    My Expression Gates seem to be unable to output a vector. First, I just want to make sure I have some things clear with the vector thruster: you can either define the Mul, X, Y, and Z manually, or you can just feed it a Vector, yes? If that's correct then I have no idea whats wrong; even this simple code doesn't work:

    Code:
    N@vector_thrust_PT
    I@Offset_X Offset_Y
    O@Thrust
    Thrust = vector(Offset_X, Offset_Y, 0)
    Thrust shows as a single number in the debugger tool, which I thought might be the magnitude (and the debugger tool just doesn't display the angles/components). But, if I try to pair it to a vector thruster, it gives me the error of Thrust being a normal, and the vector thruster requiring a vector. Any ideas?

    The expression gate vectors is different to that of the vectored thruster. I haven't used the vectored thruster but I can pretty much say for sure that it isn't going to like expression gate vectors. So you'll have to split them I guess.

    (EDIT: Vectors in the expression gate is experimental, and is built on-top of packet support which is also experimental and flawed, the reason you are seeing numbers is because it is the "packet index", basically, all packets are stored in a list and it points out which one it is.)
