Winch Breaking Question

20.3k MAINE  2.9 years ago

Does anyone know how to make the WINCH actually behave better than a wound up piece of yarn? Seriously? It always breaks under any form of stress or speed manipulation. Let's make it like true steel cable.

So far I have tried this for tweaks with no joy-
disableAircraftCollisions set to TRUE
partCollisionResponse to ZERO
speed "5" (any faster breaks it
Drag & Drag scale doesn't affect it either.

    @Chaka what about like 3 on each side, that should prevent or delay breaking. you can put the winches inside eachother to make it not look weird

    @PPLLAANNEE Well I do have multiple, one on each side pulling the same thing. It's a crossbow. I got it to work but, not exactly how I want.

    @V None = 0 The system automatically changes it to none. It's just faster to type "0" when exiting the XML.

    You could try taking all mass off the winch part if you haven't already, I encountered issues with winches breaking in My Udaloy and found that setting mass to 0 helped.

    partCollisionResponse should be set to None if you dont want it to break
