Stefan Please Answer: Question About Boats

Hey this is for Stefan or anyone who knows the answer.
First off before I ask let me explain. I dont like how the boats since there is only one graphic, dont really turn,
if you move left its like they just strafe and move sideways but always face down. So I am attempting to make boat graphics for all the directions. Also I might make a dustari boat for like a royal navy or somethin so I must ask htis question.
Is the boat actually one graphic.
Or is like the sail a seperate graphic and using scripting it stays connected but its a seperate graphic so it can be a part that actually blocks the player and cant be walked on. Cus if it was all one graphic wouldnt you be able to walk on the whole thing wihtout part blocking you. Or finally is it scripted somehow where you can specify which x y coordinated block the person, are drawn under or over them etc...
I need to know this becuase I need to know if i should make the boat all one graphic and tell you which parts block or if I should make a whole bunch of different graphics that get scripted so they stay connected. Also is there anyway to make the boats have cannons lol. Could I make cannons on hte boat and tell you to script it so if you touch/pull/hit/command the cannon then it shoots. Ok hope i get an answer soon thanks in advance

Yup.

I've still not figured out how to operate them =/ Mainly because I've not been on one. ;)

I've never actually figured it out, i've tried but its weird.

Well I need to found out cus i really wanna make these,
i already started but i need to know how they work so i can make them. I wanted them to have a graal look so im making the boats out of graal tiles and then taking a screenshot and copying the boats into their own image

That would make them ugly.

Not uh they look more in place if they look like there from graal tiles, i mean i could just get pictures from a different game or gt a real l337 graphic but it wouldnt fit the graal atmosphere
