Hey everyone! First time posting on the sub, although i’ve been a fan of Trailmakers for a while now, and i finally figured out how to make the aiming sensor work! I haven’t seen any tutorials on youtube, so i figured it would be beneficial for you guys. It’s honestly pretty simple, so here’s the break down- Place your aiming servo down wherever you like, and set the angle to 360 degrees. Make sure mute on input or whatever it’s called is on and trigger outside blocks off. place down an Arithmetic logic gate, set to multiply. place down a gyro, and remove the inputs for left and right, or up and down. make the aiming sensor trigger out to the logic gate, and make that trigger the gyro. you can also make engines, and i can’t remember but they need to be triggered by either th sensor or logic gate. for vertical contro, make the gyro and sensor vertical, and it works the same way. you can flip the gyro if it’s inverted, and adjust the strength accordingly. make sure you have a gyro stabilizer on there somewhere, it will flip around if not. i suck at making complex things in trailmakers, but i was even able to stick a missile made like this on a tank and shoot it. bonus tip- for making missiles/ detachable things, make sure your base is heavy because engines continuously run with this setup. also, if you put a radio sender on your seat, put a receiver on the detachable devic, connect that to a camera drone, you can follow it. I hope this helps anyone who was confused!

Every time i boot up a gamecube or psp game using ES-DE on my steam deck, it shows the little box saying “starting (game)“ then it does a quick black screen then back to menu. no error, nothing. i have tried resetting the emulator configuration, reinstalling the emulators, reinstalling and resetting the configuration on ES-DE, and i’ve got the same results. It also did it to my wii u games on Cemu but i fixed it by reinstalling it. I know it has to be an issue with ES-DE because i went to the file directory on desktop mode and was able to run my gamecube ROMs through dolphin, because it asked which software i wanted to use and i was able to use a separate download of dolphin i had. I checked the log on ES-DE and it said “failed to run gif bootup/themes/adriot/deck/home or something, so i changed th theme from adriot and same thing, no error log though. i’m completely stumped its been probably 2 hours now. all help appreciated For emulators im using dolphin for GC and ppsspp for psp.

i’m currently building the dark angels combat patrol, and was wondering if i absolutely had to follow the specific instructions for combat patrol rules. i think one of the variants for the sergeant looks better, and was wondering if it’s ok to build it th different way but still play the same as the datacar. all help appreciated
