Controlling 'Stuff' Remotely | Space Engineers 

Haha! That's great! That's the second time I've been compared to Master Neeson. ;) I'm pleased the tutorial helped Scaarub. All the best to you.

Ah thank you so much Triggerman! That's really kind of you!

Pleased you found it and even better that it helped. I appreciate the subscription. But sadly I'm not spending much time with SE these days. However there are a shed load of videos already done on my channel with stuff you might find useful. Thanks again for the sub and for commenting. Best wishes CjBro

Same.

Thanks Scott. So sorry I'm not keeping up to date with SE but subscribing is like a thank you to me. I appreciate that. Now you just have to start binging the 7 days to die videos haha. All the best to you.

You're welcome. I'm pleased it's still helpful.

You're welcome I'm pleased it was useful.

Some friends and I just got this as well here in Norway. I guess we are late to the party as well, but you're not alone :) And thanks to Tallman Brad as well for this video, I have been munching up a lot of Space Engineers tutorials lately. :)

You're very welcome and thank you for commenting all the way from beautiful Norway.

Thanks King. I'm pleased this was useful. I appreciate the feedback.

Most welcome. I'm pleased it was helpful.

Thank you

Oooh that's a good one. Let me have a think about a scenario I could use to demo that and I'll see what I can do. Great suggestion Croc! Thanks!

It's so long since I played I'm afraid I can't remember exactly how things worked. Have a look at the other comments and see if anything there helps.

Ah yeah there's plenty of other things to build. Just thought that was a good example to use.

@@TallmanBradGameplay I bought the game a few months back, and ur vid made me want to play it again. Thx for helping me with some basics, otherwise, I'd be totally lost!

You're very welcome Peris. I haven't played the game in a while myself!

@@TallmanBradGameplay I dont know, my remore controls dont work at all no matter what i do, it seems to just not connect when i press "control" nothing changes and i stay in the control seat as if nothing has happend

I'm pleased the tutorial was useful. I'm not sure why you're getting that message to be honest. If you're running on a server there could be limitations in place. I know some servers used to restrict the use of certain things that were resource heavy. Not heard of remotes being an issue though

@@TallmanBradGameplay just with my friend. im Hosting. but guess what after 3 hours and 3 restarts it just randomly worked. it also happens That my friend can access our base and i cant occasionally. i dont know ^^ non there less thank you for making me understand the remote Controller enough so i know Something was odd ^^

I've had a similar problem with 2 vehicles that dock together (a wheeled transporter and a flying vehicle). I can control the transporter from the flying vehicle. But not the the other way round. There seems to be a hierarchy in place that I can't get round. The 2 vehicles I'm talking about are normally on the roof of my base, if you're wondering which they are. Michael I'm going to have another play with them when I get time and see if I can solve this problem as I think it is connected to what you're experiencing. You could test it by dropping a temporary seat on your drone but still remote connect to it instead of controlling it directly. I hope this makes sense?

Oh have you got the connector that is on the drone set as a hotbar button ON the drone?

@@TallmanBradGameplay Yes i do have the drone connector on the drone hotbar. I try a seat on the drone with no luck. It looks like once you connect your ship to the base it is not listed in remote access. This works quite well, i placed a control seat on my base and put the drone remote control on it's hotbar.

There's a section in the video about camera speed adjustments. It could be the speed is so low it looks like it's not moving. That info might be in the Spectator Cam video. I'm sorry it was so long ago I'm struggling to remember.

@@TallmanBradGameplay i thought so too at first... i figured it out though. Turns out I was putting the control block on upside down and it was inverting the controls and making my camera look wrong.

Oooh no way! Haha. I hadn't even thought of that! So simple. I'm pleased you got it sorted.

I'm not entirely sure. It's a couple of years since I played with SE. But shouldn't the cockpit be set as main in order for you to have control? Really sorry I'm not much help here.

@@TallmanBradGameplay it’s no problem it’s just the suit control that dissent work

Ahh. Using remote control? I'm pretty sure that system will have changed since I last played. It was janky back then. I'd hope they've tidied that up.

The wheels are classed as separate grids when they are on pistons. You'd need a script to control them for you as it would be like remote controlling 4 different vehicles! Unfortunately I don't know the name of the scripts but I'm sure it will pop up if you search for "wheel control". I hope this helps. All the best.

I found a way to do it without scripts although it gets a bit wonky as you approach 100m/s

I've never used it I'm afraid, so I'd be learning how to use it myself first. Let me have a look at it and I'll see what I can do.

@@TallmanBradGameplay Thank you for the reply have a great day. Going to put some of the stuff i learned to day by binging you videos haha. After word im going to check out your other playlist for sure.

Thanks James. The 7 days to die stuff is good fun for a bit of a laugh. If you've never played it, it's space engineers with zombies instead of space haha.

I'm really sorry ace. It's been a while since I played SE. Nothing is springing to mind. If you own the ship and have the antenna configured I can't think of anything else.

Probably too late, you need to grind the control seat completely and rebuild it

Good point. Yeah that was (is) definitely a thing.

If you look at this video once he's out of range from the Rover he gets the same messages. Probably means that whatever you're trying to control is out of range from the antennas

I'm afraid I've never tried. Really sorry I can't help with this.

I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.

I'm really not sure. It's a long time since I messed with SE. It could be a range issue, or ownership. Another comment suggests bringing the control seat to make sure you have ownership. Or there could be a bug. Antenna never were particularly straightforward which was why I did the video originally. However that was a couple of years ago and some things may have changed since then. I'm sorry again and I hope you manage to get it sorted. If you do find a solution it might be helpful to others if you post it here?

@@TallmanBradGameplay the issue was, that the small vessel, acts like it is part of the other grid, while it is docked. so in order to remote controll, i had to undock first.

Thanks for letting us know. Hopefully this may help others.​@@BlackRainEntertain

Might not be available on the xbox. Sorry.
