Santa Mobile 3000

The ultimate Flying Sleigh finally arrived!

**T'was the night before Christmas** And Santa is late. Fortunately now he can count with **Santa Mobile 3000**! Designed to overcome the most difficult and demanding situations, whether they are traveling halfway around the world or defeat the damn snowmen who dare to cross his path! Aided by a mega engine capable of levitating itself powered by magic and a fearsome gun that fires snowballs nothing can stop Santa from bringing a happy expression to all those children who are anticipating this special season! And best of all! It doesn't require reindeers, which makes it very sustainable over time!

This is my Prefab entry for The Christmas Triple-Design Contest

And now seriously. I had some interesting ideas for this contest, many actually. Including a portable firing snowball machine and a "fantastic" drivable Santa Sleight. What I did was taking both ideas and craft them into this sleight of the future. I tried to make it viable. Not just flying brushwork, and so I added some fancy effects to it, including particles, and even a trail that follows the Sledge leaving a golden effect where is passes. But that's just some extras I wanted to include.

In case you missed it, its a drivable. And I've worked a lot on it to make it functional. Unfortunatly since the engine isn't made for this kind of stuff it leads to some problems, which I tried to overcome but some are just either impossible or not worth the time to fix because it can lead to more problems.

Anyhow, the Sleight works perfectly 100% in single player, and I've exaustly tested it with some people (thanks to them) and received lots of feedback.

SOME FEATURES:

  • Drivable

  • Particle systems

  • Spritetrails

  • Shootable

  • Sound efects

CONTROLS:

  • To drive this boy, you press E on the front part of it, it will instantly parent you to it and you won't be dropped off until you press "E" again or jump to get out.

  • If you are drunk, you might wanna get on the back part of the Sledge and let your friends drive for you. Theres space for 2 passangers in the back.

  • [W] Move forward

  • [A] Turn left

  • [S] Move backwards

  • [D] Move right

  • [Mouse 1] Shoots snowballs

  • [Mouse 2] Lifts up

I know what sometimes causes the crash, thanks to Kaemon. Its when the round ends while someone is parented to the Sledge. Which unfornatly for me has no solution but I decided to upload it anyway hoping for someone to come up with a possible fix. This can still be some sort of a "base" to work with in case you don't know much about thrusters, which I had to "re-learn" to create this.

DOWNLOAD INFO In the download file you'll find 2 diferent versios of this prefab, one allows shooting, the other one doesn't. For both versions I included the VMF & BSP, in case you'd like to test it yourself or just chill shooting at walls.

I hope you enjoy this little something, I wish you a Merry Christmas and happy new year.

    hi i have work long time with vehicles and you cant parent player, it will crash the server when you have more then 2 player. They have not fix this bug for CSS. For shooting change the snow model to snowmanhead.mdl. And for enventity_maker change PostSpawnSpeed to 99999 so bullet dont hit your vehicles when you drive. Ore i can make fix and send you if you want.

    I've been looking for a way around it, damn I wish they fixed this.

    The only thing that really irked me about this is the use of "Santa Sledge". The correct word is "Sleigh". Sledge is like, Sledgehammer. Sleigh is pronounced SLAY.

    And shame on you commenters who continued the use of the word "Sledge". It's "Sleigh", dammit.

    w00t, sorry and thanks for correcting me. I'm not english and my vocabulary isn't very extensive. Thanks again, gonna fix that.
