dynamic gravity

[tropic geyser]

idk how preformance impacting this would be, but maybe a gamerule or something to enable "dynamic gravity" which basically makes ships have less and less gravity the higher they go up

so using something like create northstar, it would look like youre in space and ships would also interact different too

this could be a vmod or a vs2 feature, might be harder to make if its a vmod feature

[primal sage]

use cc and command blocks abd vmod gravity

[tropic geyser]

how would that work

I meant in survival

so you don't gotta manually change gravity on each ship via vmod

for servers

so players could make space stations and stuff

orbital cannons

you could also just do a rough version where if ship gets to a certain height, zero gravity

tho I would do that via commands but I don't think you can get pos

and if you can, it might heavily impact performance compared to mod(s)

This seems like something that would be a separate addon, and it doesn't seem difficult to do, maybe it could be done with just a mixin, but I don't know the VS API, I would try if I had my computer, but it's broken at the moment :c

[tropic geyser]

it would be a really cool addon

yea mixins i thought of that

i just dont know how much code is public

[pseudo ingot]

mixining will be a bad idea

As I said, I don't know the API yet,
what do you suggest then?
I thought it would be a good solution to make a mixin in the gravity getter to reduce it according to the height

[pseudo ingot]

well, you can do that, but the gravity value is deep in VS-Core, which is obfuscated

the value is also obfuscated

so

[pseudo ingot]

you can look at how i did changeable gravity ig

[hollow sparrow]

thinking about it, it wouldn't make much sense for the ships to just suffer less gravity, they would have to suffer less air resistance, so I have no idea how to do it

it would only be a good idea for them to suffer less gravity in the case of a dedicated space exploration mod for vs

[pseudo ingot]

there is like almost 0 air resistance in VS

now if you use wings or flaps, then yea

but rn it's basically non-existent by itself

idk how to change values for wings though

you probably can't

[hollow sparrow]

If there is no air resistance, then if I accelerate a ship enough and turn off the engine, will it continue flying infinitely?

[leaden shuttle]

Yeah with no wings or anything, it should

Like have you ever seen a gyro platform glitch out?

The gyro tried to right the platform, giving it momentum, and making it slowly slide indefinitely in a direction

[pseudo ingot]

well, maybe not infinitely

i do think that there is a very small drag

but very far? yes

[hollow sparrow]

so cursed
