Is it possible to make hovercrafts and mechas (or any walkers for that matter) player can drive solely by using scripts? Has anyone done that before? Thanks.

id did a buggy in one of their SDK's. It's possible, just nobody every wanted to bother.

I was thinking about this at work: for a monster you can do whatever you want. It can fly, have it offset from the origin bone to create a "hover", etc. Or are you talking about things the player can control?

i believe id added vehicle code to the the 1.3 or 1.3.1 patch that enabled them via scripts. I'd say for a hovercraft you just don't see the wheels, I'd imagine a walker could be done. Either way it would be needed to be coded from scratch.
