Hello again ForgeHub goers, based on my map ideas thread i posted earlier, i need to ask this simple question. How would you go about merging vehicles with blocks? or Objects in general, is it a save quit deal or just set the vehicle tell it not to spawn at start then place the object and wallah it's done?
This can NOT easily be done as all vehicles are movable objects and so if you try to interlock it it will either pop out or disappear. with enough braces it may be plausible but still it would look messy.
You cant truly interlock a movable vehicle with objects, but you can place them so that their turret or something sticks out.
just sit the scorpion on tin cup(s) and then it cant drive around but can turn 360 and no view obstuctions

yeah kinda but it's going to be in skybox so no geometry to merge with. There was one map in the skybox posted a while back where the creator had a gauss turret that was completely covered by blocks except the turret and you could use it. I bet he just placed it ontop of an object and overlayed thinner objects to cover it but that is what im going for.
What you could do it Place a Double wall on top of the scorpion so that the main turret comes through then built a box around the scorpion etc..make a platform/add boxes etc so it looks like its in the floor.
yeah based on what people have said and me thinking about it i think thats what im going to have to do. Thanks for the help guys.
