here is the file that i fixed. I wrote down what i did to fix it.

PMM-3a.skp

You can, but i wouldn't use it. Here are some tips: A)you cannot make a group composed of only joints; it must have a non-joint entity. B)Joints cannot be grouped more than once. C)In order for a joint to be movable, you must group it with another object. You cannot change the properties of joints that affect the state, like ignore and static. I will post a fixed version of your model if i can. Hope this helps!

Laugh Out Loud!

Could you post the model for us?

The ball joint highlighted in the red triangle is connected to the red group. i did not edit the settings for the ball joint, yet it only rotates 20 degrees or so. What is wrong?

If you noticed, the frame looks like it is made of four boxes. just turn those boxes you see into components.

If you want the box to be movable, then you can just create four boxes that outline the shape. Then make those boxes a group.

If you are thinking of uploading it once you can embed files, you won't have too much luck. a 1:30 minute long sound is probably huge in filesize.

How to write an if command: if means if, of course. so, lets say "if frame=0 then blah blah". that means that if the frame is equal to zero, then do something. now you need to add the command to be executed. so, for example: if frame==0 then playsound('blah.wav');end. So now it will play the sound blah if the frame is equal to 0. be sure to add ";end" to the end of your if script. remember, you can also change the actions, for example: if getVar('blah')==1 then setVar('bounce',2);end, or: if getVar('blah')==5 then playsound('blah.wav');end. Hope this helps!

Am i supposed to be a collaborator? I said i was going to work on it, and i have built a vehicle.

For the example: setVar('variablename',value)
To get a variable, put in getVar('variablename')
for example: setVar('sketchy',1) getVar('sketchy')

Sounds like fun... I might be able to help.

Can there be another field that won't have to function on a certain event? i ran into this when i was building an arm, which had a receiver that calculated and processed everything, but the ontouch and ontick fields require an event to trigger them. Can there be a simple field for code like: if getVar('sens')==1 then setVar('claw',0.6);end
if a==1 then setVar('claw',0);end?

How long can a sound be? If possible can it be extended?

Can the rumble mechanism on a gaming controller be triggered?

I never figured out how to use it.

Sorry. It was too big. I just barely compressed the model below 10 mb, so you can locate it on the warehouse. search "textured Game"

I wish i could upload it, but it is just too big for the warehouse. i'm not sure about what i could do to decrease the size. could anybody give suggestions? Controls are: arrow keys-drive and steer. credit to Wacov for the idea.

Thanks!

I noticed that an object that is set to look at another object will take a long time to point at the object. Can it be set to do this faster? lookAt guns on a bomber take a long time to adjust and cannot keep up with the bomber and fighter movement, for example.
