Flyable Space Shuttle

Ok, I have been planing on making this, just want some mapping input.

I am gonna have a shuttle bay, I plan on making a shuttle that is a func_train, that will fly to the moon and back.

Now there are a number of issues that will make this .... diffecult at minimum.

1 is the doorway, I am thinking of just making an energey door ( passable flag on a glowing door)
and then have the flight path clipped to block the door while in motion.

Next is the flying itself.

I just had the idea of making the 2 or 3rd path_corner of the flight plan, turn into a long box that is filled with func_convery and scolling texture of space to simulate flight.

Upon reaching the 4th path corner, it will change the speed to like 1 or .5 and then resume regular speed at path_corner 5, then flying into the shuttle bay on the moon base.



If you guys have any other thoughts on this or would like to give a try at making a shuttle craft, then hit me up


Important If you make a shuttle, DO NOT MAKE IT AN ENT


any thoughts on this one would be helpful

Ok, making the spaceshuttle now, it is going well, I figured out how to fix the door problem, using many mutlimanagers and multisourcers


anyways, still havnt figured out how I am gonna do the paths, most likey a sqaure box hollowed out with black walls, then inside of that another box with sky texture, then at somepoint have the convery with scrolling sky.

Teaser of the Shuttlecraft

not final textures at all, and obviously havnt finished the interior or added door ( door will be on back of shuttle )

looks good man...
well....
looks like it WILL look good

I suggest putting the door on the side and add a sunroof =) and lower the roof a bit.
