Oh and any negative value given to a position reverses the input of the piston, or rotor.

Example : if = new Rotor ( Name : Prefix+"Moror6", Asis: "-X", OriMode: 1, Home: -45 );

If you did this in the line above this rotor would reverse the action of this rotor and the way it behaves. Just like inverting the controls in setting on most games. You just have to do this manually in the code here.

Hope this helps anyone that had a question on why some things may have a negative value.

When attaching anything with a remote control to an existing grid using marge blocks, landing gear, or even connectors. I have found they cancel the antenna communication with all grids. Was attempting to set up a Sandbag drop on an out post and control the parachute hatches with remote controls. Each time I connected to the sandbags I no longer could communicate with them. It was as if the antenna had been shorted out or destroyed. I would have to grind it down and rebuild to establish communications again.
I did not expect this mod to work in game, but it gives someone a build guide on how to make one from scratch.
As long as you understand the concept of X,Y,Z, ordinance. There is a great explination of this on YouTube. Just think this way X is your index finger Z is your thumb and Y is your middle finger. Point your index away from you, your thumb in the air and middle finger should be pointing left.

So I'm having an issue where when I click "Copy to Clipboard" it just sits there forever and does nothing. But when I try to exit it asks if I want to interrupt the loading. Other blueprints work. But I can't get any of these arms to load. Neither in survival or creative. I'm on sp

@Westrum Because the original, "natural" shape of the arm is an upside down U shape, so the 2nd piston's natural angle (where natural means all rotors at 0 deg) is pointing straight down, which is -z. Try removing all the "Home" parameters and telling the arm to go home in a Creative world and see what its original 0 shape is.

Why is the second piston -z axis? I dont understand. Trying to build something like this myself, but I fail to understand pistons and determining which axis they should be called?

Hmm how to set a new 'home' position? I kinda want it to lay flat like the boom truck one does when not on use

Thanks Timotei, I'm getting good use out of this! Super impressive to have this function so well in this game.

@hyperspeed96 But I just tested it yesterday and it worked. What is not working? Are you in SP or MP? I need more details to find the problem.

it still doesnt fucking work
