Take To The Skies

Adds a hot air balloon vehicle to ARK.

This mod currently adds a craftable hot air balloon. The hot air balloon can be learned at level 30, costs 10 engram points and is crafted in the player inventory. It supports rider mounted weaponry, up to 4 passenger slots, inventory storage, 5,000 health and 2,000 weight. It controls similarly to a Tapejara so it has elevation/strafing controls(x/c/a/d). It can also land and move on water surface. The hot air balloon moves slowly for balancing reasons but more flying vehicles will come in the future with different speeds and functions! The goal of this mod is to add several different types of modern and primitive flying vehicles with their own unique features over time.

As this is version 1 of the mod, there will be some issues and a lot of testing needs to be done.

Future Plans: More flying vehicles Ability to colorize/paint Driver pose/animation Fuel consumption Model, material, and stat tweaks Some sort of death animation/destructable mesh Optimization

Known issues: The hot air balloon has a dino level of 0 attached - this will be removed once I figure out how. Landing on water is a bit strange in the sense that you actually have to fly into the water vs hitting space bar to land like you would on ground - this functions correctly in the dev kit but not in-game and will be fixed once I figure it out. Blank UI icon - this will be added in a later phase.
