Hi i'm Marius

I've got a question on modding a flying entity like a bird. I would like to know if it is possible to make such entities that can walk and fly. Because i haven't seen any mods do this before. Only the critter's pack by Chiappo, Razgriz and crumps. Made birds that fly and walk. The thing with this is that they are separate entities so a flying bird would never land nor would a walking bird lift off.
I've been working on creating my own mod which adds geese. And I've created a good looking model with I would like to say quite realistic movement. I only don't have any experience with coding though I would love to learn and I've taken the next step by downloading the needed software. I'm very passionate about this project and I would love to make this a real mod some day. I would love to get some advise

I'm going to post behind spoilers in case you've not played through the main game, but there is at least one vanilla entity that exhibits the kind of behavior you're wanting to create. You might try looking up that entity's code and using that as a reference. 

Spoiler

The Mad Crow, otherwise known as Erel, is a large mechanical bird that serves as the boss of the Devastation Tower for the story's second chapter. While it mainly flies around, it can divebomb the player, landing on the Tower briefly before going airborne once again.

Unfortunately that's about the best advice I can give.

Thanks for the reply, I haven't gotten to that part of the game yet 😅. But I do know of it's existence. There is also another entity but this hasn't been implemented into the game yet which is the hawk. You can find it's texture and shape file in the assets folder. together with the chickens. They might have wanted to implement this type of bird some time ago it looks really old and the animation isn't that well done but it has a lot of them at least. They probably abandoned the idea. The model is the same for the statue you can find somewhere which is a part of the game i haven't played yet either.
