advanced wasd mech chassis

Description
HOX! THIS BUILD HAS SURVIVAL PRINTABLE VERSION NOW

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2831306352
to-do:
add 45 degree strafing
gravity aligner variant

Idea behind this chassis is that it would be customized by each user according to their preferences.


Something about modifying it:
Gyroscope placement can be edited freely.
right now the chassis has 25 gyroscopes
from which 11 are overridden
and 14 non-overridden.
if you want sharper mouse response add
non overridden gyros.
if you want more stability add overridden
gyros.
if you change seat location copypaste
current seat to save controls and recompile
mecs pb.
restricting leg movement WILL break
animations.
renaming joints will break animations.


Something about usage:
controls
w=forward & s=backward
a & d = strafe left & right
spacebar = jump
c=sprint (lean forward if jumpy)
spacebar + w = lunge
spacebar + a or d = sidejump left& right
mouse & q & e = orientation control/steering
tips:
you can tap buttons to use shor bits of animation
(for example smaller steps in strafing)
your orientation WILL MATTER during maneuvers
and should be considered at all times.
you can soften landings by holding
spacebar mid-air and releasing it
just as you hit the ground.
Correctly timed sidejump can be used for wall jumping
practice piloting with voxel damage off or block
destruction off. Mech works with block&voxel
destruction on but some moves are risky.


Great thanks for Trekkerjoe, whose MECS script powers this thing.
MECS available here:

Also feel free to share your custom versions of this here. It would be really nice to see how people use this thing.

Great design, is there a small grid version for this?

Hox! this build can now be built in survival. New link in the description.

I think so yes. Humanoid legs just are much more annoying to animate

I wonder, can this same method be used to make a mech with forward facing legs
(humanoid) instead of backward facing legs?

Your chassis is awesome. I used it as a base and rebuilt it at a larger scale to make an epic mech:
