Sorry for poor spelling.

Q1. How do you make a vehcile have more then 31 prims?

OK don't give me any chavy answers like "why don't you pay someone?" because i have tried finding someone and failed.

If you give this answer or any similar answers i will personally kill you!

I'm going to assume you meant, "How do you make a physical vehicle over 31 prims?"

The simple answer is, you can't. There is no way to make a linkset of over 31 primitives physical(and this has to include the avatar(s), so make that 30 prims for 1 pilot).

The only way to make vehicles in general that break this limit is to either:
A) Make it non-physical - which move like crap
or
B) Make most of your vehicle an attachment that the avatar wears while sitting on the scripted shell of the vehicle or even just a seat.

Actually Jesrad made a non-physical mover family of scripts. It works well. I've not tried adapting it for a boat, but you can fake smooth movement that way.

But, as you said, most large prim-count vehicles cheat and have most of the prims as an attachment.

could you possibly psot the script or send it to me in second life?

i could have a bash at adapting it like i have adapted everything i have got that needed it(including that rather large cruiser of only 30 prims i built from scratch)

I'm not so sure about that - I have a vehicle that uses 31 prims, not counting the pilot, and I can pilot it just fine.
