badlieutenant 2 Posted April 28, 2018 Hi, Does anyone know how to force animations for tracks on a tank? I want tanks to follow the road in a mission, and I belive this can be done by attaching it to a car with attachto (it appears to work anyway). However, the tracks does not move, so it looks silly. I know that a way to force a tank to move along roads is to make the leader invisible, and use setpos along the road (30-40 meters at a time) and make the tank follow, but this makes for a very sluggish ride. Anyone who has any ideas (preferably a seasoned scripter or developer)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badlieutenant 2 Posted April 28, 2018 forcefollowroad only works if you use a ton of waypoints along the road, and the ai drives like he's on crack (mowing down everything along the side of the road in turns and junctions). So that's no good. But thanks for the input anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could use limitSpeed to prevent the tank from going faster than 50kmh, which can reduce the menace a bit. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
