amphibious ore miner problems

greive · Medic **Joined**: 30 Jan 2007

i have been trying to make the chrono miner amphibious for a map
and i found out how not to make it work 3 different ways

first i tried to take the locomotor and movement zone from
the amphibious transport and it actually went through the water fine
but when i tried to make it return to the refinery it just hovered

second when i tried removeing the hovers=yes tag it wasn't
amphibious anymore but atleast it teleported back to the refinery

lastly i tried removing the teleports=yes and the tele. loco. but again
it just hovered when ordered to return plus it wasnt amphibious

so does anyone know how this might be done or could somebody
help me troubleshoot?

It is possible to make an amphibious harvester. It is done in the mod Mental Omega, made by Speeder. It doesn't hover though, but it can move over water like the Amphibious APC from TS.

You don't have a teleporter tag of any kind, other than the sounds. This would definitely be a problem. You need either the tag, the locomoter, or both. But the locomoter is needed for the amphibious, so you need the tag. Though this might make it teleport everywhere... or is it the teleport locomoter that does that?

All those tags are already attached, skyboy. But no, I unfortunately have no other ideas.
