 Re: Detached attachables being deleted You need a combination of set which MO not to hit and trigonometry.

Re: Detached attachables being deleted I might give the maths a shot later, if the other people in the thread already helping you haven't done it in a period of time. EDIT: Actually, I might give it a shot now. You'd need to change this Code: if secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Left" then
self.secjetL.Pos.X = self.Pos.X - 100;
self.secjetL.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 4;
elseif secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Right" then
self.secjetR.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + 100;
self.secjetR.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 4; To something like this, but with proper syntax (assuming mine's wrong) Code: if secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Left" then
self.secjetL.Pos.X = cos(self.rotation)*-100 + self.pos.x;
self.secjetL.Pos.Y = sin(self.rotation)*-100 + 4 + self.pos.y;
elseif secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Right" then
self.secjetR.Pos.X = cos(self.rotation)*100 + self.pos.x;
self.secjetR.Pos.Y = sin(self.rotation)*100 + 4 + self.pos.y;

Re: Detached attachables being deleted Just use Code: Thruster.Pos = self.Pos + Vector(math.cos(self.RotAngle)*DesiredDistance,math.sin(self.RotAngle)*-(DesiredDistance)); To make 'em rotate around the ship (Replace DesiredDistance with how far you want them to be from the ship), and a RotAngle check on the real thrusters to make them rotate around their own axis. Heck, ninja'd!

Re: Detached attachables being deleted Thanks guys i'll try these out when I get back working on this goddamn thing.

Re: Detached attachables being deleted Oh, and make sure to add the ship's rotangle to the thruster's, or it'll rotate weirdly.

Re: Detached attachables being deleted Ew, math. Code: self.engineoffsetL = Vector(50,23); -- Where do you want the engine to go
self.engineL.Pos = self.Pos + (self.engineoffset:RadRotate(self.RotAngle));
self.engineL.RotAngle = self.shipengineL.RotAngle;
self.engineL.Vel = self.Vel; Info: "self.engineL" should be a pointer to the Lua attached object. "self.shipengineL" is a pointer to the actual ship engine. "self.engineoffsetL" is the offset for the engine. You need to do of those, one for each Lua'd engine.

"self.engineoffsetL" is the offset for the engine. You need to do of those, one for each Lua'd engine. Alright, i'll try that. Also, tell me, is it possible to access the engine's throttle values (When working) and apply them to the extra engines?

Re: Detached attachables being deleted According to the wiki, the property "GetThrottle" is a scalar value that checks the emitter's throttle. Not sure if you can set the throttle value or not.

Re: Detached attachables being deleted So I used this: Code: self.engineoffsetL = Vector(50,23); -- Where do you want the engine to go
self.engineL.Pos = self.Pos + (self.engineoffset:RadRotate(self.RotAngle));
self.engineL.RotAngle = self.shipengineL.RotAngle;
self.engineL.Vel = self.Vel; Except it looks more like this: Code: for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.jet = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.jet.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Engine Left" and self.jet.ClassName == "AEmitter" and self.jet.RootID == self.ID then
self.engineoffsetL = Vector(-100,4);
self.secjetL.Pos = self.Pos + (self.engineoffsetL:RadRotate(self.RotAngle));
self.secjetL.RotAngle = self.jet.RotAngle;
self.secjetL.Vel = self.Vel; Everything seems to be working, but there are 2 issues: 1. DS is unstable as ♥♥♥♥ due to this whole lua attaching (Wasn't unstable with regular attaching...) 2. Secondary jets are drawn under the dropship's wings, don't want that. Need them to be drawn over. Current code: Code: function Create(self)
self.secjetL = nil;
self.secjetL = CreateAEmitter("Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Left");
self.secjetL.Pos.X = self.Pos.X - 100;
self.secjetL.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 4;
MovableMan:AddParticle(self.secjetL);
self.secjetR = nil;
self.secjetR = CreateAEmitter("Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Right");
self.secjetR.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + 100;
self.secjetR.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 4;
MovableMan:AddParticle(self.secjetR);
end
function Update(self)
local curdist = 250;
for secjets in MovableMan.Particles do
local avgx = secjets.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = secjets.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist < curdist then
if secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Left" then
for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.jet = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.jet.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Engine Left" and self.jet.ClassName == "AEmitter" and self.jet.RootID == self.ID then
self.engineoffsetL = Vector(-100,4);
self.secjetL.Pos = self.Pos + (self.engineoffsetL:RadRotate(self.RotAngle));
self.secjetL.RotAngle = self.jet.RotAngle;
self.secjetL.Vel = self.Vel;
end
end
elseif secjets.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Secondary Engine Right" then
for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.jet = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.jet.PresetName == "Heavy Drop Ship Engine Right" and self.jet.ClassName == "AEmitter" and self.jet.RootID == self.ID then
self.engineoffsetR = Vector(100,4);
self.secjetR.Pos = self.Pos + (self.engineoffsetR:RadRotate(self.RotAngle));
self.secjetR.RotAngle = self.jet.RotAngle;
self.secjetR.Vel = self.Vel;
end
end
end
end
end
if (self:IsPlayerControlled()) and self:GetController():IsState(Controller.BODY_CROUCH) then
self.Holding = 1;
else
self.Holding = nil;
end
if self.Holding == 1 then
local detacher = nil;
detacher = CreateMOPixel("Wing Detacher");
detacher.Pos.X = self.Pos.X;
detacher.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y;
MovableMan:AddParticle(detacher);
end
end How fix? Edit: Yeah the whole lua attaching method is really glitchy... Like, really... There must be a way to get it work with regular attaching.

Re: Detached attachables being deleted When you created the emitters in the Create() function you already had a pointer to them. You don't need to get a second pointer to them, that's pointless. (no pun intended)

Re: Detached attachables being deleted What do you mean by the DS being unstable?

Re: Detached attachables being deleted Draw order is also semi-unfixable.
It's a result of the engine automatically drawing actors (and their attachables) over anything that's in the MOSRotating class.
The only (bad) fix is to make each of your pseudo-attachables unhittable Actor-class actors.
Which is not really worth it.
And if it's unstable, then there's something wrong with your position.
