There's this bug where both tripod variants just immediately fall and die in a minute after i spawn them in

The heat ray is pretty inaccurate at the moment, but i'm assuming that that's already on you're
to-do list. but besides that, I was also wondering why the heat ray was on only one side. in the movie, the Tripods fire from both sides, so I was wondering why this one doesn't. Is that also something you intend to ad/fix? Also, I just noticed that the legs are pretty stiff and the Tripod tends to trip on just about anything it steps on.

I have some suggestions (I'm not a developer of any kind, so take this with a grain of salt).
Firstly, you could try making the legs a bit more flexible (by adding more joints) and/or add a trip safeguard so that the tripod doesn't constantly fall on relatively small elevations.
Maybe put the heat ray on joint of some kind so that the AI can aim it at the player. Maybe use some of the code from the robot's gun AI.
I'm not sure if these are possible or not, so again, take this with a grain of salt.
I love the mod, can't wait to see where it goes!

@Spaceman Spiff thanks for informing me about the heat ray ill try see if I can fix that. However, not sure if I can add an extra laser; I tried coding an extra laser for hours and nothing worked. Still might have that in planned though.

About the legs, does this still occur in the new update? Some people are saying that it is fixed. Please let me know

After further examination, I've noticed that the Tripod doesn't actually trip. It seems that the legs actually get stuck in the ground. Usually, the two front ones. the legs also seem to occasionally get stuck on each other, also leading it to trip. I'd say that the problem is that the walking code you used was intended for two-legged contraptions, not 3. Though The update does stop it from randomly tripping on objects, but doesn't stop the legs from getting stuck in the ground or on each other. hope this information helps!
the mod doesn't show when i subbed to it :waving:

It's normal the massive FPS drop when destroys the city? I got a 2070 Nvidia and 3900x and processor with 32gb of ram, but pc only consumes like 30%

the jeff wayne tripod heat ray has a blue impact and fire sprite, instead of orange. same with the beam, it's supposed to be orange but it's red.
