How do i make a helicopter

Umm Hi i want to make a helicopter in my mod, like a vehincle.
i know that i can just make one in hammer but that wont make it spawnable in-game itl only be a prefab...

im not asking for something big just a pilotable helicopter that you can spawn in the game like you can spawn a jeep or airboat

maybe something like this: http://source.gamebanana.com/prefabs/6034
but that its not a prefab ?

The link you posted is a model, I can tell from the screenshot of Hammer as it shows its wireframe mesh . . .

As for coding a fully driveable helicopter, you are going to need to ask more specific questions and build it slowly. What exactly are you stuck on? Have you tried editing any of the existing vehicles yourself?

Sorry, but I doubt anyone is going to hand over complete coding for a flyable vehicle, supposing they have it at all.

You can get pretty far by using a prefab physics object and a couple of phys_boosters. I'd start there.
