Rotator Thrusters
{ 17000
features=THRUSTER|ROTATOR
-- Similar fields to those of turreted weapons.
rotatorSpeed=6
rotatorLimit=pi -- *
-- Other thruster fields are identical:
thrusterForce=50000
thrusterBoost=2.0
thrusterBoostTime=3.0
thrusterColor=0xFFFFFFFF
thrusterColor1=0xFFFFFFFF
}
A basic rotator thruster to show that it rotates weirdly with different player control schemes:
Rotator Limit Bug
The field rotatorLimit
is bugged such that the rotator thruster always faces towards the front of the ship instead of the front of the block as one would expect.
Here is an example of 4 rotator thrusters with turretLimit=pi
using the scale 2 CANNON
shape to show that they face outwards from the command:
{ 17000
features=PALETTE|THRUSTER|ROTATOR
shape=CANNON
scale=2
rotatorLimit=pi
}
And here is the same thing but with turretLimit=0
:
{ 17000
features=PALETTE|THRUSTER|ROTATOR
shape=CANNON
scale=2
rotatorLimit=0
}
