did a thing
3 wheeler buggy

 

Also doing a thing

Pigeon engine sidecar

Features:
- Spinning at any moment
- Flipping if you forget to move the passenger weight

Don't mind the mesh, its just a placeholder, its better than looking at a box frame.

It's part of a small modding challenge for autocross at MfD. The rules are simple: Use the performance parts from a Pigeon/Wigeon and try to win.

Of course we all went for a sensible option.

 

nice trailblazer

a vehicle!

knowing penta and judging by the style it is probably some newer luxury car or suv

 

I think it looks more like Skoda Enyaq

 

needs to display the jato's purple flame mesh out of the exhaust and temporarily widen the FOV

Usually it does display flames although that seems bugged on some maps.

Also I'll see what I can do regarding the FOV change.

 

it really does need the jato flame mesh because it's bigger and cooler looking

 

You want it larger?


Jokes aside, the reason I do not want to do the jato mesh way is because it is, well, a mesh. That would mean I'd have to write some more or less complicated code to figure out in which direction to point the mesh, rotate it accordingly and position it accordingly. Then there'd be the issue of loading the mesh at all, I do not wish to store it in the game engine like the old vanilla maps did.

 

oh ok
but could you make it purple

 

No I can't unfortunately

 

A question:
have you ever planned a limousine or wagon body?
Just curiosity

 

Deleted, im an idiot and didn't look close enough

 

I think this is what you need.

Code:

local M = {}

local function updateGFX()
    local maxRPM = 5500
    if powertrain and powertrain.getDevicesByCategory("engine") and powertrain.getDevicesByCategory("engine")[1] then
        maxRPM = powertrain.getDevicesByCategory("engine")[1].maxRPM - 500
    end
    local range = electrics.values.rpm / (maxRPM / 8)
    local id = 66
    if range == 0 then return end
    if range > 6.5 then id = 67 end
    if range > 8 then range = 8 end
    if range < 3 then range = 3 end

    for _,v in pairs(powertrain.getDevices()) do
        if v.thermals and v.thermals.exhaustEndNodes then
            for _,v2 in pairs(v.thermals.exhaustEndNodes) do
                obj:addParticleByNodesRelative(v2.finish, v2.start, range * -1, id, 0.05, 100.0)
            end
        end
    end
end

M.updateGFX = updateGFX
return M

(just a quick example, needs to be refined)

 

Oh damn, thank you! Can I use this if I release the mod?

 

yes
