one thing i'd really like to know is how to turn the jet engine on and off while keeping its physics on - when i hit the trigger that says animation off, the jet stays on. its really annoying because i had a bunch of ideas that needed this

I've just been having a play to see if I can get it to work but it seems like it is not possible to disable the turbine once you have activated it. You can disable physics completely and obviously that will stop it from moving entirely but the engine will continue to burn regardless.Originally Posted by Reaper392
Sorry I couldn't be mode help with this matter.
On the bright side I have got simple techniques down for the car and trebuchet tutorials so I will do my best to capture as I build so you can see exactly what is done through the whole process. Should have the videos edited and uploaded by end of Sunday and I'll post here when they are finished.
that explains why i couldnt do it then, although oneidea that might work has popped into my head, so i'll report back on thatOriginally Posted by EuphoricFusion

The car tutorial is now uploaded (still processing).

The trebuchet tutorial will be up some time tomorrow evening. It's not done yet because it's a pretty long tutorial and I haven't edited it yet but it should prove pretty helpful.
Both these videos show the objects built from scratch so you can see every step used to create them.
It's funny that right after I asked for your help with making a Trebuchet, I kept screwing around and figured out the physics for it and it worked out great, I just can't make it, let's say, pretty. lol I would love any ideas. I figured out the best design for the Boom Arm in my opinion, which was just as simple as it seems, but for something to work as a sling and a counter-weight. I just need some good ideas...Originally Posted by EuphoricFusionThe car tutorial is now uploaded (still processing).

The tutorial trebuchet is not pretty. It is just the bare bones of what is needed to get it to work consistently and so you can easily see the method behind it and the placement of the hinges.
If you like I can make a prettier version and add it at the end of the tutorial so you can see how I would decorate it if it helps.

The trebuchet tutorial is uploading as we speak. It's quite lenghty and weighs in at around 10 mins but it is very in depth and takes you through every step needed to create it.
I included a working trebuchet at the end in a test level environment so you can get some ideas for design structure aswell.
I'll post again when it's finished uploading.

I hope it explains everything clearly
Dude,
AWESOME tutorial. I can't wait to get my Xbox back and try that trebuchet out.
This is what the community needs, knowledge sharing!

Thanks mate. I know it's fairly complicated but I hope I explained everything clearly enough for people to follow.
