-
This is a Sub category Thread, Parent OP thread can be viewed here: --->>>OP Thread
The FV4034 Challenger 2 is a British main battle tank (MBT) in service with the armies of the United Kingdom and Oman. It was designed and built by the British company Vickers Defence Systems (now known as BAE Systems Land & Armaments).
The Challenger 2 is an extensive redesign of the Challenger 1. Although the hull and automotive components seem similar, they are of a newer design and build than those of the Challenger 1 and only around 3% of components are interchangeable.The tank's drive system provides a 550 km range, with a maximum road speed of 59 km/h. It has a four-man crew.The Challenger 2 is equipped with a 120-millimetre (4.7 in) 55-calibre long L30A1 tank gun, the successor to the L11 gun used on the Chieftain and Challenger 1.Working to bring this baby with all its advantages into gta5 soon. here are some Pictures too

@FoxtrotDelta Looks awesome, is there a way to put a flag on it and make it move?
-
@bur587 Making it move is tricky. it can be done. but i don't quiet understand how yet. because zmodeler 3 does not support cloth movements yet. may be in near future.
-
@FoxtrotDelta Could a script make the flag move?
-
@bur587 im afraid not.
-
@bur587 But there is a way. i believe. if i can replace the original Flag in gta 5 with something on the tank model without using the zmodeler 3 that would Do the trick! for example i can take the flag from the monster . or the roof top. and somehow make it integrated with the tank model. via tuning etc.
-
Or perhaps use a script to attach a prop flag to the vehicle. It all would be easier if we could just edit cloth objects, but Oleg himself said that he doesn't quite understand how it works
-
@SkylineGTRFreak using a script would be the last resort. i am currently , working on a different approach. and you would be glad to know. i can make new Weapons in gta 5. and may be , Just may be. i shall be able to make the Tank Shells Ricochet.
-
@FoxtrotDelta cool, I wanted to try out custom weapon settings for the Wiesel as well
But the Wiesel is really problematic anyway due to it's size ^^
-
@SkylineGTRFreak do you mean its too small:? what's the problem with Wiesel? and i think weisel 1 and my Crab IFV Both have similar Weapons. if i release my Crab Soon. in 2 days time. you can use my Weapon Settings, that would save you time. but yes its a good thing more, people experimenting with Weapons. two heads are better than one. who knows, what you might discover.
-
@FoxtrotDelta hm, how to say... I currently have problems that when moving the turret, it topples over pretty easily, as if the turret was to heavy. I already checked COL mass values and handling data, but I can't really figure it out. I wanted to try with removing som vehicles.meta flags (_is_tank) and see if it does anything.
And that's good to hear
But I will try out as well, so I can get a little familiar with it. As you sad, two people are better than one 
-
@SkylineGTRFreak it happened to me once. the Wheels were wrong. left side and right side wheel names were all wrong in my case. made the tank topple. upside down. try taking down parts one by one and keep checking at every step. i removed the turret. but tank still toppled. removed extras still same, i kept removing parts and putting them back. until i found if i removed left and right side wheels tank didn't topple anymore. and specifically 2 wheels were messed up.

@FoxtrotDelta Epic! i wonder if we could have the shooting effect script same as on video look at starts: 00:59 min and ends: 01:02
or maybe @LeeC2202 can work on this.
-
@NaughtyBoy 00:59 to 1:02 is a Tank Shell Ricochet , not a shooting effect. Ricochet of projectiles is already achievable, in gta 5, without the need of a Script. but Yes, we will need a script to make it a Chance based ricochet event, as if i introduce ricochet able ammunition. every single shot will bounce off the Target, we might need chance based trigger effect. which can be achieved by a script. but natively bouncing of shells, can be achieved right now.
