Ground-based UAV (actually UGV)

[hcpookie 3770]

I have a question about a UGV config. I would like to make several different kinds of UGVs if I can get the darned config to work. I am trying to copy the UAV config settings of relevance into a new vehicle config.

The problem seems to be that the only way to get a UAV to work is to make it an Air vehicle. If I define it as a ground vehicle, the instant I enter the UAV terminal, the message "UAV Destroyed!" appears. I then switch the unit to the BIS MQ9 UAV, it works fine... so I know I have everything synchronized correctly.

The issue is if you make it an AIR vehicle, it can fly. Strange seeing a wheeled vehicle flying overhead in the pattern :)

I'm considering trying to set the flight characteristics to make the vehicle (a) go VERY slow to avoid liftoff, and (b) try to configure a startup script to force the vehicle to "flyinheight" 0 or something like that.

Has anyone else tried working on a UGV config? Am I wasting my time?

are you inheriting the MQ-9? like class My_UGV: MQ9PredatorB

or using lines from the mq-9 config?

EDIT: i started a topic regarding EOD bots..heres an answer i got, might help

Thanks Slatts, I'll have to do some more research. To answer your question yes I was inheriting from the MQ9 just like that. Like I said, it worked as a UAV (flying ground vehicle LOL). This remoteControl setting looks promising!
