How do you change the angle of an exit on a craft? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure you can.

Rockets and crates always have left/right facing exits and dropships have down facing exists.

Edit:



That's not it.
He's asking about changing the angle.

Like, making the exit at 45 degrees so actors can eject diagonally.

Since vectors can be represented as angle and magnitude, couldn't you set a vector exclusively on those two?

The velocity tells you where its facing and how fast the actor shot out will fly. (IE x = -15 y = - 15 will shoot the actor out diagonally with a velocity of 15)

Edit:
MaximDude, yes it is, try it.

If it was that simple, wouldn't somebody do it by now?
I don't recall ever seeing a craft with angeled exits.



Its something different.
The exit itself still stays the same.

I've done it, and if I recall correctly, it was velocity.

Thanks Roon, that did it.

EDIT: I have another question. Is there a way to keep crafts from scuttling from being upside-down?

Well....no. You could make the game flip the craft and change the sprite when it's are upside down (so it still looks upside down), but that won't change any of your offsets.

Make the down thruster really freaking powerful and it could lift your craft up while it's upside down. I've found lighter craft, like small rockets (eg AAL Cannonball) can do this pretty easily.

Yes, but it'll still auto scuttle.

People are saying tilted exit angles are impossible, obviously nobody ever downloaded my Oil Faction, my dropship had tilted exits.
*Feels abandoned*

Couldn't that be done by repeatedly forcing the ship out of AIMODE_SCUTTLE when upside-down? I recall seeing that somewhere in the forums...

That prevents manual scuttle.
You cant ajust status, btw.
