trailers and destruction

[GodKingfaves]

anytime i try to attach a trailer to another vehicle or for that matter any of the connectors everything just goes flying in 1000 peices

[Trance]

Try to bring the coupler of the vehicle as close to the coupler of the trailer as you can. The closer they are the less destruction there'll be. Also if the vehicle coupler is higher, or lower than the trailer coupler then it has a higher chance of destroying itself. When you hook the couplers together they literally snap into place and the farther away they are the more damage will be done when you couple them.

I think actually what hes refering to may be a new bug. I had no problems some updates ago getting couples together, now they'll throw everything in all directions the moment they connect. Oddly they'll still be coupled too, so you drag things miles appart from their connector.

well i tried it with my gravedigger and trailer, no problem there, detaching trailer, driving for a while and reattaching, everything went fine. tested it in grid and desert map.

wich creations blow in 1000 pieces ? maybe there is a design height flaw like trance mentioned

Same Problem here with trailers. For example: I have spawned 2 of my Trabants. I detach the caravan from the first Trabant and would like to attach the caravan trailer to the second Trabant. The Trabant fly up and destroy itself, the trailer touch the ground and destroy itself too. With the first Trabant there is a 50/50 chance for no problems. My Steinwinter 2040 Under Cab truck have another kind of this problem, it is impossible to detach and reattach it's Cargo trailer without issues.

Als Beispiel. Ich habe 2 von meinen Trabanten mit Anhänger gespawt. Ich kuppel an beiden den Hänger ab, und möchte mit dem zweiten Trabant den Anhänger des ersten Trabanten anhängen. Der Trabi zerspringt direkt in 1000 Teile oder fliegt irgendwo auf der Map hin, der Anhänger bohrt sich hingegen in den Boden und zerlegt sich ebenfalls selber. Mit dem Original zum Anhänger passenden Trabi besteht immerhin eine 50/50 Chance dass der Ankuppelvorgang glatt geht. Wobei auch hier ein minimales in die Luft springen des Trabis zu sehen ist.

tested your trabants, the jump a bit -> either 1-2 parts break at the end of the caravan (those curved corners) or some parts of the bumber near the coupler.

added 2 2x1x1s pieces so that the caravan stays balanced when decoupled and there where no issues switching caravans. even the jump was nullified.

still there might be an issue when engaging coupler, maybe to much force is applied, or the timing with enableing merge/invulnerbility but thats for fluppi to look at.

Have you used the trailer support? With alt+W/S you can raise or lower them, they are exact adjustet to balance the trailer without car.

Hast du die ausfahrbare Stütze vom Hänger benutzt? Die sind genau dazu da, damit der Hänger genau ausbalanciert stehen bleibt. :D

[Verdeth]

woops did not pay attention to those, well still no issues on my end

[Keks]

Hmm, really strange.

[TT]

Just tried one of my old truck and trailers, this one works fine. I think this problem might be more related to mass of objects, but I'd need to do a bit more testing on different machines before it becomes clear.

[GodKingfaves]

weird, at first i had them far away and i thought to my self well maybe i just need them closer. so i moved them almost 100% spot on to where it actually connects and it still just rips everything apart

Verdeth, kannst du dir auch noch den anderen meiner Trabis ausm Workshop laden und versuchen, den Klaufix gegen den Camping Anhänger zu tauschen? Nach etwas Gefummel hier und da, klappt das an und ab kuppeln am ursprünglichen Zugfahrzeug recht zuverlässig. Nur beim Tausch der Anhänger gibts Klump. :D Wobei die Trabis vom Grundaufbau recht identisch sind und nicht die Deichselstütze vergesen. :D

P.S. Ich könnt schwören dass ist dein Warhammer Tank? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=923075360&searchtext=

oh man schon wieder ein copy cat.... ich schau gleich mal mom

als camper -> camper und klaufix -> klaufix kein problem, ABER klaufix -> camper.... sagen wir so ich hab sehr interessantes bildmaterial aufgenommen.

[Keks]

Interessantes Bildmaterial? Ja, trifft es durchaus. :D Und ja, meine Ostzonenkarren muss man halt mögen... :D
