Tires

[SATAN]

Quick question.

I built a truck, added the apc tires like the truck in ATIX helicopter/extinction or jurassic park.

The thing is i cant get the tires to spin, right now they just go long with the truck.

Any ideas what class i should make them? right now they are prop_dynamic but like i said it looks stupid

func_rotating with a parent to the moving APC, then make the wheels have their own settings so that while they spin independently, they still move with the truck. This works, as I've used it hundreds of times.

Thats what i dont understand, to make a func_rotating i have to make a brush right?

The tires im using are from a model (models/props_vehicles/apc_tire001.mdl) the same ones that are on the truck in ATIX helicopter if you wanna look them up.
I know how to make a func_rotate but how the hell do you make en entity rotate???

If you are using prop_dynamic could you not put a Nodraw Textured func_rotating. Have the Prop_dynamic's parents set to the func_rotating?

lol not a bad idea, didnt think of that.

Gonna try it, see if it works
