[FREE PROJECT] Physics Driven Spacecraft

[Jacky]

Hello everyone,

I have shown a couple of videos on a physics driven space sim kind of game in this thread of mine before and today i'm finally sharing the whole project with you. Feel free to use it's contents in your own commercial/non-commercial projects(all the meshes are placeholders though, so i wouldnt use them in a released project...)

I'll upload an updated video later today.


I tried to comment everything as much as i could but please post here if you see anything absurd or confusing and i'll explain. There are also a couple of minor bugs but it's up to you to fix them if you happen to run into them as i dont think i'll be working on this project anymore.

İnsan kendi forumunda da paylaşır ha?

Awesome! thanks a bunch. Can't wait to check it out.

I've updated the video and the project as well; ran into a couple of things i had missed regarding the landing system in ViperBP but it's all good now.

Enjoy!

nice, thanks man!

thanks

holy cow this things difficult to control haha. very awesome though

You rock! Thanks!

I look for the missiles

Yeah, when i first started the project it made me appreciate gravity and friction even more. :P

You can use ViperMissile BP. Keep in mind that it's physics and collision is disabled until it gets fired in order to prevent some collision issues i ran into at high velocity.

You can make the missile ignore its owner entirely using the "Ignore Actor When Moving Node", I ran into these same issues with high velocity characters and projectiles.

It's kind of a wonky node, I can't remember if I put it on the projectile or the character or both.

Velocity Inheritance is important too, without it you can easily run into your projectiles

Good to know, thanks!

For bullets i just disabled weapons after certain velocity since they are spawned as you fire anyway so they dont cause the same collision issue as attached components.

This project is fantastic I love the way it feels.

Is there an easy way to set up the controls differently? I'm looking to get them closer to Star Citizen with Q/E as roll, and Mouse X to turn direct right and left without the roll.

[MENTION=63]Jacky[/MENTION] deserves a Dev Grant for this, as the BP docs are so 'inútil'!
