(Idea) boats+havock Options

[quote]Well Chances are they will have some sort of way, probably (or maby) through scripting, to put force in a direction (because of havock), as it would have numerouse applications in the game.

So Boats Float, right?

If you've played HL2, you see that certain things float, and move if force is aplied to one side, but in a more fluid, sliding motion than if they were on the ground (just like in real life).

So the whole idea is to simply script somthing so that it aplies force to part of a boat, and let havock do the rest. This would probably only work for small boats, nothing larger than a longboat.

Still, it's anough to give wannabe pirates like myself a hell of a time.[/quote]

OK, I might actualy do this one, I just gotta learn how to apply force in a game enviroment. I have one question:

Is it most likely to be s cript comand or somthing else? I probably will do it ifit's a script comand, and might get creative if it's somthing else (sheep powered water wheel anyone?) But I think I might just to this, as long as I use stock ship modles.

What do you guys think?

[quote]Best not to have an interior, just a small ishing boat thats just a curvd peice o' wud.[/quote]

I know, Thats what I was thinking originaly, nothing larger than a longboat.[/quote]

We can start off with a small fishing boat or yacht and work up from there. Once something works, it shouldn't be that hard to get something much larger to work But for experimenting, it probably would be easier to use something small I suppose.

Interiors are the least hard thing to do anyway, so that at least shouldn't be a problem...
