DEV NOTES

Yet another great idea posted on the mod request thread :) I thought this one would be quite easy to set up after what I had done for the UFO, anyway it was still harder that I thought it would be :p
First of all the Heli itself is actually a giant Longboard... With the helicopter model sticked on top of it XD I had some troubles to get the collisions working correctly (so that the different parts of the Heli won't collide with each other), but I found a good enough solution to have something drivable without passing through too many solid objects XD
When the main body was done, I started tweaking the flight abilities, after making a copy of the ones I used for the UFO. I didn't change many things, only added a smooth slow down when you stop moving, the alignment with the camera, and the angle to the Heli model when you move front/back/left/right. I also reused some code from the Bumper Cars to make the driver/passenger visible and placed it correctly on the Heli seat ;)
Then came the weapons :D First the minigun, which is once again the one you can find in GoatZ. Except it's shooting twice as fast and does twice the damages of the original ^^ I hade to use some trick to give it some fake goat owner in order to avoid rewriting all the code of the gun, but it ended up working really well :)
Finally I added the rocket launchers. I had in mind some Saints Row helicopter when I made this one so I tried to copy the behaviour of one of them which was able to send missiles that will follow your cursor. Fortunately I could reuse part of the code I made for the auto-aiming balls of the APM, and part of the laser swords code from Hero Goat in order to make efficient missiles. Also the Waste of Space DLC added some cool water rockets that were fitting perfectly as a missile when retextured :p
