Hackable forklift - poland spring - 06-25-2018
Right now all you can do on the forklift is screwdriver it open and cut the wiring out, disabling it. There should at least be some options for speeding it up or impaling people on the tines a la that German safety video. Brighter lights? An evil sentience of its own? Maybe you have to find/make and add modules yourself. Anything! Could just use existing sprites with palette swap for the modules

Should be able to put an AI interface board or a random brain in it.

Yes please I was to be resurrected as a sentient forklift. I will communicate by beeping my horn and flashing the lights.

As a clown main I approve of giving it an AI interface board or even brainable. But what we TRULY need is a clown themed forklift

Forklifts should require a specific permit, like the weapons permit, or else beepsky and the buddies take you on a low speed chase and arrest you for unlicensed forklift operation.
RE: Hackable forklift - Technature - 06-26-2018
Good idea, but Beepsky doesn't recognize people on vehicles so that needs to be fixed first.

other than the obvious of running ppl over and stabbing them, let it be used to lift vending machines and shit and position them to block halls and be a terrible nuisance
chemistry equipment and nanomeds stolen via emagged forklift
RE: Hackable forklift - Frank_Stein - 07-02-2018
Shit I love the idea of the forklift being able to pick up everything, including the stuff that can't normally be moved
RE: Hackable forklift - Wisecrack34 - 07-03-2018
Picking up girders would be cool and useful

How would you update the forklift sprite to show what's picked up?

maybe just make it act like dragging. when moving machinery just drive in reverse and pull it "behind" the forklift, on the forks

Also, if possible, do what happens to the character sprite when you are standing on a chair - raise it by x pixels or something?
RE: Hackable forklift - Frank_Stein - 07-04-2018
Yeah just kinda drag the sprite a bit on top of the forklift and I think we're good to go

For the time being, just have it set you to arrest, and maybe write a ticket or PDA someone.
