So I'm creating a tank, and I'm now creating an exhaust, When I pitch back the smoke comes out but when I pitch up smokes doesn't come out, i want my nozzles to smoke when I pitch up, I keep inverting the Blasto Vtol, But it's still the same, How can I do it
@ZeroWithSlashedO Ok it moves, Imma experiment on it more
@Mrgoofy
you're supposed to be putting that code only on the blasto vtol though
@ZeroWithSlashedO Why isn't my tank moving???!?!
I've set the power my engine power to 20 And put it to abs(Pitch) I've also done the same to my Blasto Vtol
@Mrgoofy
I'm not really sure how I could simplify it more but here we go
basically the engine is only able to be operated in one way, not two ways
and since it's only be able to be operated in one way, only pitch down activates the engine, and not pitch up
to counteract this, put
abs(Pitch)
on the input so the engine turns on regardless of whether you pitch up or down@ZeroWithSlashedO please simplify it
@ZeroWithSlashedO I'm too dumb to understand this
one reason is because the engines only support one sided input, which means it'll only pick up the positive value of the input, and not the negative
and since pitch down is positive pitch input, it only picks up the input from the pitch down
one way to fix this issue is using
abs(Pitch)
as the engine inputwhat
abs(x)
does is it turns every value except neutral or 0 of whatx
is to a positive valueso for example, if you pitch up 0.1 times the max value, it doesn't output the value as -0.1 (which is what it does without
abs(x)
) but rather as 0.1
