Mech building problem
I built a mech with the help of the tutorial, but it has one problem. It likes to drift backwards when I'm not moving it, any help?

The drifting issue happens when the constraints on the legs do not give enough freedom of rotation, causing the pieces to push on the vehicle.

It could also be an issue with things colliding with each other, in which case nocollide helps.

Thanks for the help. I've had to rebuild this mech three times already due to messing up something different each time. I'm gonna go fix those constraints now.

Would you be able to explain in what way they are bugged? Like how are they acting, do they do anything? Also the ballistic and missile weapons need a reactor and that reactor must also not be above its maximum load limit for weapons linked to it to fire. Did you ensure that the weapons were linked to a reactor and that the contraption's total weight was below the load limit and that the ammo boxes were the proper ammo type?

I might have to look at it myself, I'd recommend that you join the server if you can't get it working.

Some tips:
-make sure the gyro is linked to the reactor
-make sure your guns are linked to the reactor
-make sure the weight of the contraption is not above 50000kg (the max weight for the medium reactors)

The name and IP is listed under "Main Server" on the group page, though I think you've seen it now. Add me as a friend when you're ready, though my schedule for today is somewhat busy, so I might have to get to you later, as I'll be out.
