Herro :)

Im very new to modding on cortex and i have an idea for my first mod, but to do this i want to make a car-like craft with main thrusters on one side facing sideways as opposed to down.

I have checked out the tutorials and didn't find anything to help me so if you have a link to a tutorial or a template or some advice?

thankies

Try repositioning the main thruster. Bear in mind that this way, the craft can't be steered. It can only go forward.

aaah right, thanks

but do you know how to alter the angle?
so its like blasting it along as oppossed to it flipping?

There's a variable...
Something angle. No spaces.

Code:
<tab>EmissionAngle = Matrix
<tab><tab>AngleDegrees = X

0 is to the right of the emitter, 90 up, -90 down, and 180 to the left.

You put it where you define the emitter. You can make a copy of Rocket MKI's main thruster to try it out and set the rotation then, like so:
Code:
AddEffect = AEmitter
<tab>CopyOf = Rocket MK1 Main Thruster
<tab>PresetName = RMKI Main 90
<tab>EmissionAngle = Matrix
<tab><tab>AngleDegrees = 90


If you attached that to a rocket, it should emit 90 counterclockwise of where it usually emits.
