action group help.

Hi Folks,

I am trying to get those thrusters into two action groups so the rotate in the same way and gimble in the same way, currently they spin oppositely and Ive tried several times to put them in action groups and can't seem to  make it work.

Thanks in advance.

I’m not entirely sure I understand your issue. So you have those engines on rotation servos, and when your action group is triggered these rotate in opposite directions?

I guess you could simply re-place the rotation servos so that they rotate in the same way.

Another option would be to use a KAL controller , bind its play position to a translate action group, and add the rotation servos to the KAL, so you can then manually define the rotation of each servo to match your needs.

I have had them operate in opposite directions, and I have had them not spin at all, and even in flight had then all spinning like fire works.

What I want to do is press a button and rotate the servos from one position to another; ideally Id like to be able to rotate them as desired in either direction, pointing back to pointing down should suffice.

What I managed to do was use "custom one" and "engane servo motor" and set the target angle BUT I never managed to actually do it from the VAB. I could build half the command in the VAB, assigning the one key to engage motors, and in flight set the target angle, then I could hit the one key and they would switch from thrusters pointing back, and thrusters pointing down. this is very hackneed.

It's so buggy. Like the adding the target angle in flight didn't stick, so everytime I would load a quick save the changes would be lost and THIS IS INFURIATING when trying to land.
