Ok, wasn't sure how to phrase that, but. I have entities attached to My "sauser" to make it do things. 3 thrusters on the bottom to make it spin. (attached to a switch to toggle it off & on) (a phy_motor wouldn't work) with a ballsocket on top to hold it while it spins. then I tried attaching a slide constraint to the ballsocket to make it move up at an angle.(also attached to a switch) but it won't move when the switch for it is pushed. Should the ballsocket be Parented to the constraint, or should the ballsocket be the "attached object" of the constraint? or are they 2 entities that don't work together? Also...Is there a way to have the player "drive/fly" an object via user controls. like make a entity that lets the player control it like a jeep, or perferably a Helicopter.
