How do I make a rotator stable?

26.5k Hiimakeplanes  11 months ago

It keeps moving around when I don’t want it to, it is never stable. Turrets are impossible to make

    @PlanariaLab ah ok I somewhat get it now, so basically you can make any part heavy as long as the turret is lightweight with the rotator having weight as well as long as its connected to a section of the cockpit

    @MrShenanigansSP
    To be precise, rigid body groups are divided according to parts that move, such as rotators.
    This means that you can increase any of the parts as long as they belong to the same section as the cockpit.
    The important thing is to lighten the weight towards the end sections.

    Use a control base, they're rotators without the headache

    @PlanariaLab wait increasing mass on the cockpit part helps with the rotators? Never knew about that

    @PPLLAANNEE it still does the spin thing even if I make the thing it is rotating not weight anything

    increase the mass of the rotator or decrease the mass of the parts the rotator is trying to rotate

    q1: what kind of "stable" are you talking about?

    Image previously sent to others.
    terminal parts could be with massscale=0.

    It might be with the rotators damperMultiplier probably. Just make an xml input called "damperMultiplier" and set the value to 10000. If it doesn't work you could try to take apart other ship builds

    how to solve a problem:

    step 1:
    identify the problem

    step 2:
    study the problem

    step 3:
    try a method you know

    step 4:
    if it doesn't work, do either:
    - look into people's builds and see how they do it
    - ask

    step 5:
    profit
