Someone needs to FR revive and improve this to be a functional thing

Hello, is it possible to do more than one animation (on/off) for block and link it to a speed?

We need more!

Okay, thanks for your response anyway!

Probably not, I don't know if I will actually develop these any further.

Will you update these to work with the new 2x2 wheels?

read description

Also a toggle in the terminal to reverse track directions would make it possible to control via event controller as well and would be neat.

I love this mod and with the new event blocks it is possible to make it move in sync with tires. Can we get different sizes though? I hope this mod isn't dead.

there's so many tank designs in Space Engineers its amazing Keen hasn't actually added tank tracks yet

I take it since its animated that it doesn't effect weight distribution and traction like an actual track would. Looks good though.

I'm confused, how are these placed on a vehicle?

Can you do a keyboard-reactive update for this? I want it to be synchronized with the wheels when I press W. And one thing I'm wondering is, can a real tank track wheel be made with animation? If we expand the current wheel model to the side and give it a tank track image, can we also add animation to the Space Engineers game engine?

These look great!

Anyway I like the mod, made my excavator a lot more fancy

I wonder why didn't the mod maker make it like the exhaust block. When the tracks detect energy usage or movement, they activate

for people asking about stopping it when not moving, you could try using a 1x1 wheel suspension and have a sensor set to detect the wheels wiggle when you steer. Then have the sensor turn off or on the belt which the mod says can be toggled off?

holy crap... if we can get something like AWG's tank tracks animated ohhhh boy. Combine with a tank steering script with added functionality to turn these on and off when keys are held...

Well, it is an awesome proof of concept. Keep going, we need this in space engineers so bad.

At the moment you can only turn it on or off. It's mainly just a proof of concept so far.

Is there a way to stop it from spinning while the vehicle is still? Am I missing something? I appreciate the effort and it is a good start for sure, but if it just spins continuously, what is it for?

I am really disappointed, why is it that the tracks are permanently moving even when the tires stand still? I have to manually turn the track movement off or on, this way that mod seems kinda useless to me, would be much cooler if it only moved when the tires move :/

Wow

YES YES YES I once thought about this, and now it is made! Thanks!

O.O Holy crap!

neat

Got my hopes up....

It's just a animated block that dosen't move as the wheels drive LAME!

Good

yes

Good on you, tracks for rovers / tanks etc has been in limbo for so long but no there is a start. Thanks for your effort and time. Cheers mate.

This, this gives me great joy

If you keep going in regards to tank tracks, I have a few suggestions:

-Proper guide wheels and drive sprockets for the treads.
-Versions of the track that have "slack" in the overarching portion of the track.
-I presume you'll be making larger or smaller tracks as well? If so, how about a set of really small tracks on the scale of the tiny 1x1 wheels? Think the little tracks on bomb disposal bots IRL.

That's all I got for now. You're doing good things for the SE community.

YOU. ARE. AMAZING

I've published an update to add the tracks to the G-Menu. I didn't realize it could only be found by searching. It now has entries in Small Blocks and a group variant on the main page. Hopefully everyone can find it easier now.

Now this is awesome!

I like it

@Nezuro You need to place the tracks as a separate block.

I can't make it work. Trying in different settings and its always normal wheels

This block is only 2 wheels long. I think it would be difficult to have multiple segments sync up properly, but I haven't tried yet

>>> too mnay time
I mean "many", sorry.

>>>The track is just a separate block that overlays the two actual suspension wheels

It's cool! Is this mean what we can place a more than 2 wheels-long track? Or this block have 2 wheels-long only?

@FHN The track is just a separate block that overlays the two actual suspension wheels, and looks like an armor panel where it attaches. I will add a brief setup guide to explain shortly.

I do not quite understand, this wheel is added as a separate unit, or should it be sought in groups of wheel blocks?

Keen may hire you

So much years we wait it... Thanks, dude! I understand what we can build tracks by hinges and rotors, but it's waste too mnay time. Thank you for that mod!

This looks amazing. I'll certainly use this as it is but mega treads for a huge tank would be a game changer.

This. This is what I've dreamt of.

Wish they would do this vanilla.

Unarmoured Krissy be like

Bless you man, been looking for an addon like this for years! It's finally time to remake all the tanks in my workshop with this mod.
