I am Re-creating Props From an old PS2 Game (Stuntman 2002) - I Have Little Experience With Jbeam But Could Someone Help Me Understand How, or if, We Would Be Able To Make This Truck a Actual Static Object But Have a Breakable Billboard On The Back of it? I have the model, i work in Blender, I have the textures and everything... Just don't know how to create what I'm explaining. - Can Specific parts of Objects have dynamics? - Does the entire model need to be a BeamNG "Prop" - Little need detail just the middle to be breakable on the "Stuntman" Sign - I am willing to learn & also willing to pay someone for the work. Please Contact me! This depends on the amazing map i am creating - Stuntman Constructor Arena Map
Don't worry, this should be the right forum Anyways, just make the truck static like usual, and make the billboard into a dynamic vehicle/prop. You'll have to find out a way to make it spawn automatically when the map loads, but I don't know if it's possible like in Rigs of Rods. If you can't get it to work, you can do what the Fairhaven mod did and have the billboard be a regular static prop, but with no collision
I like the idea. Alternatively the jbeamed billboards could simply stay disabled. So that the billboard statics are essentially used for visuals, but once you get really close the static is hidden and and the jbeam is enabled. The same is done with pooled traffic vehicles and even the unicycle (they are stashed away until needed). That way you have all the LOD stuff from the static and the performance wont deprecate as they jbeams arent physically rendered until your really close
Maybe i could just make the entire thing a prop with heavy nodes and somehow just make the billboard part of it breakable, wherr only a couple chunks come out of the middle
I think I have a solution for you. You got a billboard you want to use or you need the artwork for that done too? You can just comment on my channel. This forum does not keep me logged in and it sends notifications to an email I am locked out of. How to do it, will be simple square collision mesh for cab, and bed. Basically a DAE being loaded with the billboard. The nodes can be anchored so they do not move at all. It will be like a brick wall. Now the billboard part would be like a real billboard that can break and whatnot. A hybrid hehe, half track asset, hald jbeam. But fixed so you load one and done.. Instead of having to import the truck from asset browser and the billboard from the vehicles selections. Any reason to not just make a flatbed have the billboard on the back that also is a jbeam ?
Not sure the best way to communicate with you but i can on anything.. Yes thats exactly what i want. The screenshots are from the stuntman game. I ripprd the model out. And im editing it making it perfect, i have the textures and i just haft to UV map it (not hard) but yeah if i could make it all one prop exactly how you are talking thats perfect, i would love to work with you on this because jbeam is like the only thing i havent mastered yet. You should see the progress on my level though its came so far youd be proud haha
I have seen this with the car jump arena mod, what if you make it so that if the player gets close enough, it plays an "animation" which is it just being called out? Idea from the automatic doors in the CJA 2024
i had some thoughts like this, wasnt sure how i would apply them, never seen this ill check it out thx
