Is this hardcoded?

[DavidP]

Ok heres the situation i'm interested in making a model of the chinook as a "Heavy Transport Chopper" So i wanna be able to fit 14 people in total, But being 8+ seats on any vehicle hard coded my idea was simple cut it into a 3 part vehicle which moves as one, What i mean is i want to make a cockpit area that hold a pilot and co-pilot, A mid area with it's own doors on each side holding 1 squad of 6, And a back area with a door like the merlin holding another squad of 6.

What i wanna know is can i split a vehicle into different parts but make it move as one?

(Please no sarcastic or dumbass replies)

But this will be different.

1. The model moves as one and to avoid collisions i would shrink the hitbox so they never touch just the visible parts of the model do and give the illusion of one solid object when looked at.

2. To keep the hitboxes from colliding with each other in midflight i would make it a .2 second delay between each parts hitbox moving and one cant move unless the other one has.

3. Most importantly if none of these work well my other idea might work but it wont be as "Smooth" as this one.

What about changing the health of vehicles to infiniti or something? I bet that's hard coded to =/.
