    @17yearsold this code is outdated

    sum(Throttle) is what you need, just make sure to set min and max to -0.5 and 0.5 respectively then you can set rotator speed to whatever you like.

    i tried it but it ended up spinning forever even on 0% throttle🤣

    Why are there still gas ran planes?

    @AerialFighterSnakes I could try.

    Cool. You should make a coaxial propeller plane.@CenturiVonKikie

    i personally prefer ones with sound... nice technique though

    @AerialFighterSnakes oh no they didn't make electric engines, I just used their new funky trees input functions to make rotators behave like throttleable motors.

    This would be rlly useful for making custom wheel rims

    @edensk oh my friggin God LMFAO yes it is!! I hadn't realised this! Way to make a simple equation much simpler!

    @nadvgia if I do that the propellers will begin to oscillate back and fourth, resulting in a lack of thrust.

    Also the rotators don't free spin when input is let go which is why they stop so suddenly, though I'm sure there's some equation to make them free spin when there's no input.

    I haven't messed with the sum() function yet, but isn't the +sum(0) part kinda useless?

    Interesting 👍 but the props movement stop too quickly. Have you tried to increase the max value to smooth it?
