Hey, I had an issue with mechs recently too. They are incredibly difficult. For a two leg mech make sure to have a powerful gyroscope.
The basic leg movement functions are.
Hip joint : sin(Time180)
Knee joint : cos(Time180)
Ankle joint : (inverted) cos(Time*180)
The 180 is used to show the time it takes to step. This can be changed in multiples of 180 (because it’s a glorified sine graph)
And a fair few people use jets to assist the legs as well because it acts kinda like low grav.
Make sure one side is inverted or you have a wriggling mass. The issue with my leg function is that when they stop they always stop doing the splits etc.
Hope this is useful to advance from and finesse in the future.
Ok. Well admittedly it’s a very underwhelming disease compared to its expectation, health officials of: professional doctors, virologist, head pharmaceutical company leaders/ head researches and many many up more health professionals have guess roughly 75.63 million (It might have been 65 but still) deaths, and not pleasant ones, true it is nearly useless against healthy humans, a weakened immune system means coronavirus has a higher ability to infect and kill, so it piggybacks on other diseases attacks, injuries etc. Overall it is unlikely to mass spread but for the very young, very old, injured and ill it could be a death sentence. And it’s not really a pleasant death if it does occur. Gastrointestinal and respiratory inflammation fever etc. And it is airborne.
This seems fitting, you make it sound to harmless, at the end of the day it is still deadly and a death is a death, not everyone if young forever, it’s better to keep clean and try and stop it before it kills even 0.2 percent of the population. Which would add up.
Sorry to down things a bit, but if everyone’s optimistic the problem gets left.
Don’t really have an issue as long as he sells his own creations or gets permission to sell others. Simple planes is a good 3D design software easier to use than design spark or ultimata cura. Plus it attracts attention to the game, the community and will help prolong the games death. (Put bluntly)
@DeidaraEnterprises well the concept of a war is idiotic. the point being is that if both sides weren't idiotic there would be no war. Furthermore if idiots in suits were backed less wars wouldn't occur as much. In simple those who think alike prosper.
I know why you are saying this. I was ios for ages (year and a bit) but mods cant be put on ios because Ios security systems proceed external execution of codes affecting the device as an attack and decline it. In apple t&s they have parts against this modding and the game dev AndrewGarrison has nothing to do with it.
oh, that is tragic, I'm so sorry. Depending on cause insurance will cover it but yeah.
good luck for the foreseeable future.
I hope you and you're family can recover from shock and/or other consequences.
from someone you barely hear about.
@ToeTips I'm afraid I honestly have no idea, I didnt speak much or maybe at all to the builder, and it was years ago, but theres defo a few in the same boat, like every build being like insanely upvoted and they get gold in less than a month
@ToeTips Yeah, in all honesty the people in my golden age of simple planes are mostly all gone at this point, so I feel like its just the life cycle of the site
gotta agree with the flyout slander, simple planes is a better game, beautiful in its simplicity, I love the building tools more than any other game I've played to date due to relative ease of use xml tolerance and inclusion and honestly some of the jankiness in the physics makes it more fun, like ive had way more fun building a harness for the USS tiny to make it go at mach 2, than building or flying any detailed craft. this game is a hub of creativity, and I love that its not even all about planes anymore, cars, helis, mechs, subs, boats, etc etc. I've stuck around for going on 6 years odd for a reason

This is my favourite example I think, what I’d recommend you to do is find a reference of a six legged creature or mech walking, and choosing a selection of keyframes over a single cycle of walking. With these you can find out how far each joint is extended and try to make sure the value is between -1 and 1 but if you want a more uncanny look you can exceed those boundaries.
———————————
From there I like to put it into desmos the online graphing calculator, and I try and find a Sinusoidal graph that repeats every 2pi or 360 degrees. I choose the repetition over this duration because otherwise half of the walk is fine but after a cycle it won’t repeat. This graph is usually a massive amalgamation of lots of sines cosines etc in different amounts e.g. (sin2x+3cos4x)sinx.
———————————
Now the last real thing I can say is to choose a simple multiple of 90 or 180 to multiply by time. The smaller the value the slower it walks, the larger the value the faster it walks.
———————————
I hope this is helpful.
@RodimusRhoamMaximus should do, if you want it to transform with the same joints you might need to add some extra snippets of stuff.
E.g. let’s say it’s legs are tucked away until group six is activated you could use,
(walkingcode)*(Activate6)+(-1)(!Activate6)
This assumes that -1 is a position where legs is tucked, and I could be wrong but I think in funky trees ! Means “not”. I hope this helps and I could explain more if needed
Underwater camera and engines, we’ve got helicopters, cars, planes, rockets(sorta), etc etc. the only real thing we’re missing is submarines and underwater.
the ai needs an update or at least a few new parameters
+2oh wow Andrew's here!

+2@Inviticus agreed, dark mode is infinitesimally better
+2Thanks! @Evenstsrike333 @Feanor
+2@Gestour hahaha thats an issue
+2"Axartar is following 660 players"
Wow. I never understood walkers and I thought I got a bit of understanding on funky trees (now I doubt that). This is an amazing build! Well done!

+2Oh so basically autopilot is naff and whichever car is driven by autopilot loses.
+2Sounds about right. Lol
TREASON
They both cool games though I’m not a fan of sr2 building mechanics though
+2nice shape, works well

+2ok enjoy your holiday!
+2Well done.lol I need to start actualy using multiplayer
+2oh god I cant draw for £$%^
+2Thanks for all the updoots @ViridiCinis
+2What’s the worst glitch you’ve experienced in simple planes e.g. 0.1x0.1 parts duplicating way to many times @Dllama4
+2oh, that is tragic, I'm so sorry. Depending on cause insurance will cover it but yeah.
+2good luck for the foreseeable future.
I hope you and you're family can recover from shock and/or other consequences.

Who says art can’t be found everywhere
+2@BaconRoll lol then the disappointment lay in
+2Thanks @TUNDERTEAM @Feanor @JamesBoA
+2@TUNDERTEAM ok
+2send it to britain urgently heatwave here. I hate summer
+2Yep also people who upload someone else’s builds annoy me just straight up copies not even a paint job change
+2100k-89.9k = 10.1k
+210.1k * 15 = 673.333 recurring @flyingsteve88
update above :D
+2@belugasub @USSR @RailfanEthan
+2@WhyAreWeHere @ChiyomiAnzai @TrueSlav
+2Thank you so much I’m planning on upgrading it soon @communisticbanana & @TheAmericanPilot
+2Sounds like average school kids you forgot pranks gone wrong accidentally killing themselves
+2Airport lol
+1@KSB24 fingers crossed, and tysm dude the support is great
+1happy bday
+1cant wait for the new ComplicatedPlanes
+1@ToeTips I'm afraid I honestly have no idea, I didnt speak much or maybe at all to the builder, and it was years ago, but theres defo a few in the same boat, like every build being like insanely upvoted and they get gold in less than a month
+1@TinyMaus thats honestly great to hear, awsomur and his newspaper shoutouts helped build me up and get me to where I am, good luck with all of this
+1@TinyMaus Also, just wanna say seeing this is cool, like its the next generations of simple planes news reporting which is cool to see @Awsomur
+1@ToeTips Yeah, in all honesty the people in my golden age of simple planes are mostly all gone at this point, so I feel like its just the life cycle of the site
+1@ToeTips yeah thanks dude, I'm starting a my uni so I'm busy, I'll still probably check by the website but nothing crazy
