PID controller - what is it and how to?

[Xgraver]

How could i add clamp to it, so it would travel at lower but constant speed?

[Fizyk]

The easiest way would be to make the PID for velocity instead of position, and then set it for the desired speed.

Or you could just clamp the out value:

E:applyForce( clamp( Out*E:mass(), vec(-N,-N,-N), vec(N, N, N) ) )

Where N is the max absolute value.

[Fizyk]

This won't work if there is no air resistance But yeah, since there is air resistance on most servers, it will work, though you will have to find the proper N value by experimenting.

Can you change the code in the first post to [code] instead of [highlight]? Highlighting seems to be broken and it is REALLY hard to see the code.

[Fizyk]

Oh right, thanks for the reminder.

Sorry for necromancing, but I want to know a formula for getting the GainP GainI and GainD. Dont want to have to use trial and error all the time :P.
