Spinning rotors in Tiberian Sun

I've heard it's impossible, but I don't really see why it can't be done. Basicly you just have the rotors as a separate voxel, and give it an animation in the recently released HVA builder. I don't really know how to do it myself, I just know it should work #Tongue

You can't play an anim while on the move in ts.............

Making a chopper just like the RA2 with the proper animations in the hva file doesn't do the trick, in TS the rotors are stuck (IF the unit is an aircraft, if it's a ground unit of course)

Is there not a TurretSpins= tag that you can use?

Airunits are not allowed to have turrets.
It must be a multi-sectioned voxel.

Ok, what about using jumpjet then?

See the research center for a LONG discussion abou that... and summing it up, if you wanna use jumpjet loco, the rotors DO work, but it'll have to get out of the Warfactory, it'll be invincible, and wont see anything..

Suppose I'll just use rendered helicopter SHPs.

Well I don''t think that would work either but I may be wrong. So far only way I've seen a helicopter work was a hover unit with the rotor as a turret.

could you make a voxel with sections where each section has the rotor in a different place (but still attached to the heil) then put them all into a HVA.
