[LVS] Liebherr 1070-4.2 Mobile Crane

THE CRANE WORKS. SORTA. IT USES CODE AND ACTS LIKE A TANK TURRET BUT THERES NO PHYSICS AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT INTO AN ACTUAL LEGIT CRANE :(

So, now that thats outta the way. This is a Liebherr 1070-4.... fricking uh, small-medium sized mobile crane!

This project was more or less a proof-of-concept thing really. I wanted to see if I can make a mobile crane using LVS. And it was.. somewhat of a success? It looks the part and has pretty neat features but uh, most of it ended up going to waste.

Lets start with the truck. Easier part of this process, just did some rigging and animating and porting over essentially a 8x8 flatbed. Truck worked fine and there are some invisible buttons you can use on the port side of the crane, near the toolbox. One of them extends the outriggers, the other one brings them down. They move slightly underground, this was because I intended for the models' collision model to work. Unfortunately it cannot happen, and its the reason why you cannot rope anything onto the end of the crane either. Sad.

The more exciting part, the crane itself. It is a separate model and entity. It runs off the same code as say, a tank turret! So you aim the boom the same way you'd aim a tank barrel. Of course, nothing else really happens and as I found out (sadly), theres no way to my knowledge to make the physical model move along with the crane. This means that yes, the boom cannot be interacted with. You cannot do well, crane stuff with it. Cry everytime

That being said though! You still get a sweet looking mobile crane!! It drives! It moves! The doors are animated! You can pose it! And theres a reason why I made the crane part a separate entity, because it means you can put a whole lot of stuff on the back! Go make your own technical or scud launcher lol

Light also work too.

Anyways, have fun, and take care driving it! It is EXTREMELY ANNOYINGLY TOP HEAVY when the crane is mounted!! Which you do by basically slapping the crane onto the body. May take several tries.
