This looks amazing, but, Can thrust vectoring work with hinges???? Like aircraft Thrust vectoring, where the thruster's hinge follows you mouse in a way, where if you pull up, the hinge can vector down so the thruster gives you lift to make you go higher, and same with downward, i can't really explain it other than Su-57, Su-27, F-22A, Thrust Vectoring, if there are not any scripts that accomplish this, i understand, but would be a cool thing to see.

Could you rename the first line "Maintained Version" to something like "This is old. Follow this link to a maintained version instead!" Because currently it looks like a heading saying _ this here is_ a maintained version.

No, the thrust only needs to be on the subgrid controlled by the rotor, i.e. the same grid as the rotor head.

does the thrust have to be directly touching the rotor? if so is there a way around this?

@LeoBlackburne
The title: [old]
First line in the description: Link to a maintained version.

Is this script still receiving support from the author?

this mod is amazing because i have been needing a system for a VTOL for soo long but i couldn't find one and now i have one to make my heavy assault Drop ship with

i have problems with 4 engine vtol....they simply dont want gain altitude someone can say if that work with 4 engines pointing to down ?(its a small cargo ship with 4 engines facing down )

Make sure you set the cockpit to Main cockpit else the script will get buggy

Good work. Thank you.

Hi! I am the new mantainer of this script, I released a definitive version.
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2831096030
Go check it out!

我试图在我的矢量引擎上安装左右方向引擎，但是它无法被识别也无法被启动，你能解决这个问题么？我认为无论转子如何旋转，它的指向应该是唯一的。 https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830310997

@Lord Death Pyro also any chance you could share your version with me?

@Lord Death Pyro I don't think he would mind if you published your own version of this script as a few people have already done that. It would be real nice to see this script get the love and attention it deserves.

is it possible to set a rotor angle for the nacelles to return to when it is in standby?

I am loving this script. Thx.

Hey I love this mod!! Was wondering if there was a way to get it to work with the Offset Forces mod by Digi? Have been trying to get them to work together but I just seem to spin out the the thrusters on rotors don't accomodate for the new offset thrust. Is there a possible way to incorporate the two togethers?

so im trying to low the rotation spin of the nocelles. is there a way of doing it?

hello can you fix the dampanors pleas when i diss conect wy ship it dus not work at all its like the dampanors r off r thay off when you poot the scriped in if not it drifs to

Hi, I was watching part of your code and I found a workaround to use it with as much nacelles and in space, I added a custom configuration through Custom Data, a way to personalize the thrusters outside of the rotor ones depending of the use and some bugfixes as well.

Contact me to push this update please, I think that with the "small grid advanced rotor" update some people will find useful this script.

Would it be possible to make a StarWars style pod racer with this script?
As in two engine nacelles that can rotate independently on the Y axis.

The 'pod' would be connected to each nacelle via a pair of rotors (attached to the left and right pod) and a hinge attached to the top of the engine nacelle.

A camera, or series of cameras, could be mounted on the bottom of the pod, to compute the distance from the ground and Decrease thrust the higher the pod is from the ground.
(Eg Get Lower to go faster. )

Just an idea at the moment, not sure if it is possible to implement due to in-game scripting limitations.

wont align with gravity while moving forward

Is there a way to make it only adjust for Gravity? Because I dont want it trying to make me move forward or anything

This is a Ingame Script , no world Script...

i cant even get the script in the mod section of main menu to put it into the world im subscribed

Rotor on a rotor is possible. Check the description, it says how to make it work.

Not with this script in my experience, I've seen others that handle multiple axis but their are a few trade offs on it working.

Hello is it possible to use 2 rotors for directional thrusters. So like the thruster can move to face any directions on 2 axises rather than 1.

too bad the script is no longer uploaded to the game

does it work with wheels

try pressing X to activate thrusters

Even with tags and greedy set to off, I"m finding that for some reason other programmable blocks with different copies of this script are triggered by undocking one or toggling standby.

my thrusters wont turn on

@Nox
Make sure you're close enough to the surface of the planet for atmospheric thrusters to work if those are what you're talking about.

is it possible to make thrusters really work? They dont work fully powered

Hi ! I have a questio, for anyone who would know. I tried making a 4 nacelles airship, however controling the nacelles is very wierd, the front two won't reverse, and the two at the back keep on trusting in reverse, meaning the ship cannot move properly. anyone has an idea ?

Script doesn't run at all, I've recompiled, checked code and the whole works and it doesn't work at all. How does one fix it?

any idea why the vectored thrust tries to stop me from going up? or if im in the vertical cockpit, forward

@Coolbeans the script by default accelerates with up to 1g max acceleration so 10m/ss on earthlike. If you have extra thrust it's by default only used by braking and stabilisation, not for your manual input. Use the %*accel commands to set proper amount, you need to experiment with your build to see what's stable. Also, it seems it takes planet's gravity as a baseline, so on moon that 1g will be just 2.5m/ss

@Beerson
Please share with us the script you have written that is better then this one?
Who and/or what are you exactly calling "frankly dumb"?
Read the manual hhherperdeerrp

So im finding that whenever i apply thrust in any direction its not using full thrust, but when i stop it uses full thrust to slow down, I know this because it takes a while to get going but slows down very quickly. Anyone know how to fix this?

Anyone knows which part of the code is keeping thrusters off and how to safely yeet it? The script is pretty good, even tho it's wobbly and doesn't hover well, but the part that keeps thrusters off makes it nearly unusable and is frankly just dumb

lol i found the solution after writing the first comment.
If you have same trouble with controls, i can recommend you change this string in code (line# 510)
from
requiredVec -= -1 * normalThrusters .WorldMatrix.Backward* normalThrusters .CurrentThrust;
to
requiredVec -= -1 * normalThrusters .WorldMatrix.Forward * normalThrusters .CurrentThrust;

it works pretty well for my ship.
But would be perfect if someone say something about this problem. Because another my ships works nice with vanilla script version and don't have described issue

I have an issue with my ship.
When i try to move forward by pressing W the rotors turned engines at backward mode as if i pressed S. (UP/DOWN same problem).
Well but if i rebuild my cockpit block at mirror direction, the rotors will start to work also in the opposite direction.(behavior as i originally expected in the normal case).
Has anyone met the same problem?
It's possible to just revert direction in the script?

Yes, set up the tag system and tag the rotors and thrusters you want to control.

is there a way to get this script to only control specific thrusters that are on rotors? or will i have to lock the ones i don't want moving?

@VectorMane Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFLi_Md8oIk it does a pretty good job of showing how to make this work. Hope that helps.

I'm having a problem with my nacelles acting up. They are wobbling back and forth and when I press space they all point towards the middle of the ship.

The miracle script that I needed, but it's far too complicated to set up for me. Wish I could understand what to do better.
