Constant-velocity joint mod [Spaar`s Modloader][v0.42b]

[ITR]

If you have a global variable: "GameObject bgeL1":

if(bgeL1==null){
          bgeL1 = GameObject.Find("bgeL1");
          if(bgeL1!=null){
                    DoAllStuffNeededToMakeSureAllBlocksHaveTheRightComponent();
          }
}

That should make it work with as little lag as possible.

But how do i get every game Object that is a ball joint without lag?

 

[ITR]

Well, the "DoAllStuffNeededToMakeSureAllBlocksHaveTheRightComponent();" doesn't matter if is a little laggy, because it will only be called once, when a new machine is loaded. So you can just use the FindObjectOfType() thing there.

 

[ITR]

Oh, also, you should join the slack team

 

[CroCraCri]

ITR
Stupid question
But what is the slack team?

 

[MaxTCC]

The slack team is a team chat room (kind of).
You can chat with text real-time with other team members.
You can discuss modding, share codes, and basically have a great time!

If you do want to join it, send a PM with your email to spaar.

CroCraCri Instead of doing any interating over any lists of blocks or using any FindObjectOfType-kind method, try just adding your component to the templates in AddPiece.blockTypes and MachineObjectTracker.AllPrefabs. You can use this file to get the respective indices you need. In the future, you'll also be able to access those enums in the mod loader, but not quite yet.

I go on holiday so I can't test it but thank you for the help.

 

[CroCraCri]

I finally updated the mod to Besiege v0.2.

 

[CroCraCri]

Updated to v0.27!

I don't fully understand what I have done, but it works! (never programmed with C# and Unity before)

I think this statement isn't up to date anymore

 

[Y.Lachapelle]

update for 0.3?

 

[Psh]

Your mod is great, thanks a lot! I hope you will be able to apdate it to v0.3 . Also i have a question, is it possible to create a block wich acts like differential (rear axle in car) ?

p.s. sorry for my english)

 

[esnevip]

Any chance of an update?
I love this mod, it adds realism to all my vehicles!

 

[AxeSlash]

Bump for update, desperately want this mod...

 

[ttoonnyy]

Wait, locks the Y Axis? What's the default Rotation Order? Also, Local or World axis?

 

[AxeSlash]

Local. The idea is that the ball joint is fixed along it's length, but still articulates in the other 2 directions so you can use it in drive mechanisms to go around corners. Look up CV (Constant Velocity) joint on wikipedia.

Any chance of an update?

 

[StonedGolem]

Still waiting for this update to make my realistic jeep

 

[CroCraCri]

Update to v0.4
I apologize for my absence.
