Lil' Sharky - Drone, Hand Held Transmitter and Monitor

Someone had asked for a drone, complete with hand held transmitter and a POV (RT_camera) Monitor... Well, Here you go. Nothing fancy and just a quick throw together, but it should get the job done.

Models are separate and have to be loaded individually, the drone is lilsharky_drone.mdl and the transmitter and monitor/phone is lilsharky_transmitter.mdl.

Both have Red and Blue skins.

The drone has 3 animation sequences... Idle (does nothing), Hover (props spin and the drone bobs up and down and PropSpin (does just that, spins the props.) The Drone will default itself when using the sequences (sorry, still working on that), but use the bip_fuse bone to position the drone after importing the sequence. There is a lens bone for attaching the RT_Camera, but it will need rotating after zeroing.

The transmitter has 4 bones. the bip_transmitter bone controls them all for positioning. The default position is about waist heigh on the snipe. The transmitter and the phone/monitor have bodygroups and each can be turned off or on (in the event you want to use the phone for something else.)

For those who just hate unknown controls, add this to your sfm_defaultanimationgroups.txt file located in your SourceFilmmaker\game\platform\cfg folder
