How Do I Make Something Hover?

[CokedBadger]

Do I make rotors at the top all the same speed? Do I use weak propellers? A lot of balloons? What do I use in order to make things hover?

by making it hover

I wonder where everybody is, is anybody gonna help me?

you do know that you will probably get a quicker answer by looking it up on google, right

[CokedBadger]

Also to everybody coming in, I'm guessing I need mods, just telling people in advance

Positioned somewhere with no support to keep it from falling down

well you can use any of your previously thought of solutions. balloons are definitely the easiest.

But won't they slowly move it all up? Maybe I could put balloons at the top and put propellers on the bottom pointing down

What kind of machine are you trying to build, that would help a lot. Actually its easy, if you are looking to build a zeppelin like machine just make the weight of the machine equal to the amount of bouyancy the ballons offer, you will need a lot of trail and error but it will work in the end

[Xeno42]

well you could make a tether with ropes to prevent is from going to high. you can also change the lift of balloons to get them to be balanced with the weight of the craft and then your propellers to move the craft

Just a simple platform

Yeah

Wait, I just found this mod, invisible blocks

There are couple of ways making creation hover without invisible pack, all required with a usage of mod though.

>One Dimensional Spike ball
A spike ball block, but two of it's axis are scaled to 0. The spherical collision box will remain spherical as Besiege cannot scale spheres well.

>VES
Requires sufficient knowledge on Besiege game mechanics, utilizes strong one or two dimensional Spring block to keep creation leveled

>BES
Uses very very flat (x0.0001) brace to keep things leveled

>Strong positive/negative Balloon
Place a balloon on top grabbed by grabbers with a high positive value, while the balloon on the bottom grabbed by grabbers with a high negative value.

>Gyroscope
Not exactly for stabilzing creation, but rather dampening movements like jiggles. Can be made in vanilla
