e2 ApplyForce Stabilization Help

[Dr. Breen]

Im not sure if this is the right section to post help for e2 problems, so if not, then move this if you want.

Ok, so heres the e2...

@name fighter test
@inputs 
@outputs 
@persist 
@trigger 

runOnTick(1)
Temp=entity(),Entity=(Temp:getConstraints():count( ) >0 ? Temp:isWeldedTo() : Temp)

Angle=-Entity:angles()*15-Entity:angVel()*2
Center=Entity:massCenter(),Right=Entity:right(),Fo rward=Entity:forward(),Up=Entity:up()
Entity:applyForce((vec(0,0,18)-Entity:vel())*Entity:mass())
Leverage=Entity:inertia():length()

Entity:applyOffsetForce( Up *Angle:pitch(),Center-Forward*Leverage)
Entity:applyOffsetForce(-Up *Angle:pitch(),Center+Forward*Leverage)
Entity:applyOffsetForce( Up *Angle:roll() ,Center-Right *Leverage)
Entity:applyOffsetForce(-Up *Angle:roll() ,Center+Right *Leverage)
#Entity:applyAngForce(Angle*Leverage) #This can replace the above 6 lines

The problem is: the sentence (Entity=(Temp:getConstraints():count() >0 ? Temp:isWeldedTo() : Temp) I dont need this part of the code because it causes the game to lag when I spawn the e2 on tremendously welded/parented contraptions. Is there anyway to get rid of that one code but still allow the e2 to work? Thanks.

P.S I did not make this code, as some of you may find out. I, assuming this was on the Gmod Wiki for all to find, downloaded it assuming that anyone was allowed to download the code if credit was given to the original creator (chinoto)

Entity = entity():isWeldedTo()

[Dr. Breen]

omg thank you so much. ill be sure to give u a little credit if i ever decide to release my contraption to public

But what's the difference between "isWeldedTo()" and "isConstrainedTo()"

Where it says replace the previous six lines, do that. You're using a lot more ops than you need to calling applyOffsetForce four times. You can also increase the runOnTick to 10 or even 100, it doesn't make much of a difference but will decrease lag as well.
isWeldedTo simply looks for welds and ignores other constraints, while isConstrainedTo would give you something that it's no-collided to, for example.

It won't decrease lag, there's no difference with runOnTick(). runOnTick(1) is the same as runOnTick(1337).

You can also increase the runOnTick to 10 or even 100, it doesn't make much of a difference but will decrease lag as well.

runOnTick(n) just looks for a true or false value, it doesn't matter what the heck it is - as long as it isn't false/invalid/zero/null, the E2 will be triggered every tick.

Not all constraints are welds. If the only constraint on an entity is an axis constraint, isWeldedTo() will return noentity.
