problem with moduleJettison

[simonArtisan]

i want made a mod has two fairing like the stock nuclearEngine with two fairing jettison to opposite direction.

but the things i didn't understand is how "jettison direction" in the modulejettison is working.

in my case,the axis xyz of "jettison direction" seems rotated compare with the nuclearEngine

and when i put multiple part to the vessel their jettison direction will behavior as global axis,it's also different with the nuclearEngine.

so,i think there must be something i missed when i create this mod.

can anyone familiar with modulejettison could help me?

First of all, did you set isFairing = True or False? (False makes objects like the LVN fairing that shoot out)

[simonArtisan]

i did copy every setting in the cfg file of nuclearEngine.

But still not behavior as nuclearEngine fairing

so,i am wondering if there is something i should do in unity?

if i make isFairing = True,the fairing wont shot at all.

MODULE

{

name = ModuleJettison

jettisonName = fairingR

bottomNodeName = bottom

isFairing = False

jettisonedObjectMass = 0.1

jettisonForce = 50

jettisonDirection = -1 0 0

}

here is the my cfg file.

Is there anything need to do with unity?

[Ledenko]

Can you explain what the fairing is supposed to do? There's a few problems as you have it right now, if you check the nuclear engine config, you'll see there are two entries with ModuleJettison, one for each part of the fairing that gets jettisoned. If you have a single object, it won't look right and while I'm not sure, I think the jettisoned parts need colliders.

[simonArtisan]

i want to make fairing do the same thing as unclearEngine.The problem i have is with the same cfg file while the direction fairing jettisoned is different from nuclearEngine.

[Ledenko]

It will be affected by the position and rotation of the model itself, so try rotating it in unity or even better, in your 3d modeling app.

[simonArtisan]

thx,i well keep trying.

btw,have you ever played anything else using modulejettison with isFairing = False? i want to test more to finger out what's going on with their model.

It looks like that some transform (either that jettisonName or that bottomNodeName) that the ModuleJettison needs cannot be found.

and perhaps with the transform == null, the force is automatically applied by unity engine in world coordinate system. Just my guess.
