1) how did you get your treads into posistion
2) are you planning on animating them, and how (especially all the idler wheels)?
I have at least one method down already for each of those, but its always good to know more... Mostly I've been having trouble with getting the idler rotations right (although, I haven't revived that code in a year, so I might be able to fix it now...)
ah, hehe

I would plan to animate them but right now i have very little experience in that area due to being a relative noobie.but i guess to do the tracks i would make them follow a curve with a motion path but dont hold me to that because i really dont know.
And as for the idler wheels i would just use a basic code to make them rotate as you move forword or backword in relation to the model but once again i really dont know.
I should have some more updates later gona start on the front adding in machine gun and the lights and such things.
later dudes.

As for animating the treads, I was just seeing if you had a method already. I have a piece of code that works well for controlling their motion after a little setup, but I haven't finished the portion of it yet for idler wheels. Although if you look around on the highend3d site, they have a little piece of code that can control tread speed (possibly not useful, depending. And it doesn't handle idlers either...). I've mostly been looking it over to try and nab a couple of different internal pieces of code for a whole interface script
Hang on... Give me a couple of days; a thought just occured to me - I may have a way to do something about how fast the idlers should be rotating... If anything comes up, I'll get you my revised motion code, with setup (note: involved) instructions.
