Gots a script question

[Pomerjon]

Not sure where to post this so Ill start here. I was just wondering if there is a was to make the script change for a object by pushing a key while the sim is running? Ex. have an object with little to no air friction dropping then hit a key to give the object 1,200 air friction.

Firstly this belongs in the thyme section
Secondly yes it easy.

Step one:
open up the console ~
Type in

Code: Select all

scene.my.airfrictionmult := 0

Step two:
get the object in airfrictionmult type in

Code: Select all

{scene.my.airfrictionmult}

Step three
make a laser make it face a box set it's activation button to what ever you want (I would recommend enter) and in onhitbylaser type

Code: Select all

(e)=>{scene.my.airfrictionmult = scene.my.airfrictionmult = 1200}

Easy as pie.

Im pretty new at this. So how do you open the console. And what Im trying to accomplish is i made a car with an ejector seat and then added a parachute to the seat, but since the 5 blocks that make up the chute have 1200 air friction the seat gets messed up leaving the car. So soon as i find out how to change the airfric ill have to get a laser to point at all of them after they deploy from the seat right?

There are two ways to open up the console either press the ~ key (it's above "Tab") or simply press f11.
I've made that a simple as possible without having to upload pictures.
