#"Handle" Part for creations

I was thinking of methods Major Chad could interact with parts, and i thought of the following idea: A "Hand-hold" part, that allows the creation to be held in hand by Major Chad, while he is walking/outside of a vehicle. This would allow the community to create all sorts of items for Chad to use, like MANPADS, guns, equipment/parachutes, the possibilities are endless. There could be a weight/size limit if necessary (may cause bugs if items are too large/heavy), but I think this would not only be an awesome addition, but it would allow effectively infinite possibilities for hand-held items instead of a "gun" or "missile launcher" being a stand-alone part.

thank yall, i saw a few posts asking for guns (like generic ar-15 or m9 pistol), but i thought of this idea, and realized it would probably free up devs from having to make weaponry, as guns/missiles it could be made from parts already in-game, and if there were hand held weaponry added as a stand-alone part, there would only be like one or two guns/launchers; this could vastly increase the diversity of weaponry available to chad

i could see it possibly being difficult to program the holding a creation while walking, but I would think it could overall save dev time over implementing regular weaponry.
Another thought was that there could even be Chad-posing in the editor (like as we saw in the steering wheel showcase), where we can customize how chad holds the creation when he picks it up

Can imagine parachuting or using a wingsuit with this one.

Doesn’t this sorta exist in the form of the cylinder grip? It just needs the added functionality of chad being able to interact with it (which they may already have implemented)

I do think the already-in-game interactions with Chad and Handles/steering wheels could hopefully make this easier to add in game, as all it leaves is the ability for chad to move the creation while walking

ues this could be cool, a game that i know allready dose this is startship EVO, however if they add this instead of dedicated chad items/inventory/weapons would have a significant drop in their gameplay, as in animations and potential FPS mechanics

While this is cool for firearms, depending on how this could go, this to lead to handles or latters

Do you mean ladders?

It would be awesome to make something like this
But I would much rather just have pre-made stuff by the devs so that proper FPS mechanics can be fitted into the game

the punishment for making an unstable craft, or crashing a plane is it flipping and whatnot. You can flip it, and its restarting/ respwaning (in multiplayer). If youre just able to flip it... then whats the point? you dont get the satisfaction of building that actually stays upright if youve been struggling with that if you can just flip it

It’s not “bad game design” to punish you for making a bad craft. Your example ‘Halo: 3’ is a fast paced arcade shooter, if you flip your warthog, it’d suck to have to go back and get a new one. So Bungie added the ability to just flip it. (Not to mention, you’re also a super-soldier in the 2500s who can canonically punch tanks hundreds of feet away)

In a building/simulation game, part of the fun is figuring out what’s wrong with your craft, and fixing it. If you made an extremely top heavy car that keeps falling over, then YOU did something wrong and should figure out ways to fix it. The game shouldn’t give you a way you to just put a bandaid on it till it flips again.

Games like Sprocket aren’t Mil-Sims either, yet sprocket still punishes you if you make a bad tank by forcing you to figure out what’s wrong with it. Removing that aspect removes a core part of an engineering style game. Even if it’s something small like a flip button

#

Then why suggest?

#

Again, part of the fun is fixing the issues your craft has. If you really cannot build a stable craft for the life of yourself, and need a flip button, build it yourself and add pistons that set you right side up

#

What? Either youre not english speaking, and I can understand the struggle, or you are a child and not worth my time to try and argue with

#

Because half of what you are saying is incredibly difficult to read. “That literally has nothing to do with this if trying get some how it's some type of skill issue” doesn’t make sense at all.

#

I’m not taking this seriously, I’m explaining why it’s a bad idea.

#

Then go to bed, you could’ve argued in the morning. You are painting me as the bad guy here for not being able to understand you, when you yourself are saying you need sleep and are too tired to think.

Get some rest, please. It’s healthy for you, and staring at a phone 24/7 is not. I need some sleep too

#

It’s a figure of speech. Everyone is on their phones an unhealthy amount of time, and using it before bed is not good for you.

I have not pingged you once since the first time you replied to me. You can turn off notifications. I’d recommend making a scheduled time that notifications for your phone turns off besides a select few (like phone calls from family or friends)

#

Once again, saying something that makes little sense. Get some sleep, you are tired. You said it yourself

#

And I respect that. I have never violated your privacy or asked anything about you that you may not want to share. Ive only recommended that you get some obviously much needed rest.

#

“Anything I do is non your business Anyway” you didn’t ask, you spoke. I answered. I can speak, this is a public forum. If you are being annoyed by the pings, disable notifications or set your phone down

#

The youth of the world, everyone. Aggravated at me explaining why an idea of theirs takes away from the game.

#

You cannot let things go, can you?

#

Yet I have a decent enough information from this argument alone to conclude within a reasonable amount of doubt that you are a child.

I don’t see how me explaining how an idea is bad is a “Deceleration of the world” but… aight

#

Context? Please go further into detail and explain how I am one of these people. I’d really love to see what I’ve done and said wrong and see how I can improve and build upon myself. That is… if you can even find any examples

#

Not at all! In what twisted world would this get me killed! Oh my

#

Stating a point that has no political meaning and is generally an opinion based on experience would get me killed?! Oh boy, I sure am scared!

#

It’s really not that hard to understand.

I don’t see how stating an opinion that is based on experience and is not related to politics would get me killed.

#

Explain the, please. Enlighten me

#

Do you see how bizarre this is, to escalate from me explaining how an idea isn’t a good one, to you saying I’d get killed over saying something about the youth of the world. Isn’t it odd how it’s all changed topics because of you? Strange… 🤔

#

I never took offense. Is explained how it’s not bad game design, and literally part of the genre of game

#

And a flip button isn’t it. As I said an hour earlier, if you can’t building something that stays upright, then build something that will flip your creation. The fun of this genre of game is working through problems and fixing them

#

Storm works doesn’t have a flip button
Space engineers doesn’t have a flip button
Trail makers doesn’t have a flip button
Why would this specific game have a flip button, when all of the aforementioned games follow the same general design basis? Work around your problems, and/or solve them

#

Never saw it. Guessed it didnt have it.

One example has it, that doesn’t mean others need it. That takes away from the challenge of building crafts

#

Then you don’t need a flip button! Good job, you solved your problems!

#

And with making a plane fly straight, and a car go straight, you shouldn’t need a flip button

#

Alright bub. I’m tired. I’m going to get some rest. It’s… what 3:30 am for you now? You should get some too

#

Staying up, having hollow arguments with strangers on the internet and getting upset isn’t my definition of a good all-nighter, but whatever boats your float

Oh, didn’t realize it was all gone. Idk, either he or the mods deleted it all

I’m betting on him deleting it all, since he was begging to be correct

#

It was SGTRoss btw. If he wants to engage in argument, just ignore him
