So I've made a flying butterfly that behaves almost exactly as the attack bee 2.0, minus the ability to shoot, as it is required for grabbing instead for puzzle solving, without wings, the body flies beautifully, but when I attach the wings with wobble bolts, the momentum destabalises the whole thing and it becomes uncontrollable. By tuning the wobble bolt down I can make it rest in it's idle phase without problem, but as soon as I move again it starts flipping all over the place... I don't know if i can set the wings to have no wieght but still be physical objects rather than decorations (it just suits the level style better). I'm not so good at the physical level creation thing, but the logic I've started getting into. would perhaps a rotator and a loose bolt work better or would that also carry momentum that would break my butterfly? Thanks in advance -W_B_C

Yo. Attaching anti grav tweaks to the wing's should make them weightless and help your problem. If I understand it correctly.

Their mass/inertia will still affect its flight, though. You need to make the body more massive. You can do that by changing it to metal/stone or by making it bigger in relation to the wings.

Are the wobble bolts necessary? If not chuck em and try to glue the wings on or replace them with something else.

Not sure how it would work with the mass of the wings/inertia and all of that stuff, and maybe you already tried this, but did you try using a gyroscope to keep the body level while the wings are in motion, or a gyro and a rocket rotator? that's how I stabilized my flyer.

wow thanks for the responses guys, I think it's important the wings move, it's for my fiance's level and she made the wings and I am making it work. The body is held in idle position with a gyroscope, with two tilted gyroscopes that make it lean forward/backward accordingly when you fly about, currently all the parts are made of sponge materials, I think changing the body to metal or stone sounds like the best idea, I'll give that a go. I have already stuck anti grav tweakers on them but that makes them resistant to gravity, not weightless, and as such they still carry thier inertia as Sehven said. I'll boot up now and try it, I'll post back shortly! =] edit: yep that worked pretty good, not perfect, but only really destabilises when you crash, and it rectifies itself pretty quickly! thankyoo!
