[SOLVED] new Lander-Leg Struct design approach - 'its realizable in unity/KSP ??'

[RaendyLeBeau]

hi all,

i searched for a new approach to realise a new Lander-Leg design for a new Project.

i had lost a lot of time but could not yet find a solution to this task.

I wonder me, Is this construction possible in unity (ksp)?   (see pictures )

The original idea is to make it from a single cast, and do not separate the lander legs.

I have come to the conclusion that it is so in unity is currently not realizable.
- maybe you have to create the base plate separately with a separate 1-lander-foot, which is attached 4x

 As always, cheers

Multiple legs on a single part are not possible with the stock modules.

You can certainly do it in Unity, just not in KSP using the stock ModuleWheelXXXX.

 

Edit:  There is one way to do it -- make the legs rigid and without suspension.  Add colliders to them and let the animation do the work.  The downside is, of course, that there is no suspension.

So only with "animation modul" to work - but with wheel-collider at the end of the legs?

Only animation -- no wheel collider. 

Use regular box/sphere/mesh colliders for the legs and feet.

thnx a lot mate !

but last Q :  in this case , the animation export RIG as 'GENERIC' or 'LEGACY' in Unity ?

I always use 'Legacy' -- seems to work best with the KSP ModuleAnimateGeneric.
