The Cars idea was good! The ONLY problem was if your driving and somones not seats then it glitches. Roblox should make a Boat version of the cars (minus the glitches). It would take a minimum amount of scripting to make it go higher or lower but it is preset to try and go down to 0 studs high (normal ocean area). It floats. It wont tip but weight CAN drift it. theres three check boxes. the usual thing from the cars (show speed or whatever...) then theres two boxes to check and one it for the thing to be able to drift and one for it not to. They are preset anyway... You can change the max speed and turn-speed of the boats. You can also set the altitude function (basically weather it should float at 0 or at 87 studs). This COULD be scripted but it would be EXTREMELY difficult! Kind of like the guis would... I like this idea. Please don't just bag on this idea cuz you think you had a bad day. Too many people just go to the forum so they can put down other people's ideas... |

Buildable isnt a word and I SAID its scriptable but how many people can honestly script a car to have a boat function with all these settings? |

if the wheels transparency is at 1 then the water would have to be cancollide true. That means people could walk on it OR if it killed them stuff would just fall on it and not get picked up. Plus people would KNOW the wheel were there... |

Do you think the cars idea was a bad idea? This is basically the car idea but for boats. How can it be bad? Its all win no lose. |
|

epic idea, very useful, and i got another idea, it can float up hills, like a wave or something, or for some realy action-y movie driveing through the beach xD |

Well... Thats an ok idea but that would mean it would have to have complex maxforce settings and stuff. I like your idea though. Maybe a tilt would be better. A boat wont just go up and down for waves but it would tilt. The only problem is some people would add crazy stuff onto their oceans and it would flip over. If they made a button we could check in the properties that amde it tilt or non-tilt it would be perfect. Thanks for the support. |

OK idea, not good or bad. |
|
|
np, it's a realy helpful idea for many things |

Roblox cars used to have to be scripted and use tools. they fixed thats with the "Cars". They should fix the boats with this "boat" idea. It would have a "Boat" section were you can choose ones made by mods. Kinda like the cars. and they have preset functions. People hesitate to make ocean or naval places BECAUSE of boats being very rare to work. If these came out everyone would have naval places and stuff. Just like what happened with the cars. |

Scriptable.
Boats are easy to make, and boats can also be scripted through VehicleSeats. |

Cars were scriptable too. But not ALL robloxians can script! I can but the problem is... If you script you can get a single space wrong and the entire script wont work. Scripts don't work as simply as alot of people think. I hate spending 30 minutes on scripting a boat that COULD be made alot easier by mods. If they fixed the cars idea why not boats? Plus, whats there to lose? Is it a BAD thing to have easy to build boats?!?!? |

It is something with positioning or bodyforce...
Look at fishing tycoon. |

Great idea i support
I have been trying to make a mobile sea base for ages but i cant script well >.< |
|
|
So hang on, you want the mods to script it into the game itself which is harder thanyou just scripting it yourself? |

Chocolateman07 is JUST the robloxian im talking about! Not EVERYONE can script! Would you rather have to script ALL of your cars!?!?! the SAME logic applies to Boats! Adn rtust me... Ive make TONS of vehicles and the only way to get them to float is to add a script. they dont have many capabilities. |
|
|
All it requires is some smart use of bodyposition. |

The mods made the cars. How bad COULD it be if they did boats too? Did the cars turn out ok? Yes? Then the boats should too... |

Would you rather they didnt even make the vehicle seats?!??!?! Thats basically what your saying when your turning this idea down becuase "its scriptable". Cars are scriptable too! Wake up! Cars have been scripted since roblox started! Same with boats! The cars were scriptable but mods made it easier anyway. Woudl you rather they didnt? Im just trying to suggest the same idea with boats. Do you honestly want to spend an hour making a boat or would you like to just get a brick and add a seat and set a few numbers and yoru done? |
|

Why not script it? Why make people MORE lazy? Make it so if they want boats, they have to make them. and imagine how long it would take the mods to make them. |
