Vehicle Dropship
By Darknet & vitaloverdose
Works online
this is my solution to a long standing problem with creating a dropship that can carry vehicles. I spent quite a long time on this script.The ship was built and made flyable by darknet and i then subclassed the ship and added the dropship system. Theres no reason this cant be a single class its just splitting it up this way allows 2 people to work on the same project at the same time. This system if in the alpha test stage, it had been tested online by a few people as well as myself and so far all the reports have been good. We did have a moving hatch for the back door but because you cant animate collision on meshes online the idea had to be scraped.Though i think ive worked out a way around it .

Vitals DropShipSystem
Ive left the logs i used for testing in the code.
The ship has 7 weapons on it , mainly to give the bots something to do while the craft is in flight although im not 100% sure this function is working correctly but it wont effect the way the ship works in anyway if it dosent.
- The ship has to land on reletivly flat ground before it will release the vecs.
- The ship can carry as meny vehicles as you can fit on or in it but each vehicle adds weight to the dropship making it harder to fly.
- The system uses 3 simulated states to get the job done gravitysucks,VehicleParked VehicleFlying.
- The system can tell altitude of the craft as well as tilt.
- You have to land on relativly flat ground.

Discussion
Vitaloverdose im trested in taking this script further if anyone has a decent static mesh for a dropship.
Ambershee: Take a look at the Leviathan. That deploys into a static weapon using animation and has the collision intact.
detour187 In one of the bonus packs for ut2004 there is a map called 'thrust' that has a decent dropship, I'll see If I could get the file.
