Gyro errors
Ok, so I've finally got this mod working, but I just cant ever get any of the mechs I build working. I've downloaded any of the community mechs that I could find and they work fine. Ive been trying figure out what is the problem specifically and narrowed it down to the gyro(removing it stops the errors). I've gone through and wired/linked everything together almost exactly as you did in your tutorials, and nothing is functioning properly. If i unfreeze it, it'll collapse all the way down and then spring up into the air. Using the adv dupe 2 just does the same thing while outputting errors.

Here is just a visual of what I have in front of me:

So idk if its one of my own mods (I have dissabled many to get this working, but seeing as mechs the community made work: I doubt this is this is the case) or I've just consistently made the same error multiple times.

I will need a copy of the error. You can open up the console by pressing the ~ key if you have dev console enabled in options. Once that's open just copy and paste the errors, this will allow me to see what's going wrong in the code and should help me figure out the problem.

Also a common troubleshooting issue is the gate not being parented to the baseplate as they are welded by default unless you set your gate tool's settings to parent. If that doesn't work then I'll need those error codes.

Ok. This is a copy of what is being constantly output:

[DakTek Combat System] lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694: attempt to index field 'deadcontraption' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694


[DakTek Combat System] lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694: attempt to index field 'deadcontraption' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694


[DakTek Combat System] lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694: attempt to index field 'deadcontraption' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/entities/dak_gyro/init.lua:694

And it contiues so on and so forth. I am on a mac at the moment. Idk if that has anything to do with it.
I also have made sure that everything is parented properly. I followed your tutorials to the letter.

Seems to be an issue with the gyroscope not getting the contraption table from the reactor properly and thus being unable to fill the "deadcontraption" array.

If other mechs that are public work on the same server, then there's no compatability issues possible and it would have to be something in your build. You said you followed my tutorials "almost" exactly, what was it that you deviated on?

I'd likely have to take a look at it personally to find what's wrong with it. I have my servers up and would be willing to help you there, what are some times you're open?

On the server now, you seem to be AFK, I'll wait around a bit.
