It depends on how game develoeprs implemented the block, sometimes they precalculate values and save them so changing the source variables like rocket power doesnt affect the rocket

Very good mod for programmers and war crimes lovers. For some reason, after ignition you cant edit rocket power, but everything else is ok.

truposjigatel Certain values you can't change while the simulation is running, not sure if the ones you mentioned are unchangable but that might be why it's not working.

У клиента не работает set_slider('speed',..) для колес и вращающихся блоков. При этом у сервера все ок - тот же скрипт, та же техника - колеса крутятся без проблем. Было раньше такое или это после обновы бесиджа? Что можно поделать? Ошибок никаких не выдает.

support message simulate please. and new DLC blocks

Some blocks do not support changing its speed during simulation.
To detect presses on xbox controller you have to use input.get_key_down("JoystickButton0"). Joystick buttons are kind-of randomly mapped, so you have to google "unity xbox one controller mapping"

Or how to detect button presses on xbox controller?

Hi do flying blocks work with set speed slider? I tried yaw.set_slider("speed", 3) and using local yaw = machine.get_refs_control("yaw") but it is not working. Are they broken or am I doing it wrong : P

no problem

I figured it out, i just had name sorting issues, sorry for the hassle.

You can only copy script itself. Im not sure if you are talking about script or module system.

How do i carry over a module from one creation to another???

you should see errors in logging window, see documentation

hi, im getting this error a lot, sometimes i make mistakes and instead of getting a error, the lua program simply wont run
so its hard to debug when it wont show what i did wrong

You can't but vscode will autocomplete on existing stuff

i am very new to lua, how can i setup autocomplete in vscode?

Wow thats so cool

I might get a job in real life, because a robot i build using math that i tested in the game using your mod.
So thanks.

thats a long story, you better read Lua documentation and this mod documentation

so, i got the main.lua folder open, where would i put that input in?

whoops, I meant the x and y axis
thanks though!

you can use input.get_axis("Horizontal") to get delta movement
also z axis of your mouse? :)

so, how would I get it so I have control of a wheel and a steering block by using the x, y, z axis of my mouse?

Yes. Why not?

Does this mod still work?

Единственный способ это установить клавишу на пушке и в коде создать эмулятор клавиши:
local cannons = machine.new_key_emulator('c')
и потом выстрелить:
cannons.click()
Больше информации на вики (ссылка в описании мода, не копирую потому что стим может скрыть комментарий с ссылками).

Привет. Вопрос: как активировать блок через скрипт, если в игре он активируется не по нажатию клавиши, а по коду. Например для пушки: СТРЕЛЯТЬ: 'bot8_turCan_fire'. Спасибо!

your_var += input.mouse_scroll_delta().y

hello, i would like to ask if there is any way to get the input of the mouse wheel? i want to make a variable that increases each time i scroll the mouse wheel up, and decrease when i scroll the mouse wheel down.

Hm. Yeah thats hard

Explodes the tank

What key?

If a wooden block has blown off from the machine, it triggers a key. Like if when the block is destroyed and falls off from the vehicle.

Joints are present only on server. What are you trying to do? Maybe there is a way to find alternative.

Oh alright.Then uh, is there any way to check if an object's joint is holding on or its detached? (Not that much of a problem because i managed to do it with raycast, its just complicated) Still very great mod and the most useful to have :) .

Block's .health() should work, really not sure how to fix this. Also player's health value is set only on server... I really don't want to dig into game code base to figure out how and why it is like that. The .destroyed() is actually returned if block game object is gone, not detached. In general game's health system is a big mystery since blocks don't have health but joints.

sadly all these properties are just hooks for game variables. i cant fix them. ill try to add health bars value

Could you add a function to check the player's health bar's value? Also the .heath() value only changes if the block is on fire, and do not change when it is blown off the machine.
.destroyed() always return false even if object burnt, or thorn off the machine.

no way currently

I have a question, is there any way to get the machine's health value? or if it is zero or not?

Ill try but I have certain issues so i am unable to fix these bugs now.

some bugs here:
1. print doesn't work in play()
2. entities.count() is always 0
please fix :(

uh you can check it by physics raycast

Do you intend to add detector to see if a grabber is helding something or not?

i think no...

Is there any way to use the reference controller on settings that aren't sliders? For example, toggling 'auto grab' on a grabber block.

i'll try to make them soon

i think set_steering isnt working work due game optimizations, i can try to fix this but im not sure if it is necessary

parameters for modules is a great idea, not just name but multiple parameters

set_steering is unreliable if no button associated with that steering is pressed.

Also, it would be nice if lua modules could get the string for its name.

string.format and maybe other functions seems not to be implemented, sorry
