OHHHH you mean advanced walkers? its just that you make AW2's pb's display an artificial horizon and it confuses me

I have a tutorial for the script on my youtube channel. it basically makes mechs in space engineers very simple and easy (it will automatically make the walk cycle if you name all the joints and has a bunch of features for tuning and other cool mech related stuff)

I don't remember them ever having a thruster, but they do have vents. The script they use for walking will use thrusters for dampeners and keep them off at all times, and even then the thruster would only activate if you piloted it and pressed space (The script assumes all thrusters are jump jets).
Destiny 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:33am 
but what about the script? you seem to include it on all of your mechs and i have not a single clue why.
DragoF1sh  [author] 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:32am 
yup. thats about it. the same system should work for rovers too
Destiny 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:31am 
i saw a thruster flame in the vid which was interesting
Destiny 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:31am 
good to see you drago! yes it does.

in laymans terms, though, basically, its just: event controller sees its too low, activates gyro override and spin
DragoF1sh  [author] 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:29am 
The stabilization works by detecting if the grid is beneath a certain height. AI blocks will automatically try to level with gravity during movement, but can't override gyros too much. To solve this, I used an event controller to detect when it falls below the height of the raptor standing. When the raptor falls on its side or its back, the event controller is lower to the ground and activates a gyro's override feature. When the raptor is up, the event controller is no longer too close to the ground and disables the gyro override. The override is carefully set so it does not spin the raptor so fast that it falls over again - it spins just enough that it gets up and doesnt lean back onto its other side. The shape of the feet, as well as the tail and little arms also help with stabilization and making sure it can stay standing while walking. Hopefully that answers your question. :)

pretty cool.
sorry for the sudden notif as its been months since the last comment, but im curious as to how you got it to stabilize?
also did automatons really come out such a long time ago? feels like a month.
Centenario 17 Aug, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
pretty much lol - its already there for the most part
DragoF1sh  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 9:16am 
I think it would be classified as a synth

Calling upon the furry masses to turn this thing into a species right now.
DragoF1sh  [author] 8 Aug, 2023 @ 9:17am 
if it breaks, I will just re-design a new one
Nick gaming 7 Aug, 2023 @ 4:47pm

Kudos on the community spotlight!
I'mma see how well it swims in the water mod, lol!
Should be entertaining! :pfff:

you might need a bigger target - luckily I have something in the works..
AsteroidBuggs 19 Jun, 2023 @ 11:16am 
Hmm. This... thing... will make excellent target practice for my gunship! :clang:

Thank you!
I'm sure my gunship will love its new toy. :steamhappy: :steamthumbsup:

I loves thems, I shall name them Mark and I will always greet them appropriately <3
DragoF1sh  [author] 10 Jun, 2023 @ 8:42am 
thanks

Cuteness overloaded! :steamhappy: Congratz, it looks gorgeous! :cleandino: :selike:
Primarinabee 8 Jun, 2023 @ 12:02pm 
That's unfortunate, but understandable. Really annoying that keen says it's "not pay to win" and then makes objectively better blocks available through DLC only
DragoF1sh  [author] 7 Jun, 2023 @ 1:29pm 
that would be hard to make. Without dlc, you would have some loose blocks (nonDLC program block only has 1 connection point), no skins (it would lose the face and techy appearance), and it would just look funny (tail would be blocky, feet would look bulky, no power sensor, etc).
Primarinabee 7 Jun, 2023 @ 11:51am 
I don't suppose you have a version that doesn't use DLC blocks?
Elfi! 6 Jun, 2023 @ 7:43am 
Reminds me of the old Lego technic sets, but even cuter
Azoreth (SPITFYRE) 5 Jun, 2023 @ 10:54am 
i will watch and wait with anticipation, im testing this out in my survival world right now and it is SO CUTE hahah. the little walk it does is :steamthumbsup:
DragoF1sh  [author] 5 Jun, 2023 @ 10:51am 
I can make more pets and animals in the future.
Azoreth (SPITFYRE) 5 Jun, 2023 @ 10:44am 
dude this is sweet, i love it. i want more please
Z|Shad0w 5 Jun, 2023 @ 10:26am 
Ok now I have to get atomatons because primagen in space engineers go brrr
Patrick 4 Jun, 2023 @ 10:58am 
Very cool! I love it! Pro tip: when making a video to show something, move the camera and then stop and wait. The opening where you are "showing" the dragon, the camera literally never stops moving around. Would love to see this cool beat! Also, white text with black outline. Love the interaction you have with this little guy! Very clever!
DragoF1sh  [author] 11 May, 2023 @ 11:13am 
There are already protogens, just not posted and not built by me.
Lillith_Eris 11 May, 2023 @ 7:35am 
ah as it was only a matter of time protogens are starting to emerge also ITS ADORABLE
DragoF1sh  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 10:11am 
also, i will be releasing some more dragons soon (they might also be using the ai blocks)
DragoF1sh  [author] 10 May, 2023 @ 10:10am 
you can attach a cargo container to their back to make them carry stuff for you
Ansh 9 May, 2023 @ 1:55am 
@DragoF1sh can u create a Dronepet like a secound Inventory ?
Ansh 9 May, 2023 @ 1:54am 
I try in Creativ to spawn in my 3D Printer only the Body to see
Witch 8 May, 2023 @ 10:08pm 
This game needs more mods like this! It's more fun running around in SE with a pet companion
Survival Ready 8 May, 2023 @ 2:28pm 
Nice pet! :steamthumbsup:
DragoF1sh  [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 1:20pm 
Glad you like it
MothLord 8 May, 2023 @ 1:10pm 
What a crazy thing to see for Space Engineers, but god it's so cool
DragoF1sh  [author] 8 May, 2023 @ 9:44am 
oh, if you are trying to build it in survival, it will only project the largest grid. Keen has not added a subgrid projection feature into the game yet. There are plugins and mods that can allow you to build things with subgrids in survival.
Ansh 8 May, 2023 @ 2:25am 
Ok dont work i have now Uran i can send a Screenshot
Ansh 8 May, 2023 @ 1:57am 
I have all DLC but maybe i need first Uran i try it :)
DragoF1sh  [author] 7 May, 2023 @ 10:51am 
that may be because of dlc blocks
Ansh 7 May, 2023 @ 6:10am 
Head, tail and Legs not in Blueprint?
admeraltopaz 6 May, 2023 @ 6:57pm 
We need more ai dinos
