I'm still working on it and I'm going to change the catapult arm so it looks more like a cup. This catapult is supposed to be fired by people so that is why I have the little lever on the side. When you press on the lever, it fires off a rock and then you have to wait 30 seconds till you can fire it again. No special reason that I made it...

Sorry, but tbh when I see this I think more a contraption to carry a giant's spoon to him/her than a catapult =/

That's probably because there doesn't seem to be anything connecting the spoon to the rest of the catapult =P

The only criticism I can give here is: use some sharper wood textures and rotate them accordingly on the diagonal brushes so that it looks better.

The source for the Helena catapult is around here... Somewhere... >_>

FER made a model out of it, but there's some issues making it work nicely (collision box code seems to be a major issue).

Here it is, tried ot make it look as similar as the original.

Sadly i had the stupid idea of rotating the whole boneset, which somehow screwed the hitboxes. Somebody explained me that it can be fixed by attaching a new joint and delete the hitboxes of the fuxed one.

Here's the post which explained this better link

Well, I dun think it's your fault, so much a limit to how well model collision boxes work under MSC, regardless of how the hitboxes are setup. Seems everything is basically a box, collision-wise, and ye can't really arrange it so you can have parts of a model you can jump on and climb and such.

In any case only catapults meant to be used by the player should be brush based models, while the ones used by the orcs can just be normal models.
