I try to do that with a hinge in my first script but. I am not so good with the hinge command and dont see alot of examples. Also did not get alot of feedback on that script it is at top of this post. I would like it if you could tell me how to couple 2 boxes one to be motor and one the boat then the newton engine could do its work and it would be simple.

If I us pointforce it still will not get the boat to sail in the direction it is pointing and it makes the boat sink I tryed that. And what do you mean with "make proper parenting". I dont have a sail or a motor. I am testing with a box.

It is not a sailboat but a motorboat I just want it to sail in the direction it is pointing even after I turn it. But it only does that at small angle after that it goes back wards and I dont know why.

I hope is more clear now

Hi All, I made changes to the script but it still does not make a normale circle when I steer it to left or right And help is welcome. I test it with a box.

Ok now I get just set it on BETA and dont enter a password. I had same problem

Hope it will be in 3.1 indie soon

Is not working it still works same as normal add force only it capsizes the boat. It does not change the forward direction. So you turn like you would using y axis torque but you stay moving in the same direction so boat ends up sailing backward.

Ok gona try it out thanks

How can you apply some force on a local point on the boat instead of the whole boat?

Hi all, I trying to make a script to make a boat sail. This script works. But to steer it I want to put the script in engine, and put it at the back of the boat(box2 is test box I us to simulate engine) and use a hinge to steer it with y axis. Problem is the hinge dont seem to work in this script I made: Script.enabled = true --bool "Enabled" Script.gravity = false --bool "Gravity" Script.movespeed = 10 Script.originPosition = nil Script.currentPosition = nil Script.oldMass = nil Script.window = Window:GetCurrent() Script.move = Vec3(0,0,0) Script.Parent = boat function Script:Start() self.originPosition = self.entity:GetPosition() self.oldMass = self.entity:GetMass() if self.entity:GetShadowMode()>0 then self.entity:SetShadowMode(2)--Light.Dynamic end if self.enabled then if self.entity:GetMass() == 0 then Debug:Error("Entity mass must be greater than zero.") end else self.entity:SetMass(0) end self.entity:SetGravityMode(self.gravity) self.entity:SetFriction(0,1) self.move = Vec3(0,0,0) self.parent = Model:Box(self.Parent) self.child = Model:Box(self.entity) self.joint = Joint:Hinge(0,10,0, 0,0,1, self.child, self.parent) self.joint:SetLimits(-45,45) self.joint:EnableLimits() end function Script:UpdatePhysics() self.move = Vec3(0,0,0) local movespeed = self.movespeed if (self.window:KeyDown(Key.Down)) then self.move.x= movespeed * Time:GetSpeed() end if (self.window:KeyDown(Key.Up)) then self.move.x= -1 * movespeed * Time:GetSpeed() end if (self.window:KeyDown(Key.Right)) then self.move.y= movespeed * Time:GetSpeed() end if (self.window:KeyDown(Key.Left)) then self.move.y= -1 * movespeed * Time:GetSpeed() end self.entity:AddForce(self.move.x,0,self.move.z) self.entity:AddTorque(0,self.move.y,0) Time:Update() end Does someone have some tips?

I have same soon as I step in to collision box I crash.

Sound great!!!

I hope there will be at least some good ocean water and a Reflect shader for us of cubemaps that you can tell how refletive it should be.

I dont see it in leadwerks 3.1 where is it?
