Custom part not working....

[Mekan1k]

Hey guys... I have been working, slowly, on a custom engine- a modification of the jet engine, utilizing electric charge and intake air....

And I cannot seem to get any thrust out of it.

Relies on hotrockets for a significant part of the cfg- here's a link if anyone wants to see if they can find the problem.

You need to add this to the config and tweak it.

atmosphereCurve

{

key = 0 1000

key = 0.3 1800

key = 1 2000

}

velocityCurve

{

key = 1000 0 0 0

key = 850 0.2 0 0

key = 0 1 0 0

}

Remember, you have useVelocityCurve = True

In your config and you didn't put anything like it in the config lol.

Next piece that is not working is a smaller version of the same engine. Trouble is, when I build a craft with it, it loads, and the ion animation does not respond to the throttle... Same with the jet trail. Also, if the jet trail could be removed, that would be nice.

You need to have

runningEffectName = powersmoke

directThrottleEffectName = powerflame

on MODULE { name = ModuleEnginesFX }

It should look like this:

MODULE
    {
        name = ModuleEnginesFX
        runningEffectName = powersmoke
        directThrottleEffectName = powerflame
	thrustVectorTransformName = thrustTransform
        exhaustDamage = False
        ignitionThreshold = 0.1
        minThrust = 0
        maxThrust = 39
        heatProduction = 650
        useEngineResponseTime = True
        engineAccelerationSpeed = 1.3
        engineDecelerationSpeed = 2.0
        useVelocityCurve = True
        fxOffset = 0, 0, 0.74

They control the effect's throttling

If you want to remove the red parts that glow inside the engine, just remove

MODULE

{

name = ModuleAnimateHeat

ThermalAnim = HeatAnimationEmissiveJet

}

Thanks man!

No problem
