How does the hitbox on this work? Hit the torso and feet?
Basic weapons training... aim for center mass.
Good advice on vehicles. I'd like to add to this about nodes tho. I've been coaching people to aim for the ground just before the node. I've spected so many people aim dead center for the node bubble X at the top. They miss completely and shoot an air-ball without any damage to anything. I liken it to when golfing, shoot for the cup, but not to overshoot the green.
It's almost there! I still need to play test it a lot and test net code. Also need to add them to a map properly to test the custom vehicle factories. They are too big and the regular vehicle factories don't work. For testing I hack them into the map via mutator.

There are four now. Not sure what to call these.
Rocket Mech
Flak Mech
Link Mech
Shock Mech
Ideas?
Those look great, I'm pumped! That shock mech will be devastating!
As far as names, I think what you have works well. They're not super exciting but they're to the point, easy to learn, and most importantly easy to call out in-game... "Flak mech coming to node 5"
You want some help with those sounds? I'm chomping at the bit to enhance those a bit. I can definitely make them sound more "giant". Otherwise if you like them then that's cool too. You're the artist!

Sure! Here are the sounds. It doesn't always sound the same in game, where the engine is turning those mono samples into 3d sounds.
The 'EngIdle' sound is the primary sound. It's played all the time at various pitches depending on what animations are doing. The step sound was sampled straight from robocop, then doubled up and processed a bit. The EngStart/EngStop is a random sound clip.
The other sounds are the existing weapon sounds but played at a lower pitch to sound bigger. Those should probably stay.
Bonus points for multiple sounds The mechs don't all have to sound the same.

Is it possible to make it so when you do a dodge jump they backpack rocket boost into a much bigger jump and maybe descend a little slowly as the rockets shut off? Not sure if you're doing a dodge jump in the video, but looks a little wonky if you are. Would be a bit of a different dynamic and movement with a bigger but slow descending jump.

It doesn't have dodge/double jump. Only single jump. It's a vehicle so it jumps like the vehicles do e.g. manta. Maybe a future update will have double jump or e.g. jump jets. That would be fun.
