Need help to ignition engine

61.2k Sergio666  2.2 years ago

Hello comrade, I tag you directly because I think you can help me.
Lately I'm learning variables, but I haven't come to understand certain things.
I want to build an ignition system, on a jet engine, that needs to throttle 10% to start the engine, but I don't know exactly how to express the variable, and from the video you posted, I guess you know the expression for the variable. I will be very grateful and I will give you credit in my next publication, I hope you can help me, Greetings

    I think the way i did it was to have another rotator that set it back to the zero position after start up, you’d have to try different things tho because you might want a different behaviour @Sergio666

    Hello again, comrade, I have a new question to solve, I hope I can explain myself well.
    I've recently made ignition systems with variables, I also used the one you told me with the throttle. I'd like to make the stick reset once the ignition sequence is complete, but I imagine it's an XML expression of the throttle itself. I saw something similar in your bf video @CoolPeach

    Thank you very much comrades, for dedicating your time and explaining the variables to me, I think I will be able to apply these variable expressions to my future constructions. If the result is as expected, I will tag you and give credit for these explanations. Very thankful

    @CoolPeach Yes, correct.

    I believe he wants it so in order to start the engine the throttle has to be at 10%, and then it turns on so to speak.
    @PlaneFlightX
    If that's the case, you can simply have a conditional like
    clamp01(Throttle > 0.1)

    10% throttle is too vague
    Do you want the engine to turn on to full power when throttle is > 10%?

    I did watched @PlaneFlightX 's video last month and AFAIK it used the clamp01(SwitchXInput * SwitchY) or a more complicated clamp
