Pretty much, flying seats that you are, in essance, strapped into. Surprisingly stable!
This has endless possibilites!
What i mean't is, Having a cockpit which has this grabby thing pressed down on you via spring (not stiff) so when you move one way the mech will walk/move that way, if you grab it'll shoot and so on
Fishrock... What do you mean SBG?
Whoop's howtzer invented it, not SBG (Stevebigguns)
Xd
Ah. Hm.... might have to try that. Might be more space efficient than my current solution: running on top of a wheel to control direction and grabbing to shoot.Quote:

This is a really great idea! I couldn't help but make some. :)
There are some improvements I made to the design horwitzer came up with. I made the part that wraps around the player invisible and made it fit much more snugly so it doesn't wobble around or fall off.

The spare grab switch is used to emit grenades, here's how it looks in create mode.

Here's a video if it in action.

How heavy an object can be attached to one of these things? I was thinking about making a rocket launcher or something.
very cool ayneh, but how did you make it invisible??? also is there a thin back plane, and if not how did you make the grabs still grabbable. (whenever i had very small grabs they HAD to have the metal back piece for them to be grabbable.
There's a tutorial link in my signature for invisible material of any shape or size.
Pigtails, flowers, and an AK. Your sackgirl looks like a sesame street character.... with an AK. Cracks me up.Quote:

The AK in the video is SO COOL! :D I want to make a level with this now...
No more tutorials until the leopard is finished XD!!!
No layer shifting. It's multiplayer friendly in the sense that you could have multiple people with weapons, but since you can't layer shift, you'd just be shooting eachother in the back. Ideally, you'd put one per layer, or just have one player be heavy machine gunner while the others use paintinators.Quote:

I tried making one with a snug fit like Ayneh said, but it still fell off pretty easy. I tried hers and it stayed on pretty good, but you could still throw it if you weren't careful: sackboy just kinda' ducks under it when you hit the ground after a full speed running jump.
I made one that somehow (through awesomeness) moves up to your shoulders right when you jump onto the middle of it. It's so cool! :D
Themed after Ayneh's AK, it has a normal "shoot" button on the right and the left with "throw" gernades, but mine are actual contact explosives made to look like gernades so they aren't on a timer (because I couldn't get mine to work like Ayneh's! :P)
