Hi,
I’m building a simple game with tanks…
I made the tracks for them, but when I press P to play, they disappear…
Thath can be easely soved by applying the array and curve modifier…
But the agian, jou cant mouve the tracks to animate them…
Plz help

Modifiers become static within the Game Engine, so you would have to apply them anyway, or they would merely drag your Performance down.
I can do that, but how do I move the track then??
Well, the most common Way to simulate moving Tank Tracks in Videogames is – unto the Day – using scrolling UV’s, like I have one in my Dynamic Cloud Texture (Signature), though you also can find the Original Script for UV-Scroll somewhere here on the Forum.
I’dont want to use any textures in my game, it is supposed to be a smalll and funny game.
I followed this tuorial: http://forum.nystic.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8279, but I can’t move them!!
The only way I see is to constrain your tracks to an invisible surface, only that will cost you some performance. Please stand by for an example!

That could me an option, but it’s not optimal…
I might use it, but does anyone have other ideas??
btw: thx for your example, I really apriciate it!
I finally have decided to create my tracks the same way as in you example…
But do you know how much performance it will cost???
And I don’t really understand how you made it…
An explaination would come in handy…
Once again thx for you effort!
