Wave machine

A large contraption that creates powerful waves in a thin sheet of panels, yeah idk what you would use this for either. Very bouncy though

How to use

Spawn it as an AI and drive or fly to the control panel. I wanted to be able to use any build to drive on it so I made it AI spawned. It includes 3 ramps to be able to get on the waves from different angles. Since it is AI controlled putting it on an uneven surface might make it start adjusting the control panel itself.

There are 4 yokes. 2 to increase and decrease the wave amplitude and 2 to increase and decrease the wave frequency. Push in each yoke to do the corresponding action, Pulling out the yokes doesn't do anything.

Some of the yokes like to stay pushed in and just keep increasing the frequency or amplitude so pull each yoke back to its original position after pushing them in.

Using the control panel, watch how the waves change behavior as I adjust the values

    @TheMouse what if you scaled the boat down and positioned the camera so you couldn't see any land?

    Cool! I wonder (if you had a nasa computer) if you could resize this to make it look like an actual ocean, and then run your boats on it, for screenshot purposes.
