Overview

Chassis Scripts have quite a few variables, many of them pertaining to the model, and what shows up in the Vehicle Customization Menu. The Chassis Script has all the control over how the turret and cannon handle, as well as armor defines. The Vehicle Chassis has at least 4 subkeys, defining world weapon model position, and the locations of different items in the Vehicle Creation menu. There can be any number of Weapon Slot sub keys, depending on how many weapons the vehicle has.

Particle Attachments

Using these attributes, you can have up to 10 different particles on a single model show when the vehicle is destroyed. The attributes go from 0-9. You must always state both attributes.

WRONG:

ExplosionAttachment0" "explosion1" // Attachment 0 in the model.
ExplosionParticle0" "Explosion_std" // Particle 0 on attachment 0.
ExplosionParticle1" "Explosion_std" // Particle 1 on attachment 0.

CORRECT:

ExplosionAttachment0" "explosion1" // Attachment 0 in the model.
ExplosionParticle0" "Explosion_std" // Particle 0 on attachment 0.
ExplosionAttachment1" "explosion1" // Attachment 1 in the model. This attachment can be the same as the previous attachment.
ExplosionParticle1" "Explosion_std" // Particle 1 on attachment 1.

  • ExplosionAttachmentX - This attribute contains the model attachment, which is where the particle will be created.
  • ExplosionParticleX - This attribute contains the name of the particle that will be created.
