#2 Wow, it's a genuine cross post.

#3 This is a really good think that you worked on that point, because I loose my hair to deal with the exportation.

Do you already manage to make a vehicule with spring animation ? because this is this part I don't manage to do.... =:<

#4 Your first vehicle got me through setting up a new model and getting it to correctly view it within the engine.

Can you help me with the following?

1. Turrets on vehicles: how do we corectly attqch them and assign them correct dummy points etc.

2. Treads for tanks: do you have any info on this?

3. Animating landing gear, or doors opening.

4. Glass cockpits: how do we set up a real cockpit?

Thanks, your help so far has been great...

#5 In the basic Torque code, turret is a separate model.
It is fixed on the mount10 of the body, and the barrel is fixed on the mount0 of the turret.

#6 We definatly plan to be working both of your requests. Right now I am working on wheel code so that will deal with the spring animation. Then we will be adding things onto this tutorial one by one. I hope to really build out vehicles as much as I can. I ask for anyones help in doing this as it is alot of work to do! If you can please come and sign up for the yahoo group!

#7 To reply to the mount0 and mount10, I thought mount0 was the driver and mount10 the bomb mount? Do you create a totaly diferent model of th eturret and place in the same directory as the model and code it?

#8 As far as I remember, it's the way it is build inside the basic Torque.
