Very good mock up, the only problem is that the buildings are a single static mesh, if you were to try and fit each building structure to any form of terrain then you would need over a hundred models.

That is unless there is a way to transport these container, the legs were adjustable in height and the feet pivot to better fit terrain.

Well my idea was to have the building static except the doors and windows obvious but to have the legs part of that static building as a "loose" dynamic object in which the height can be adjusted automatically or manually.

The legs I think are more important than the feet so if required just allow the legs to extend/contract and leave the feet as they are.

In the case of my mock idea there are only 4 models that can move, the legs obviously. It could be doable, and could pave way for other possible dynamics.

Check this out, I created it in Cinema 4D, havent used that software in years lol.

I apologise for the strange blurriness that seems to occur like a heartbeat, unsure why it is doing that.

Basically on the video the actual building is rotating, and it is sitting on top of invisible terrain I did that on purpose as the primary focus is the legs.

As you can see each leg rise and lowers in correlation to the terrain, whilst keep the building itself level.

I did not animate the feet, but if that can be done, great.

Great example and just what I was thinking, only problem is how it might or might not work ingame.. Unless I am mistaken, at the moment we have no examples of a moving part the player stands on, such as an elevator and such.

Wether or not the collision and road geometry would sync perfectly to the moving unit so that varying heights don't cause oddities of floating or sinking through the floor, then we have friction values pending on the slope of the surface amongst a few other things.

Well if my request helps these things to become possible, then all the better. Only if it can be done though.

Damn would be nice to have working elevators in the game.. :O Even if the AI dont use it (or unless they are forced to use it by scripting, that'll be ok)

Hope this becomes possible because on Altis, the legs kinda look like they are floating, as their mesh goes straight into the ground. This goes for all types of metal buildings.

Thinking about my idea (blimey that long ago) transporting the Military Buildings via helicopters using Sling Loading, when lowering it to the ground the legs adjust to the terrain accordingly...
