You forgot Speedo timing.  Unless I'm the only one who does that. ^^;

[mwhite112393]

@ITman496 that's not a major timing method. I've actually never even heard of that. How does it work?

[ITman496]

@mwhite112393 yeah, my timing system is all in an e2 now as well. Was clarifying just in case.  Awesome engines, btw :D Now, off to gmod to.. make engines. or something.

[mwhite112393]

@ITman496 I'm aware of the Sign chip, I used it quite a bit way back when I didn't know E2.

[ITman496]

@mwhite112393 Sort of.. when I said sign I meant the sign chip, not sin chip. Sign takes any positive number and outputs 1, 0 outputs zero, and any negative number outputs -1. Then thats multiplied. When the piston is moving outwards, you get a negative velocity on the Z axis of the speedo, giving -1, multiplied by throttle to pull the thruster up. Then the crank forces it to stop and momentum spins the crank, pulling the thruster down, giving the speedo a positive, pushing the thruster.

[mwhite112393]

@ITman496 I think I get it. that's actually pretty novel. So, it's like a sin() engine that uses a wave to control the thrust output? Neat, good job.

[ITman496]

@ITman496 otherwise it screws up, unless the engine movement is verticle. But if its horizontal, its fine. So if the pistons move in the same direction of movement, it messes up. However, use a BRD to rotate power 90 degrees, and its fine.

if you want to see a working example, I can make one in gmod right in front of you. =)

[ITman496]

@mwhite112393 Its really simple. I invented it. You put a speedo on the piston/slapper, feed its Z value into a sign chip, multiply that, and you have your thruster plug into that, negate as required.

its nice because no matter what angle you are at engine wise, it always works, and its 100% efficient, since you do not program timing into it, it goes to the limits of the crank. and it pushes and pulls.  The disadvantages are that it can only be used perpendicular to movement direction, as--

@Kiramitsuoka Well, thanks, I'm not sure exactly what is so helpful about it.

You should see my 2 part engine building tutorial which is in my opinion is much more informative.

@mwhite112393 For this I thank you a trillion times!
