Airplanezzzzzzzzz (help)
I am kinda bad at scripting, and i know there are other tutorials out there, but they are all really confusing. How do you make an engine for an airplane?
I know there are those air-friction engines and density engines, and I've built my own that are the exact same, but all they go really crazy. They do not go straight like the others. Please try to keep this simple.

Re: Airplanezzzzzzzzz (help)
I think the simplest thruster one can make is probably a Collision Thruster.
This scene uses the same principles, but uses lasers to make the whole thing a lot more complicated.
- Use four fixated boxes to make a box with a square hole that you can snugly fit a circle in.
- Put two circles in there- both on heteroCollide, one collides with water, one doesn't, and they should be center-hinged together.
- If you're using 1.9.4, select the hinge, find legacyMode, set it to 0. This tells Algodoo to make the hinge weaker, using the old solver. 1.8.5 uses this solver anyway, so if you're using it, ignore this step.
- The circles should not be able to move around in the box.
- Add another box the the top and bottom. These should overlap the top and bottom of the circles a bit.
- Fixate these new boxes to the original box.
- Put both of these new boxes on heteroCollide, one collides with water, one doesn't.
- Both of these new boxes get this code in onCollide:
- Code: Select all
e.other.collideWater = !e.other.collideWater;
e.other.density = controllerAcc
- Go into the script menu, set the top circle's controllerAcc to 0.01; the bottom circle's to 100.
This scene uses the same principles, but uses lasers to make the whole thing a lot more complicated.
Matthias Wandel is epic, in my humble opinion.

Re: Airplanezzzzzzzzz (help)
Thruster ain't gonna make you an aeroplane. You need a main wing + horizontal stabiliser/elevators.
Here's the best collision wings out right now:
Read the scene description to learn how to tune them. If you want other types of wings, these are the best:
Old C-Wing
K-Wing | Phun
K-Wing | Algodoo
Happy flying.

He wanted to make an engine for an airplane, which is what I described.
Besides, you know perfectly well how one can make a perfectly useful and controllable airplane where the engine does double-duty as the wing.
And besides- I haven't figured out how to the C-Wing works. I can make a guess, I know how it gets its thrust, but I haven't managed to make my own version yet.

@Someone Else :
Is it phunlet-safe? I copied it into another scene and not it doesn't work.

Yes I know ... I'm giving him the wings as well as your engine. Thrusters are not going to make him an "Airplanezzzzzzzzz", wings are.

It should be Phunlet safe... Did it work in the first scene? Also, try turning gravity and air off. If it moves, but not very much, set the controllerAcc of the bottom scripted box to 10,000. The bigger the difference between the controllerAccs, the bigger the thrust.

Re: Airplanezzzzzzzzz (help)
u could just make a hollow box, then put a ball spawner at one end, and a killer box at the other.
script for ball spawner:
scene.addcircle(pos=e.pos; radius=0.5; color=[1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0]; density=2.0)
wait, is that right?
