I Made A Single Rocket Engine Control Everything

[@DaShikuXI]

Can we all just appreciate how incredibly useful the gyro stabilizers have been. Probably the best block ever added.

[@briishcabbage568]

yeah. Not the same as old stablisation engines since it's more floaty, but still super useful since it's so much smaller.

[@htomerif]

Well unfortunately for the video title, the gyros do everything and the rocket does basically nothing. The only reason I clicked on this video was to see if it was a great big lie, and it was. Its like in KSP saying "I made just one rocket engine control everything" and then your whole ship is a pile of RCS thrusters and reaction wheels. Its just a lie.

[@Dylwap]

Block? Bros in minecraft

[@htomerif]

@@Dylwap You've never played trailmakers, have you. The construction is all in a block grid. Same as scrap mechanic, same as besieged, same as terratech. Its a block, dude.

[@Dylwap]

@@htomerif its in a cubic grid, that doesnt make it a block 💀

[@vit.budina]

Another possibility for yaw would be to have a system that temporarily offsets your center of mass, which would create a lever between the center of thrust and the center of mass.

[@moroblizniak4457]

Exacly why i figured out too.

[@L1amba]

In order for that to work he would probably have to lower the output of the gyro stabilizers which might mess with the overall stability

[@diegootero1686]

​@@L1ambaNo, he wouldn't. He only needs to offset the center or mass, not tilt the thing.

[@bruhsobruh6044]

@@diegootero1686 and is very simple thing to do, a 30 or 50 kg block in a piston and it's done.

[@ShinyFungus]

To yaw with the thruster, you could have a mode that alters your a/d movement from strafe to yaw, simply by having tail fins at the back (or front) of the creation, that are horizontal for strafe-mode and vertical for yaw-mode, thus creating an asymmetric force of resistance when strafing in a direction and allowing for yaw.

[@notthatbad42]

I’d love to see just a simple no-limits dogfight with all the new stuff from the spacebound update

[@Mxstery_man]

That won’t work bro

[@zeder_0164]

9:43 To fix it, you could set a predetermined power to the thruster so that even descending you maintain control, with an altitude sensor always active at 30%

[@_miobrot_603]

or you could increase the angle of the vectoring, so then the vertical component of the thrust is less while the horizontal component grows. That means the thruster has to be on more. in order to keep the altitude.

[@PhilCoati]

If you tune the vectoring angle there should be a point where the thruster stays on constantly while going in a direction.

Please do Hide And Seek on Multiplayer Monday ScrapMan. We all love Hide'n'Seek content. Also it makes my day a bit more brighter and enjoyable. I love watching you (ScrapMan) and your friends playing Hide'n'Seek. It's thrilling, captivating, funny and all that. Please don't stop making MM H'N'S.

[@Purberus96]

I’ve been rewatching the older ones 👌

[@anatolian6269]

It is interesting that how scrapmans not only programming skills developed, also the designing and shaping skills become better and better lately. I am kinda happy to see greatly modelled creations you do sir. Like old buildings was kinda mess, when it comes to form of them, not gonna lie. Now we go brr with these shapes

[@GummieI]

It really does feel like just yesterday, when he was straight up terrified at the thought of doing even the most simple of logic systems

[@PoizenGamer]

I Wonder if the new EMP can disable the shield on the speeder

[@usshared1649]

Do you have trailmakers? If so test it and let us know! :)

[@spaghettiwaffles]

unfortunately, the answer seems to be no. for starters, the EMP doesnt do damage to enemies. I hit some blimps with multiple EMPs and couldnt see a change in their health bar. secondly, no weapons lock on to the shielded speeder/zeppelin so its hard to get a hit. I did manage to get a singular direct hit with one emp, and it did not disable the shield. My guess is that it's programmed to be total invincibility like the Super Shields on Nassau are

[@anteshell]

9:43 You can easily solve this problem by increasing the angle the thruster can tilt. If you tilt it so much that the upwards component is equal to the gravity, it will then keep you on level while also thrusting you laterally. If you raise the angle more, you start then dropping. The problem with this method is that you wouldn't be able to both raise your altitude and thrust laterally at the same time. But that too is solvable with logic. you could have gates to make the max vector angle less when attempting to raise altitude. Or just ignore the problem altogether and stop vectoring when raising altitude as conservation of momentum still would keep you moving laterally. But that would also mean less controllability when going upwards. With just one thruster, every solution have unavoidable compromises. Also, you should put another speed sensor for going downwards to keep the speed slow and steady instead of fully shutting down the thruster. Something like 20-40kmh. That would prevent the craft reaching un-recoverable speeds and crashing down. And while at it, add multiple speed sensor and proximity sensor pairs so that the lower your ground altitude is, the lower speeds it allow you to descend.

[@joel1010]

Since you started doing thrust vectoring, can do also do a video of it on planes and space crafts aswell? To see if it makes the craft more maneuverable and better overall like the F22 in real life?

[@tuluppampam]

I think that adding another speed sensor at like 10km/h, which would override any other thruster control, would have improved the descent, making it harder to unwillingly crash into the ground

[@Barry.T.racing]

I love these type of videos

[@moroblizniak4457]

8:24 Damn, it looks like some low level mob from tower defence game! Well done!

this singe rocket is singling my eyes

He can edit the title after posting. I think.

[@beaclaster]

@@CephalusLtd of course he can, i just find it funny

[@Barry.T.racing]

You should make it so it’s gyro stablized rocket thruster instead of the gyro stabilizers if that makes sense

[@chickenwizardthethird9386]

Hear me out, discarding sabot fin stabilized shell cannon. You could use wheels and suspension to make a seal and use engines on the sabot to shoot it.

[@nishasiby5659]

This is cool are you a rocket scientist or something???

[@chriscarleton358]

You have built a gun. A flying gun. I love it XD

[@Quietkid69420]

11:52 Hey! You could put sheild plates on the sides of the rocket for protection

[@minmanthetinman]

Yes I love when someone uses a singe rocket engine

[@gameplayer6814]

This reminds me of the Star Wars scout drones on Hoth, except it’s way more overpowered.

[@anonymous_memer7397]

TRI POD HOVERCRAFT: 2 thrusters in the front facing down and one at the back facing diagonally down and backwards so the main thruster in the back provides speed and back lift while the front 2 are just keeping it upright. I think it would provide an interesting challenge because if you want to go faster your back will lift up so you will have to angle the back thruster up to keep it stable if you want to go faster.

[@casketrace6087]

You need to have another go at pod racing builds. 👍

[@Z.DeAllen]

5:40 You only need an OR gate, speed sensor, and an XOR gate for that setup. OR gate (LCtrl) and speed sensor go into the XOR, and the XOR connects to the thruster. Simple.

[@viking5730]

Thank you this helped me

[@lilyoftheflame]

I was wondering about that!

[@akunog5143]

Perhaps you could fix the thrust consistency by changing the way the altitude sensor works. When hovering stationary the sensor works by modulating thrust, but when moving forward the altitude sensor could modulate the angle of articulation on the hinge. So, if you want to go forward it will find the angle that you will go forward with max thrust. Because, if the angle is more horizontal you will put more force into forward than up and it will find a balance at some point.

[@oblivion098]

Double rocket jetpack like wings that can hover and fly like a plane.

[@letsdosomething6691]

You can do a trick i saw yuzi do with the thuster. If you set something like a distance sensor or altitude sensor to 0.02 on the space thruster then the space thruster will always be on technically and you will have instant power with the normal controls. You won’t have to wait for the ramp up. Works awesome and would help with the lowering altitude portion of this build.

[@locke_ytb]

Alright, this is way more interesting than the hoverbike idea I mentioned.

[@fabbio_henri]

I just got there, incredible content

[@1mariomaniac]

I have an idea for thruster yaw and strafing. Before when you had the thruster rotate I had the idea of using a piston to push a weight out the back of the creation, that would shift the center of mass so that the thruster strafes the creation instead of rotating it. The reason it was rotating was due to the thrust vector being offset relative to the center of mass, think of it kinda like trying to push only the right side of a couch, it'll rotate.

[@GamingEqualsPain]

Video idea: build a plane with the biggest wings possible and fight the airborne pirates.

[@Gooberdinkle]

What if you and the boys had drone battles with similar designs to this one

[@SpecialFX99]

Fun build! Have you ever considered doing different aesthetics for each build just to add another point of interest? Maybe take user suggestions? I'd love to see a vehicle with the Gulf Racing livery

[@AkushevDmitry]

The NOT gate idea is solid, but a small way to make it more efficient - Remove the OR and assign the keybind to the XOR gate directly.

[@AkushevDmitry]

Also - Bonus ideas - Add an additional Speed Sensor set to a higher speed (5-10KPH) that doesn't get turned off if you press LCtrl. That will prevent you from falling too fast. - Add left/right/forward/back Speed Sensors with similar NOT gates feeding into AND gates to control the hinges when you're not actively controlling the vehicle, to stabilize the direction automatically.

[@LoPhatKao]

[@johncage5368]

Great build!

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

It's like a WW2 crackpot one legged Tank... but modded to become actually awesome! :D

[@ShawnHCorey]

GG. You should add a second speed sensor that controls your descent. With it, you can always land safely.

[@Krysgann1]

What kind of monster uses q and e for strafeing

[@crescentx3]

New challenge idea: This one thruster idea but NO inertia blocks! Thrust vectoring for stability as well!!

[@thetruetri5106]

If you would tilt the rocket engine further it would need to stay on more in order to still remain altitude as well as accalerate you more in the direction you want to go (as more of the thrust goes towards that direction) only risk is you may be unable to hold your altitude at all if you tilt too much

[@ToaDrakua]

Some multiplayer challenges based on these experiments might be cool.

[@TheCaptNoname]

Wow, you've made something befitting the Jets'n'Guns game! lol

[@Captain_Echo]

This is interesting, i like these experiments lol

[@DanyF02]

You should add a speed sensor that turns the rocket back on when you go down too fast even if you're holding CTRL, that way you could press CTRL to go down carefree without risking death.

[@baxterboy123yt]

Anyone else notice it says singe not single?

[@WarrenTaylor-vg8zr]

If trailmakers had advanced programming, could have used a cosectant (a kind of trigonometry) to make the thruster stronger or weaker depending on the angle of the thruster.

Could you add a selection circuit to reduce your downwards velocity?

[@SpiderElf-jz6se]

[@SMNR777]

You always build cool stuff, my building game is weak 😅

[@embergamedev]

at 4:52 this is such a pain to make every time I want to implement something with a NOT gate. Trailmakers devs please hear my plea. Make the simple and humble NOT gate for this exact reason. I understand why we don't have other gates (because you can make them with the core gates easily.) But a NOT gate is literally just inversing a signal. I shouldn't have to use an always triggered Distance sensor facing a block configured to an XOR combined with the other signal I want the inverse of in order to create a clumsy NOT gate.

[@KochiYabao]

you could try to move the center of mass of the vehicle or move the thruster back and forth
