Mech legs

[sproginator]

Hey all,

Any chance of some mech legs? Such as those to make a bipedal mech and a quadrupedal mech?

[Slam_Jones]

I recommend partweld to make your own. depending on the size, you can do girders, structural panels, etc. On my biggest Mech (which failed horribly) I used orange cans covered with structural panels and welded to reduce part count as limbs.

Example:

This guy just uses Girders as limbs. I actually managed to get him to take a few steps without falling over

Check infernal robotics and construct your own with movable parts and stuff.

I mean a proper part? Plugin etc. much like the Critter Crawler

[Wabbit]

I would love this, I wanna build a mech quite much.

[Slam_Jones]

Well, after some cursory forum searching, I've got a few ideas:

Damned Robotics (possibly defunct now) may have them.

Other than that, it looks like you might have to make your own.

Good luck!

I don't want to build my own weird legs using 300 odd parts that gets it to move at 1mph. I want it to run darn it! Hehe

Don't we all If you do figure something out, I'm interested in hearing about it.

I'm not a wizardy plugin maker, otherwise I'd do it myself, But this NEEDS to be made, I KNOW that kerbal space program is mad enough to need this! Otherwise, how else are we gonna make Gundam suits?

And how else am I supposed to give this guy the mobility he deserves?

Giant wheels!

What I did was use Infernal Robotics for hinges and rotors, and used his guns as crutches, so he could have multiple points of contact at all times. Kinda just swung the body like, well, a person using crutches.

From there, I've gotten to the point where I can take a few steps, and be able to get back on it's feet after falling over.

Well, you can get right down to it and write a kOS program to get your mech to work along with the infernal robotic parts. I saw some people pulled it off on you tube, and their mech can run (depending on your definition of running, but certainly they are not crawling. Probably faster than kerbal walk.)

[sproginator]

Meh, this game needs real mech legs and then I'll be 100% satisfied. I mean, cmon, it's got a fully fledged weapons system already!

What mod do you use that allows you to write a script for IR? Sounds very useful.

At least that is what I saw some people uses.

[sproginator]

Hrmm, You all don't seem to get what i mean, I don't want to make alot of parts move, I want a Moving part made! Get it?

[Wabbit]

This needs to be implemented. I want to make mech suits. I want to drop them from the sky in fairings like in Full Metal Panic! and feel awesome about it. We need​ this.

Thankyou! You get it too! Perhaps we should tag BahamutoD to this? Since he's a coding genius? You know, the guy that made these:

(Look at the critter crawler, I just want giant legs that, when used together, work perfectly <3

[RainDreamer]

The critter crawler is a wheel disguised as crawler legs. It uses wheels collider, and that is how it moves. It works for super tiny stuff like the crawler, but, for huge stuff you would wonder why things can't pass under the gap between the legs.
