Can you use that gravity block as a engine in vanilla or is this done using a mod?

Dr.Evil 22 Jul, 2019 @ 10:54pm

Могу скинуть скрипт с моей добавкой, если хочешь)
I can send your sript with my add, if you want)
There is one issue with this add'on. Script can`t update gravbullet (new welded) while ship moving sideways. if it's stays or moving Z axis everything works fine)

Cruel Sun [author] 8 Jul, 2019 @ 5:12am

@Dr.Evil It's interesting.

I`ve added GunMode to your script, to use Gravity engine forces fo speed up bullets with AM or juck form connectors (second often off to deal damage on many servers)

Chaos 5 May, 2019 @ 10:36am

okay, thanks!

Cruel Sun [author] 5 May, 2019 @ 10:30am

Yes - run it as parameter

Chaos 5 May, 2019 @ 10:24am

I assume I run the progblock with command of gOff? or is that set in custom data of the progblock?

Cruel Sun [author] 5 May, 2019 @ 10:21am

О Sorry, about gyros, at now is you can only set active and not active mod for all. When you using a GearBox, all works correct, in manual WSAD mode gyroscopes has blocked for you dont have a problem with the Center of mass. You can use gOn, gOff, gOnOff to try it without.

Chaos 5 May, 2019 @ 10:08am

and what about gyroscopes? thanks for the quick reply

Cruel Sun [author] 5 May, 2019 @ 10:06am

If you want to have other purposes generator - add Space to Name like " Gravity Generator", in this case it ill be used only when the Engine not acting. If you want to have generator as always on, add - , Like "-Gravity Generator"
