I haven't had much luck digging around and with my typically short timetables i was hoping i might get a hand with what i'm doing rather than flounder around eating up time... so without further rambling.. It's my interest to create a tech that follows the spirit of the morphball, specifically the image/form change. I want to do this utilizing pre-selected monster parts (smallflying's smallbathead, smallplainbody, smallbatfwing). i've looked over some tutorials but i didn't glance any that address this particular type of creation. I'm not looking for combat features or anything, simply formshift like morphball allows that would provide controllable flight. I originally began using morphball to give a frame of reference but quickly began to feel overwhelmed given the scope of what i was trying to achieve seems beyond most tutorials. My pet project has overwhelmed me. What would be the best baseline tech to modify for this effect? How would i define jumpkey based movements that provide elevation when active and glide when released? Are there files already in place inside the packed.pak (other than the part's .png's obviously) that can help me achieve this with little effort? How do i add this in the AI tech's listings? I'm hoping to figure this out, get it working, and then possibly apply it to other forms as well. For now, i'm content to add it as a tech.
I'm interested in this too! For a while now I've had ideas and assets for a bunch of fun/simple transformation techs like the one you're proposing, but it doesn't seem to be the focus of much research and I Am Not a Wizard. Best of luck in finding an answer, and sorry that I don't have much to contribute.
