realistic gravity/independent rotating parts

[Natemac327]

Even though there is already a gravity module I feel that it could be improved using independent rotating parts so we could create a rotating living module rather than a block, it would increase difficulty and also it would allow players to create realistic ships.

the whole gravity should be rewritten i think. gravity should pull you TO the emitting block/array not toward it\'s bottom... falling off a ship is quite ridiculous and this would allow for actual sphere planetoids and not flying saucers planets...

tho, the system works quite fine for now, i feel like this is only a placeholder for something better!

i like that idea... gravity controlers should be all linked together tho... per ship... just buy a bunch and place them under your floor and it will ALWAYS pull you to that... tho i can see this being annoying for when you try and walk and the ones in front, behind, and sides and under you all try and pull you...

not if they all work as one entity (say a 5x5 panel would only pull you to their bottom)

as it is now, the gravity is a bubble that pulls you to a \"bottom\" that is orientation dependent.

you should be pulled to the one that is emitting gravity if it\'s a panel then you can assume it\'s a floor! then you could keep the orientation dependency but only when you\'re \"over\" the gravity block/array



not sure how this would apply to planetoids tho, still thinking about it but a sphere made of cubes is still considered \"cubic\" when it comes to standing on it...
