Physics Thruster, how to use?

[malospam]

hello I have some questions regarding the physics thruster component that you can add to the player. I looked in the manual and I could not find any information on how to use it . And on the forums there are several posts in which people asked for help on how to use the thruster but nobody answered . Basically I want to know how to add force with the thruster component . That's all it's relatively simple. If I have overlooked something please forgive me for writing about it . thank you and I hope somebody can help me.

It's very simple. If you look at the details of your physics thruster component you will see it has a "Thrust Strength" variable. Just set that variable in your blueprint to whatever you want it to be.

If you're new to blueprints you should look at the sticky thread in this forum section, it has links to a bunch of good basic tutorials.

If you add a thruster component to your blueprint and click on it, this is what your details panel will look like:



Change that number to whatever you like for the thruster to apply a constant force. As it says in the physics thruster tooltip, you point its X axis in the direction you want it to thrust.

Something like this is all you have to do to thrust something forward and back:

Thanks for the info, I'm not a newbie, but when I try new things, its hard for me to understand them without a good amount of documentation. Thanks guys that's helpful!
