Gears

[molten hatch]

ids that with the uh

PhySex.......

the constraihtns..

[sly coral]

yes

[next sparrow]

Yoooooo

Bro really did it

Do you set ratio, and channel, or only ratio and select 2 ships?

[molten hatch]

VEHCILE API..

[sly coral]

you can also do this lmao

[sly coral]

why would you set channel

what would channel even do

[next sparrow]

For fun

[sly coral]

anyways i can only really change ratio

[next sparrow]

Good enough

How does it know which direction it should turn tho

E.g. if gears are parallel

[sly coral]

also they are not fixed in space

[next sparrow]

Also, does it have to be on 1 ship?

Ok nvm

I already see

[sly coral]

in a sense it's just an upgraded sync rotation

actually no

[next sparrow]

Yea, I see what you did here

[sly coral]

because position matters

where you create constraint

[next sparrow]

So it knows?

[next sparrow]

.

[sly coral]

wait, i need to test

[molten hatch]

is it just a rotation constraint

oh

[next sparrow]

Do parallel gears rotate the same, or opposite way?

[sly coral]

no it's a gear constraint

it's pretty simple actually

[sly coral]

@odd ginkgo

[odd ginkgo]

does it work 90 degrees

this is why space eye is the goat

[sly coral]

scroll up bruh

[odd ginkgo]

ok i see now

[narrow stone]

Do they just slide to the shared rotation codewise?

[sly coral]

what

[narrow stone]

Like, they have a shared rotation and if rotational force is applied to one, its rotation is applied to the second one as well?

[sly coral]

that's what i showed, yes

[narrow stone]

Yea, but I'm interested in how it works from the coding side

If you don't mind explaining ofc

[sly coral]

val rotationConstraint = VSGearJoint(
            shipId1, VSJointPose(sPos1.toJomlVector3d(), getHingeRotation(sDir1)),
            shipId2, VSJointPose(sPos2.toJomlVector3d(), getHingeRotation(sDir2)),
            maxForceTorque,
            gearRatio = gearRatio,
        )

[narrow stone]

thanks

[narrow stone]

Ooo, cool

[vagrant ember]

Nice, very much appreciated

[novel zinc]

Yooo spaceeye how are you doing buddy

[idle mantle]

im kinda dumb when it comes to code how would i put this into somethin do i put it in a vmod folder or smth?

o wait i think i got to i put it into a config thing but then it doesnt work

[idle mantle]

it just keeps crashing @sly coral

[sly coral]

????????

[vagrant ember]

[idle mantle]

when i put that code into the vmod config coding app i saved it then loaded up mc and it just keeps crashing and saying rendering error

[sly coral]

what

[idle mantle]

this code

[sly coral]

what you said makes no sense

what "vmod config coding app"

[idle mantle]

ok sry

[sly coral]

what do you mean by that

[idle mantle]

yea thats confusing lemme take a screen shot

[sly coral]

that's

that's not how it works

[idle mantle]

enlighten me master spaceeye

[sly coral]

what are you trying to do

[idle mantle]

get that gear thing for the vmod too gun

[idle mantle]

this thing

[sly coral]

you can't

[idle mantle]

but yyyyyyyy
