in lua\entities\gmod_wire_fin_controller\init.lua at line 49 there is check to see if the fin is unparented before changing the efficiency, this is always returning false, preventing the efficiency from being changed. Most contraptions have their fins parent-welded anyways so....

Either way, remove that check and the controller works again. If you don't intend to make this change or don't want to update this addon, I would like your permission to upload a version of this addon with this fix applied.

so, is this a wire aileron controller tool of some sort? if so could you make something like this but isnt wiremod? like something that could be controlled with just stock arrow keys? that would be pretty cool

yes sorry my pc broke down, i wasnt able to work on it

i just tested it to make sure, no idea why it doesnt work anymore. I will look into it in the next few days

@Winston Use "wire_fin_controller_model modelpath" instead.

Can you please provide the command to change the controller model? For example, for a wire thruster it's "wire_thruster_model <modelpath>".
I hoped for this it would be "wire_fin_controller" but it doesn't seem to be

Da kann man ruhig mal klatschen.

Does it work with ACF

:plane:

can you put wire mod link too i cant find it

Here's the Fin Tool if anyone's looking for it: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=165509582&searchtext=fin

where can i find the fin tool on workshop... will fin 2 work?

nevermind thnx to link i found it in ur favorites thanks alot

how do u get the wire mod

Do you have an E2 that does that?

1. Right Click Spaw the controller
2. Left click on a Prop which has Fin from the "Fin Tool" on it
3. Left Click on the Fin Controller
4.Wire something to the Controller that throws out a number, that number will set the Effiency
(Button, Constant Value, Expression2...).

The Fin Controller won't do anything until you give it a number

how to i make this work, i put the controller, link it and nothing happens, please tell me step by step

Now I can land my Fin mod planes :D

Thanks

VERRY VERRY usefull when making aircrafts

Right click to spawn the controller, left click on a fin (An entity which has Fin from the "Fin Tool" on it) then left click the controller and its done. The controller has all the wire Inputs/outputs to change the fin effiency.

how do you use this i dont know how it works

no wobble finplates and noone they that can use :P

Its NOT a dupe! its just a Wire Tool to control the Fin effiency!

Aswome

sooo cool! i use it all the time when im playing gmod and need to control fins!

awesome
