im modding the lander from starship troopers but the engie is giving me problems, it is a 6 nozel engine and i have copied it from the aerospike but there is this weird 7th fx that runs along the root game object plus the fx is always running, i have tired several new configs (the latest one cause it to break and the game no longer loads) but nothing i have done has any effect, it still produces thrust and everything just the fx does not respond to throttle 1ETPeKV.png

On the FX running all the time pretty sure you have to write the cfg for the engine to run closed

 

EDIT- Here is a example from one of  Beale Beginners Part Modding Tutorial 

EFFECTS

	{

	running_closed

	{

	AUDIO

	{

	channel = Ship

	clip = sound_rocket_spurts

	volume = 0.0 0.0

	volume = 3.0 3.0

	pitch = 0.0 0.2

	pitch = 1.0 1.0

	loop = true

	}

	MODEL_MULTI_PARTICLE

	{

	modelName = Squad/FX/shockExhaust_red_small

	transformName = thrustTransform

	emission = 0.0 0.0

	emission = 0.05 0.0

	emission = 0.075 0.25

	emission = 1.0 1.25

	speed = 0.0 0.5

	speed = 1.0 1.2

	}

	}

	engage

	{

	AUDIO

	{

	channel = Ship

	clip = sound_vent_soft

	volume = 1.0

	pitch = 2.0

	loop = false

	}

	}

	flameout

	{

	PREFAB_PARTICLE

	{

	prefabName = fx_exhaustSparks_flameout_2

	transformName = thrustTransform

	oneShot = true

	}

	AUDIO

	{

	channel = Ship

	clip = sound_explosion_low

	volume = 1.0

	pitch = 2.0

	loop = false

	}

	}

	}

running_closed in this instance is simply the effects name, used with ModuleEnginesFX. The aerospike, and by extension this part, does not use ModuleEnginesFX and uses ModuleEngines instead.

ModuleEngines does not require EFFECTS to be defined, as the effects are set by these lines: 

fx_exhaustFlame_blue = 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, running

	    fx_exhaustLight_blue = 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, running

	    fx_smokeTrail_light = 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, running

	    fx_exhaustSparks_flameout = 0.0, -0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, flameout

	    sound_vent_medium = engage

	    sound_rocket_hard = running

	    sound_vent_soft = disengage

	    sound_explosion_low = flameout

I suspect there is an errant thrustTransform somewhere, possibly on the body of the craft itself. I would also remove the following from the cfg (unless you added a heat emissive or fairing): 

	    MODULE

	    {

	        name = FXModuleAnimateThrottle

	        animationName = Aerospike_Heat

	        responseSpeed = 0.001

	        dependOnEngineState = True

	        dependOnThrottle = True

	    }
	    MODULE

	    {

	        name = ModuleJettison

	        jettisonName = Fairing

	        bottomNodeName = bottom

	        isFairing = True

	        jettisonedObjectMass = 0.1

	        jettisonForce = 5

	        jettisonDirection = 0 0 1

	    }

ive checked and rechecked for exxtra theust teransfors but there are none, it just happnes to also be right through the origin of the engine
