Driving anything

i am having a problem...

i am trying to get the boxes flyable/drivable on elongation..... i dont care if the actual boxes on the conveyorbelt are drivable themselves, rather just spawn one out of a plasma pistol.

anyway, i read some where that it is possible to change the skin of the sentinal beam.... and everyone can see it.... so i changed it to the box hlmt tag.... then i put it as the banshee gun.... then i nulled out everything in the shad, cont, lens, and mode for the banshee..... needless to say it didnt work....

I have looked all over this site for a tutorial on how to do this... but there is just no information about it....

Ok. Open the Vehi you want it to be, lets say "Banshee".

Goto the Dependancies and select the Weap tag and change it to the sentinal beam.

Goto the sentinal beam, and in the Dependancies, change the HLMT to the box.

Done!

-You can null the shaders/model to make the banshee not there.

any ideas on how to get other people to either ride/ drive the object?

they were not able to see the skin on the sentinal beam

i did... they still cannot see the skin on the SB
...
i droped one and asked them what it looked like and they said a SB.,,,, so they cant see the new hlmt for the SB,,,, that is the problem...

How did you get it so others could see you flying the box?

well.... i copied the off set of the mode of the ghost to the box mode.... then i copied the offset of the ghost vehi to the red box in the bloc tab...
