Slow Fall

[Starius]

Does anyone know how you use the wire mod to make a 4x4 floor piece of floor or anything and when you drop it from the sky make thrusters even/level it out and slow its decent or even make it hover above the ground???

anyone?

Not sure. I've been too busy fix'n stuff to do much building.

Well without the obvious answer of using hoverballs, you can do a ranger / forcer or ranger / thruster combo, I personally havent tried it myself but next time im on I will whip one up and report back to ya.

yes thats rather simple.

4 speedometers and one gyroscope, disable XYZ split and put that value into an add component, you should now have 4 add components on each corner of a flat piece. Now wire the pitch and roll of the gyroscope to the thrusters so that the thrusters react to pitch roll to flatten it out. Put the thrusters A to the add component.

Now remember that since we don't have a delta yet this will have some wobbling problems unless you tweak it.

You beat me to it. D:

I say have a speedometer attached to a comparison chip, then attached to thrusters.

you need one speedometer

a constantvalue with the speed you want to fall in

a greater port

and 4 thursters

I accidentally found that a forcer can be used to create slowfall.

eld 2 large plates like this with a forcer in between (use the stacker stool to do it right)

=============== a large phx plate
********^ forcer
=============== another large plate

Increase the force till you get the desired effect.


I'm working on an engine based entirely on forcers. I'm also adding negative value support too (with a +/-0.1 dead zone).
