Welcome to another episode of Trailmakers! Today I want to experiment with a strange effect that the magnets (tractor beams) seem to have when swinging around heavy objects. They seem to stretch a way from the magnet and then quickly return like a rubber band. Can I use this to create a magnetic launcher?

About Trailmakers:
In the toughest motoring expedition in the universe, you and your friends will build your own vehicles to cross a dangerous wasteland. Explore, crash horribly, use your wits to build a better rig, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find on your way.
Welcome to the Ultimate Expedition!
Journey over grueling mountains, hazardous swamps, and bone-dry deserts on a distant world far from civilization - it is just you, your fellow adventurers and the amazing, jet-powered hover-buggy you built yourself. Explore, crash your vehicle, build a better one, and get as far as you can with whatever spare parts you find along your way.
Trailmakers is about building very awesome vehicles and machines, but you don’t need an engineering degree to get started. The intuitive builder will get you going in no time. Everything you build is made from physical building blocks. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined the possibilities are endless.
Expedition Mode is the challenging campaign mode of Trailmakers. You are competing in an off-world rally expedition with only a few building blocks to get you started. You must build, tinker with and rebuild your machine to progress. Journey through a big world, overcome deep gorges, angry wildlife and dangerous weather to progress and find new parts that will juice up your machine. The world in Expedition Mode will test your survival skills and ingenuity.
Sandbox Mode is where you want to head for an unrestricted, sandbox, vehicle-building experience. Here you can build anything you can dream of, and play around with it in the world of Trailmakers. It is a great place to test out crazy machines, and experiment with the physics engine. With tons of different blocks, hinges, thrusters and interactive vehicle parts - the skybox is the limit.
Trailmakers is even more fun if you play it with other people. Build cool vehicles and compete in mini-game modes with your friends or other Trailmakers online. Build a helicopter, send it to your friend, and shoot them out of the sky. Put two seats on a tank, and let your friend control the turret. As we get further in Early Access development Expedition Mode will also be adapted to multiplayer.

As a coder, I'm fairly sure the magnet is implemented as a non-rotating, non-flexing spring, with a target length to keep the object right in front of the magnet. Once the magnet "locks on" to an object, that object is then attached to the end of the spring. There's a possibility that there exists a max force or max length on the spring, and if you go over that force/length, the spring disconnects. Just a hunch though. Edit: After watching the video, it's probably two springs. One for the distance to the magnet, and one to have some flex from that point.

@Hadeks_Marow 8 месяцев назад

The issue is your anchor blocks. Blocks that are anchored do NOT like moving parts. Rigidity fighting against the flexibility needed to carry momentum. You want stability? Ditch the anchor blocks and just make a VERY wide and heavy base with some mini-thruster downforce.

@Hadeks_Marow 8 месяцев назад

@@serpentinious7745 I think at best case scenario it would only dampen it. However, that would create OTHER issues. You have a spinning thing. . . on top of a spring. You do the math. Instead of jittering, it would lean left and right. Like an inflatable punching bag after being punched.

@Daniel-sy6gs 8 месяцев назад

Wide bass with anchored blocks on the corners? I think the instability is caused by the entire creation pivoting on a single anchor block in the centre and glitching into the ground.

@serpentinious7745 8 месяцев назад

@Hadeks_Marow That makes sense. Didn't you say it needs some flexibility? So, is there a different block that might work?

What if you made an actual whip out of magnets? Basically, you’d chain modules of magnet-weight combos in front of each other to make a long chain of connecting magnets. Each module may need a distance sensor on it facing the weights for a constant on signal for the magnets, but if done correctly the result may be interesting

These experimental build episodes are brilliant, and this one was especially entertaining... although the spinning "beyblade" bomber and AA cannon block are still the most epic (I really want to see those two go head-to-head). I hope the Trailmakers coders are seeing these videos and taking notes for future physics debugging.

@alexandretherrien1234 8 месяцев назад

When the creation starts to break itself (the wobble) , try respawning your creation (not just repairing). I think sometime, respawning to a new position fixes the problem.

@JJP1890 8 месяцев назад

You could try the same design but go for a trebuchet style swing under and back then up and over or you could try using pistons to instantly move the tractor beam away from the weight then release the weight as it caches up to the tractor beam almost like a ballista. Also could make use of this interaction for a spinning battle bot or beyblade build.

@jakecrocker4006 8 месяцев назад

@SpectralSpartan 8 месяцев назад

Hey @ScrapMan, I'd really love to see more of this kind of build. I think if you took more steps to ensure stability of your structure you could get a lot better performance out of swinging it around. Maybe add trusses going forward and back at 45° downward on the main legs and line them with anchor points.

@SpectralSpartan 8 месяцев назад

Also, is there any way you can gradually accelerate the rotating arm, rather than immediately accelerating to full speed? It might reduce the jerkiness of the magnet if you casually add momentum. Also, as seen with the giant bomb, it's far more stable with heavier objects, so try doing something with a larger, much heavier projectile!👍

@xenogryph7169 8 месяцев назад

Might be able to make a Spin Launch? make a circular track around your magnet launcher to keep an object in place and gain momentum. Put wheels on an object to keep it moving without colliding with the wall and put release blocks that simultaneously remove a section of the track, remove the wheels from the object and disengage the magnet at the same time?

@DerpTreeNerffin 8 месяцев назад

If the magnet/tractor beam attaches a block, what if you spin the magnet itself? Kinda would like to see something out of that, maybe a magnet helicopter if it works

@nikkiofthevalley 8 месяцев назад

... It won't work. You have just watched a video that demonstrated exactly why it won't. The heli would be insanely unstable because of the up/down movement.

@Loop_Kat 8 месяцев назад

Just tested this. If you place a helicopter blade arrangement directly on top of the tractor beam (ex: two 2x1 blocks with 4 helicopter blades) and set a distance sensor to automatically turn the tractor beam as soon as the vehicle spawns, the "loose" blades do seem to attach quite solidly to the tractor beams However, this is an extremely inefficient setup because engines/servos lose a ton of speed from trying to spin an additional 7.5kg of weight, they seem to only spin at maybe 25% of the full engine/servo speed. And, considering how wacky the tractor beam physics become at higher speeds/forces, even if you could manage to regain that rotational speed deficit, they'd probably just implode anyway

@bonesciencegaming3863 8 месяцев назад

Scrapman, I’ve had the logic not working issue just like with the seat throwing version, for some reason if you move the logic to your seat and then back to another spot on the creation it workes again, dunno why it just works, I found this out when working on my aircraft carrier

@UnknownKoza 8 месяцев назад

What if you were to put a servo or a gyro on the thrown object itself? Would it allow for more consistent throws?

@SoupRoutine 8 месяцев назад

Wonder if you could use this concept to make something that functions similarly to a coilgun or railgun. A series of magnets triggered on/off by sensors to propel something at high speeds. Not sure if it's actually possible with Trailmakers physics but it would be interesting to see if it was.

@thefaulnt3562 8 месяцев назад

Do you mean a normal railgun or a tractor beam whip rail gun? If you mean normal railgun, then yes it was (maybe still is) possible and was showcased in an old trailmakers showcase on this channel.

@danielpalecek4090 8 месяцев назад

similar happens with every joint that has it's own grid, trailmakers jellyfish engines often use a servo to glitch a suspension then use suspension's glitch rotation force to glitch the servo then use the servo's glitch force either to make you go fast or to glitch out "quaternion rounding" which basicly makes the vehicle rotate in 4 dimensions and causes more funny glitches.

@danielpalecek4090 8 месяцев назад

alternative is the dzhanibekov jellyfish drive which works in every game including trailmakers and minecraft.

@kadendavis4098 8 месяцев назад

Could you make the magnet static and somehow make the weight move in a straight line away under its own power (like with thrusters or something). Then turn the thrusters off and move the magnet out of the way at the last second, sort of like a crossbow I guess but different.

@MrJoesephwhetsel 8 месяцев назад

@chkball1 8 месяцев назад

One thing that in theory would improve it but would probably break it instead: to crack a whip a human uses 2 rods, a connection point, and 3 rotation points (aka an arm and hand.) by adding at least 1 more rod and rotation point you could give the projectile more forward momentum

@user-hh7uh7yn3j 8 месяцев назад

Ok I think i have figured this out , well a tiny part of it: He has to have another block on to the rotating server so it doesn't bump into the bottom part or, ''Base Pole'' to make sure it doesn't break easier (I am Kind of new but I think that is the problem) :]

@Kioshi_Ryuu 8 месяцев назад

I feel like we should call this invention the "Mag Lash" since it uses the magnetic force to propel a projectile with the backlash of the swing... also it seems to be just as likely to lash out at the operator as it is to propel a projectile 🤣

@barefootalien 8 месяцев назад

Hmm... the length seems to be acting a little like a flywheel, not increasing the power as you'd instinctively think, but increasing stability at the _expense_ of power. Also, I think spinning is a mistake. With an actual bull whip, you only spin it if all you care about is the noise, and accuracy isn't a concern. If you want to hit a target, i.e. use a whip as a weapon, you flick it on a vertical plane toward the target. So something more like a vertical semi-circle that starts moving, releases the detachable block part way through the back-swing, then releases the tractor beam part way through the follow-through once it's given it a bit of upward momentum, might work better. Edit: lol, you came up with it a few minutes later yourself. xD

@TTIOttio 8 месяцев назад

Scrap, you're great, but you really gotta study some mechanics (as in the subset of maths). Increasing the length of course reduces the speed, it's travelling further. The counterweight is a good idea but you're dropping it too early, you should drop it at the same time as the projectile. Otherwise your centre of mass isn't over the central beam. You've gotta put in more supports for that central beam, to resist the force.
