Thrust transform in Unity

[Kokanee]

Good Day,

Just decided to get my feet wet with modding last week; and after having successfully created a series of service modules I am trying to move on with an engine. Unfortunately I am finding that the documentation out there for modding ksp either does not exist or is extremely out of date. I have been able to locate a few excellent how to guides and youtube videos, but they all seem to only deal with simple objects like nosecones and fueltanks. I'm very eager to develop my skills; is there a "master" resource for developing for KSP?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

SOLVED!

I don't know good documentation but since KW engines are good at variability, I recommend examining their source code. It helped me a lot and I don't even know C sharp that much, hope it helps you too.

From what I have been able to divine from snippets of good info here on the forums and the backs of some discarded sugar packets; I need to "apply a thrust transform using part tools".

I located a guide to creating the proper transform; didn't realize it was supposed to be a game object... So good! I'm getting sounds when I spool up the engine now, just no thrust still....

I didn't parent my thrustTransform under the gameobject... so it's fixed now.

You should write a quick how-to on what you did. It's how the documentation improves.

Yes please, or at least point to the documentation you found that helped you. Just saying you figured it out doesn't help the rest of us struggling with the same problems

I'd love to see the documentation you found.

So, I think what's confusing other people here is how to create the thrustTransform object. It's devilishly simple. It's actually an empty GameObject parented in the first one, but it MUST BE NAMED "thrustTransform"

that cleared it up allot hempelom

can someone please provide pics of how to add a thrust transform and what to do with it?because all the info I have gotten is either not very helpful or not at all helpful
