Modular Aircraft Studio

If you’ve ever played Kerbal Space Program youl love this.

I spent yesterday and today making a little modular aircraft making system similar to what KSP uses.

-Click a part and drag it to its position and click.
-Must start with the “Front” part
-Press “m” while hovering over a part to mirror it to the other side.
-Click on a wing to change the dimensions of the wing.

Still kinda glitchy but I think il expand it alot more, its kinda cool I think :stuck_out_tongue:

Airbus Quenty.

Maximum lift achieved, sir.

This place is actually really cool though, it’d turn out to be a nice game if you added more modules and a flight mode :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh I didn’t see this thread before going there. That might be why the “Front” button completely broke on me.

FTFY

Went for a bit more of a traditional aircraft with this one:

And then this lil thing because why not:

It’s a nice start, but it’s far from perfect in my opinion. I really like what you have so far, don’t get me wrong, but here’s some things I’d like to see improved (in no particular order):
[ul]
[li]Modifying wings that aren’t horizontal was laggy and glitchy for me. I’m guessing your triangle placement code is messing something up.[/li]
[li]I could not place anything on my wings. I was going to put my engines on the wings but couldn’t do that.[/li]
[li]Engines have a fixed size. Would be nice if you could modify their length and diameter (as well as the length of their attachment).[/li]
[li]I’d like the ability to pick up and move parts.[/li]
[li]I couldn’t figure out how to delete parts, so any time I made a mistake I had to remove the whole plane and start over.[/li]
[li]Resetting the plane left the wing modify arrows in place[/li]
[li]Would be nice if we could place wings at more angles, not only right angles.[/li]
[li]Pressing M on an engine would place the mirrored engine at a different height than the original. [/li]
[/ul]

Other than that, I want to fly my plane. I think a flight mode would be really cool. Great work so far, keep it up!

IF you make a full out plane game with that customization, that will be a very successful game, I would play it for sure :smiley:

Awesome job on it, I will try it out later.

Volcano thanks for your through reply I appreciate it! I was going to follow through with almost everything you said already besides the engine sizing (Theres gonna be bigger/smaller/different types of engines.)

I made the mirroring work a bit better and now you can add radial parts onto wing surfaces, il try to fix that vertical wing modification, CFrames don’t like me apparently.

I tried:

Fyi, the distance returned by handles.MouseDrag is the distance from the original position, not the position from the previous frame.

Oh derp… Thats why it was being weird
