Transcript — every row opens the video at that moment

   [Music] yeah everyone we are here in my fancy dance test level and we have a compilation that can't fly and unfortunately this is a bug that I introduced well how this happened and why what do you got now I know I have a feature a little bit ago that allows you to get out of the seat and the engines will remain on your thrusters will still

2. 00:00:54

   be there so if you set the cruise mode you could get out of your ship walk around your ship will still be flying forward before in the past we couldn't do that because the way that the legacy items worked the on and the use were connected so you the players set down a seat you used it therefore it was on that was key linked connection on item 2.0 we have separated this soyuz and turning on and off completely different and i'm going to do is introduce this to the thrusters change a little bit code in the vehicle code and now when you turn on the engines they'll stay on so if you get out of my ship will make some coffee my ship will keep going straight but unfortunately this broke the cut a lot pretty much 90% of the ships you know

3. 00:01:46

   it's one of those things where i tested three shifts and of those three shifts only they work everything else was broken I test the m50 tested the the Gladius and a testing the Cutlass and they were so the code went in and then oh my god everything blocker everything on fire because ships couldn't fly why did that happen I'll show you so here we have this thing called a flight controller in our fun little hierarchy you have the ship which has this control manager it has a bunch of controllers that dictate control over items and when you take control of this specific controller which flight controller you have control of the thrust we have control of the engines you could fly the ship and I had to change a bit of code in here to allow you to to flying and get auto ship but

4. 00:02:36

   unfortunately I forgot one bit of code when you sit down you get this call for start use and then when you leave you get this call to get removed and what I forgot to do was when the player sits down the fee interface we here's our player where we have these two things called enable/disable action handlers so I'm all suppose to re add this code to enable action handler flight controller action Handler and what is this this is the thing that turns on specific actions so if I hit buttons the spaceship can hear and listen to since I didn't turn

5. 00:03:24

   it on you never got the controls to well move the ship and if I scroll back to where I was I should rien a ballista of course recode never likes my name there we go I got enabled hash to do and then when we're done we've got to make sure we disable the control shouldn't be able to have the spaceship listening to your fun little controls when you're walking around so we'll get Rico give it a try and see what happens all right recode is finished now we have

6. 00:04:19

   to get out of the ship and back into the ship and crush everything we crashed because this is the beauty like this is actually a logical crash what happened was I added to come on gotta wait for visual studio to figure itself out all right so I added this bit of code here to disable the action handler but it wasn't enabled in the beginning because I added the code and recompile the game and because I disabled it the game crashed because it was like wait a minute you're trying to turn this off but I was never on to begin with oh and it dies so we're going to recut or coded again go back in the game and see what accident I think the thing that best

7. 00:05:10

   summarizes this is this awesome picture found on the internet when one thing breaks everything breaks wall from us all right we're back in the game okay back in the game we're going to now ah Cutlass make sure we're able to fly around yeah it fly there's good and will

8. 00:06:02

   spawn ourselves consolation and haha we're flying there we go everything's good everything sound we're able to fly again and we could get on the seat and let the ship continue to fly as it pleases hope you guys enjoyed so like time should I am oh the fun times when you add a new feature you're like oh I want to be able to get out of the ship and the thrusters are so long so you check it in because you tried it on the three ships then all what happens it breaks because you didn't check every other ship and it was just one of those silly things where I forgot to add one

9. 00:06:50

   line and then everything works ah one of those days hope you guys enjoyed until next time thank you for watching so if you want to keep up with the latest and greatest in star citizen and squadron 42 development please follow us on our social media channels see you soon you
