Well, walking home from school today, I was thinking about Coldstone for some reason, and then I wondered if it would be possible to put a vehicle in a game.

If it is, can the vehicle drive itself? Meaning: player gets in, vehicle goes to pre-determined location. Or, can the player drive it? (Or both?)

The answer 2 all questions ,unless the recent betas horribly disfigured the games integrity and design (aside from turning it real time...you bastards), is yes

Is it possible to make the perspective change when you do this so you can see more. (Like if the vehicle takes up a good portion of the screen when you're walking around will it take up less when ur in it)

p.s. everything else would have to shrink too for the second part.

Creativity emerges from one's inner self.
Therefore one cannot have creativity without first having a soul.

If you want to create downscaled graphics for everything, I don't see why it wouldn't work. As to whether Coldstone supports real-time downsizing of graphics, I doubt it (but may be wrong).

Heh, so I could make a horse and ride it around. It would give me more of a view and allow for different attacks in battle. Also might help my charactor from dying. That would be cool.

and now a moment of silence for those we've lost

:: ... ... ... ... ... ::

I've said this before and i'll say it again all aspects involving a vehicle :
<<all the issues presently bought up about the subject and all future issues>>
are merely aesthetic, the changes are made through the varying of graphics, animation, sound etc.it's no big deal

lets say you have a chracter who rides a horse
when he's off the horse ::

<<you can either have a PC sprite illustrating horse and hero , or two separate sprites one a PC and the horse is a NPC that does not attack and loyally follows the hero>>

when he mounts:

<<at this point you'll probably want to go with a singular sprite epicting both horse and rider that represents the PC, you can do something creative with the horse NPC (that part i'm in the dark about)>>

and when he disounts::

<<go back to 1st example>>

ta-da ...not bad for someone who only has a copy of b8.5... ::dissapates::
