How to recreate the force

Postby manored » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:00 pm

I posted this on the stick about the force, but since no one answered (I believe its because people dont pay attention to sticks anymore since they are always up there), I will copy to here:

Im having problems to recreate the force: the overlaping segment that is supposed to receive the force that will cause the stuff to spin either is lauched in the wrong direction or breaks... tips?

In an ideal world, where anything and everything is in perfect form, is there a perfect form of imperfection?

Uh, flip it. It'll go in the opposite direction.

And if it breaks (immediately) move the node away from the bar!

I got it now! I had understand the whole thing wrong... now, any tips to make a machine that stops acelerating after reaching a certain speed instead of acelerating until boom? :)

Friction against something else. If i need a piston, I put cloth near it so the piston rubs against it, slowing it down.

Or you can reinforce it. I did this with wheel. It allows the wheel to spin as fast as it wants.

The thread the level's in is "High RPM Safe Force". I think it's in Building tips.

You can make stable force paddles. Im not sure if it can be done with the more powerful ones (i think i've seen it done though), you can use the classic one metal sheet and 2 bars and those generally dont break unless you make an uber-one...
