Dock bay doors sur

Vital

I wonder if there’s a way to make baydoors the only part of a base that has surs. So that you could fly through the station, but not through the baydoors?

I need it for my idea about destructible bases.

Of course - make a small sphere anywhere and call it root, and then just clad the doors only.

Easy, no? ;D

Check out one of the dockable vanilla FL dreadnoughts that has them.

Easy, no? Grin

Easy? no, not for me for now at least, have no idea how to.

Anyway I have to test the idea itself, and after I’ll ask you how to in-detail(though it may won’t be a need 'cos of OPerator’s findings).

Nice to here it’s possible.

Erm, wouldn’t you want the entire bay to have a SUR? Methinks it would be odd just having the doors with collision. The bay should’nt be overly complex to model and make a sur for.

Though, if you’re making something for cap ships, I guess I can see the possible collision problem.

The only issue is that all the SURs I’ve seen have a Root. Root cannot be a sliding / rotating part. So you’d need one point some where out of the way to assign Root to for it’s small sur. Then you could have the only other two parts with collision be the doors.
