Help making attachment nodes


Recommended Posts

I have a tiny cubesat mod that I'm trying to make, but I cant connect anything to them. I want to have a attachment node on each side. They show up in the VAB, but I still can ONLY attach radial parts to it. Also I have a question about the node size. Can I attach different size nodes to other size nodes? (ex: attach a size 1 to a size 2)

Here is the related part of the .cfg file. (yes, the part is really small.)

node_stack_right = 0.05, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_left = -0.05, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_back = 0, 0, 0.05, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_front = 0, 0,-0.05, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_top = 0, 0.05, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_bottom = 0,-0.05, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0

I notice all your nodes have the attach direction along the positive Z axis.

Try this:

node_stack_right = 0.05, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0
node_stack_left = -0.05, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0
node_stack_back = 0, 0, 0.05, 0, 0, 1, 0
node_stack_front = 0, 0,-0.05, 0, 0, -1, 0
node_stack_top = 0, 0.05, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0
node_stack_bottom = 0,-0.05, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0

The first three numbers are the X, Y, and Z position of the nodes - the fourth through sixth numbers are the X, Y, and Z direction vector with the last number being the node size.

And you can attach different sized nodes.
