excavator

i think someone should make a working excavator because it would be very fun to use and crush cars with.

 

Yes I agree. May be intense due to so many hydraulic simulations.

 

it wouldn't be complete without terrain deformation, right tdev? riiggght?

 

tdev commenting on a forums post? insanity

 

Guys we might be onto something

 

I do not think this is the right place to ask such questions.

 

I've actually experimented with this before. Terrain manipulation is actually not simply a function called by the world editor.
It requires a TerrainEditor() object to be created:

to be configured:

and to be executed during a frame:

Unfortunately this does not work and I still don't know why exactly.

 

well this thread took an unexpected turn

 

I'm working on a knuckleboom crane for the stambello at the moment, should I be worried about the performance impact with the new hydraulics?

 

Nice idea and i was think of it,too.But i don't have too many skills to do it,may i only make a excavator prop,right,a prop.To use them,you can't make any interesting mistake with it,you only can do is drop it or driving a car to crash it.Sorry,i let everybody down.

 

well i think this thread is telling us that we will have an excavator and terrain deformation pretty soon

and you are one message away from your 3k messages milestone

 

I don’t think terrain deformation will be a thing too soon but I guess they are working on it. An excavator would be cool anyways, especially with the hydraulics system being developed

 

You shouldn’t get ahead of yourself. If we look at this from a different perspective all that was “said” is that a developer has the same interests as us. We shouldn’t assume that this means they’ll put effort into it, since there is so many other things to sort out.

But hey, worth a shot tdev

 

this came very unexpected

 

I for one just want the terrain morphs from Excite Truck

 

This isnt the correct place for this type of thread.
