Turret control

[Dima]

How to make the turret look at where the camera is looking at ?
The robotic pivot is limited and the velocity pivot is not reliable and get out of sync at some point.

put two robotic pivot one on top another, and halve each their inputs, duh

If the velocity pivot gets out of sync that just means your or someone else's elementary math is off.

still limited

there are external force that can move it and is make a jump if the mouse input change from -49 to +49

both methods work but this is not a good solution

Ah, you're using the small one that doesn't report its location so you can't force it to that location but instead "work blindly" as it were.
Use the bigger one. :)
With that you can get the exact angle it's facing at all times as an output and work from there. Works fine with a very basic PID.

do people have to spell out everything for you? use 4 blocks to reach full 360.

You would still be limited by that. After turning enough clockwise you'd have to turn counter-clockwise because eventually you'll hit a limit.

Also stacking multiple pivots like this is a bad idea, because it stresses the physics engine.

Works better but still jumps around by .49 -.49 change of the mouse input. I think i wait for a workshop controler, thx
