nvm i figured it out

how do i make it spin

how do i make the pistons move automatically

nvm

how do i spawn the pistons

Can you make this mod compatible with this?

What if you made a tool that could create a gearbox for the prop engine?

where can i get the parts

so how's the axis slider standalone tool

@Killerluigi91 Let me see what I can do.

using the undo tool when you have buttons on this causes the engine parts to go bye bye also can you please add it so we can change the piston pos too?

Maybe?

can you make the e2 that spawns give sound paths for engine Idle for ward and backward sounds?

can you make the axis slider a standalone Tool

@SANDERS You need to dupe the engine before trying to turn it over, and rotary engines need axis not sliders.

the other issue is the rotary style bugs out hard like spazzes

soo i got it to make the e2 but the e2 wont spin the stuff

Hint_Wiremode is needed to create E2

my dupes are not props, :> thanks for this

thx

Power to a constant value, start with around 20 or so. Forward and backward to either a pod controller or numpad inputs.

Where should I wire the Forward/Backward and Power?

@HollyBlocky Sure, this only places props and ropes so is fully dupe-able.

Just curious. If I were to make a prop-engine in singleplayer with this addon, and dupe it with-say, the Advance Duplicator 2 tool-will the engine be able to paste in servers without this addon?

@BittenEite I’ve added an option to generate a pre-wired E2, which means that you only have to wire forward/backward and a constant value for the power now. Should speed up engine creation!

For those wondering how to get it to work, you'll need a bit of knowledge in prop-engine building.

This mod takes care of the most sensitive/time-consuming part of building a prop-engine, which is placing the props and constraining them correctly.

That leaves us with just a machine, one that we have no control over yet. So we need to code an "ApplyTorque" in E2 to each of the pistons.

You can use any typical engine E2 chip, and use its outputs on the Z-axis of the ApplyTorque to each respective piston. You'll have to do this on your own as most engine chips don't use ApplyTorque.

This video is a great starting point for those wanting to learn about prop-engine building:

this might be a dumb question but how do I make it work? I got it assembled but dont know how to make it spin

I cannot comprehend this and I am literally a car

So I had a bit of fun playing around with it. It's almost perfect, except for a few things:
- Option for firing order. Opposing pistons cancel out their forces and thus adding stability.
- Option for Transverse/Longitudinal. The rotational force of the crackshaft could shift around the weight of the whole car.

Keep it up!

Pogs

I always take some time building one of these myself.
This should make our lives buildin' cars much easier.

how 2 make it work

how do i make it go chug chug

Bug: making burnouts in SCars with this addons installed makes the wheels go through the ground

yoooo imagine making a realistic car with this engine, might be a bit laggy because of all the pistons

How can i move the rope from the middle point?

There are V4 engines, and V16 engines.

"V8 Block" don't ya mean "V" shaped engines mate? ya' don't call V shaped engines all V8's

oh thanks
I couldnt find any applyforce chips thoe. Can you link one if you have one?

@FRS_Cakeineer That's true, this is for use with E2 applyforce chips and props, not thusters. This addon doesn't support thrusters yet I'm afraid.

use wiremod instead of thrusters

WFL when I use thrusters as pistons the thrusters lose thruster capabilities. It becomes a prop even if I change it to a different piston model like an SProps Cylinder.

New People : Finally smth to use and never learning it

Pro God : Pff i can make a better engine that you cant even IMAGINE ITS POWER !!

Never really seen Prop Engines before. Explanation?

noooooop

+rep , this is really cool

:yay:

looks cool
