Vehicle Teleporting?

Dj Suppai Saru · Post by **Dj Suppai Saru** » Sat Mar 13, 2004 2:21 pm

How about a portal that is wide/big enough to transport a vehicle?
That would be completely awsome.

But, Is it possible?

I want to know if it is so i can start to figure out how to do it...

Thanks for all your help.

regular teleporters won't teleport a vehicle

but with some modding, im sure its possible

you could try changing the collision model of a vehicle to the MC's. i dont no if that'll work or not.

don't believe it would unless after you changed it, you set it to be invincible due to the fact that the vehicle would die...

no it wont die. blood will come out... thats all. ive tried it

You sure? I figured that it would die due to the fact that the reason you swap CM's in SP is so that you are invincible to damage. Hmmm....intriguing...that would be interesting...splattering blood all over a level. Well if switching the models helps, then the next step is setting up the teleporter pairs to work right.

Yes it would be cool if you could teleport vehicles.

as i recall gearbox said it was impossible to teleport vehicles...although im sure you could do it if you played as a vehicle (swap cyborg_mp for some vehicle)

Just use model swapping and make MC look like a vehicle, and without major programming thats about as far as your gonna get

yeah but can a vehicle pic up active camo? no. but when playing as a vehicle you can pick up active camo, so its plausable that you could go through the teleporter as well.

Me and my friend tested your theory BlacGrunt55, or what I get out of it, and it seems like you can cloak with the ghost.
Note:that is no photoshop job. If you want real proof, try it out yourself.
As for teleporting, I tried but no success but changing the models of the Chief with a ghost seems like the only way, even if it is just switching the models.

hmmm, powerups but no teleporting? that would seem odd, but then again, so is this whole scene...

maybe teleporting has to do with unit types? try changing the three value things to the same as on the MC... maybe that would work?

Yuck! I hate the thought... Just as you're about to return the flag to your base and win a Scorpion appears out of nowhere and blows the shit out of you. Nasty. And anyway, if you can't see how to do it, why bother, do something better.

Why bother?

BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FREAKIN AWSOME (*ahem*)

that's why....

change the vehicle ID from e.g the warthog to the MC, there, simple as that, not!
its actually quite hard to do that, but thats how you do it anyway.

maybe blue teleporters the size of garage doors? That would be sweet!!
