WIP Hot air balloon

[Miner34]

I'm working on creating a hot air balloon based on the new features getting implemented in this pull request. The first image shows what it looks like when spawned.
In the second image you can see it fly. Currently it is not controllable (it just flies away). Later on i think i will use this 3D model, but i want to get it working as expected first.

wow nice

Looking good! Question: why does the N/B collapse when it's flying? Do you know?

What a cool idea, it'll be awesome to see those in the sky + it will be awesome to spectate things from them

Cool decoration and useful vehicle.

I hope you make it skinnable

Just because the part of the script meant to "inflate" it is not in yet.

Will There be a option to Hook up cars/nodes
To the underside of balloon?

It will not be powerful enough to lift anything other than itself, so this is not planned.

So, here is a little explanation of how i'm trying to inflate the balloon.
I have a node roughly in the center of the balloon. All the nodes in the balloon
try to get away from the air node (green arrows), and meanwhile
receive a lift force (red arrows, already implemented).
To keep the air node in position, i will not use beams, instead i will add a force
to keep it centered.

(sorry for the crappy drawing)

Damn

So, i'm currently stuck due to a bug (if it's a bug...). I am currently just waiting for an answer from the main dev. Meanwhile i might start some other modding project... land mines maybe?
