Experimental Aircraft Collab

[RA2lover]

@ivanlul: we could use trigonometry instead of stabilizing the altimeter. it's better than tracking the e.pos(1) of an object, you know.

made with paint, but i hope it's understandable
else, if you want to get into the easy way, a gyroscope should do the trick for that.

[blahblah200]

@Ivanlul - Sorry, but I couldn't make better suspension 'cause I am rubbish at Algodoo but if anyone else has good suspension then feel free to post it here!

Btw - can you please update the goals and the scene on the front page - here it is for you -

Hey I'm working on an experimental accelerator machinegun. It has few parts so it's low weight, and almost none of them move, so it can be used easily on your coptor. I think it would be perfect for this. Do you want to use it?

I don't think it works -

DON'T DOWLOAD - TEST!

P.S. Tell me if I got it wrong! I did it like this -

Code: Select all

scene.my.heightground = scene.my.dist * (sin(scene.my.laserang))
//This translates as:
height above ground = length * (sin(angle))

Post it here so we can see what it is like. Thanks!

[Sonic]

Ok well I'm going to need to modify just a tiny bit so that it won't break when you fly it around, but don't worry it'll work.
EDIT: I have two designs, one that's stronger but has some recoil and is less reliable, the other is less powerful but is recoiless and more reliable. I'll post both.

I just found this on Algobox -

Super-sweet scripted gun (Phunlet-sa­fe!)

and I made it into a scene which we can fit onto our V-22 Osprey -

Script Gun (NOT MADE BY ME)

blah blah 200

Filesize: 3.83 kB

so it looks like we might not need your scene after all

@Ivanlul - If we do use this gun, can you add Frank to the list of contributers because he made the gun.

[RA2lover]

Well, you forgot to add the velocity refresher.... and as the plane in its top speed flies faster than the bullets can..... fail.

[blahblah200]

Oops...
I am obviously not good at spawning thyme so can you make it?

[Sonic]

Ok then, I'll find another use for it.

EDIT: for the AGL altimeter, the angle is wrong.

[blahblah200]

For the AGL altimeter, the angle is wrong.

How can I fix it?

[RA2lover]

algodoo's unit for angles is radians, not degrees.

[blahblah200]

algodoo's unit for angles is radians, not degrees.

How do I fix it then?

[davidz40]

360 degrees = 2pi radians

[blahblah200]

Yeah I know that, but still you havn't answered my question - HOW DO I FIX IT

[Ivanlul]

rad - degrees

angle*(180/3.1415926535897932384626433832795028)

I'll reply to everyone's things tomorrow.

[standardtoaster]

Code: Select all

scene.my.rad2deg=(n)=>{n * 180/math.pi}

There, that one is much easier to use in terms of quick use.

[Ivanlul]

Okay guys, this is what I came up with:

V-22 Update

Gun looks good, although reduce the rate of fire and make a good skin for it.

We need to:

• Fit the gun
• Add the wheels
• Make a skin (as you said)
• Make the engine more powerful so it can actually lift the plane/helicopter off the ground vertically

(Just a reminder to myself so I don't forget)

[Sonic]

Actually, while the engine can't get it off the ground, it is strong enough to make it hover in midair and/or give it a little bit of lift.
And by the way, I'm joining the collab.

[Ivanlul]

the engine works for me, try removing the fixate to the background (fixate is on the back).

[Sonic]

I know I did that. I just mean if you drag it up into the air it'll hover there if you turn on the engine.

[Ivanlul]

It still works for me.

[blahblah200]

Sorry, It works now - it was just that my comp froze a bit.
But - is anyone else having lots of lag with it, or is it just me?
