so im making an engine, and whatever is attached to my piston starts sticking to other stuff, and then starts a chain reaction causeing the whole top of my engine to stick to the piston, Whats happeneding, how do i stop it?!

You need to keep some space between the stuff you want to stick to the piston and the stuff you don't want to stick. Also, I think WALL element just absorb the stuff that gets pistoned into it. It might work for your engine. Is hard to say exactly what will work without seeing the save.

whats happeneing is the titanum head on my piston(sitting on frame) is sticking to the Oil/gas/fire, and then that sticks to the combustion chamber, and then it breakes itself, is there a way to avoid this, or is this a bug?

Sometimes PSTN sticks to things without touching them, it's a bit buggy 0_0. Could you give us the ID of the engine so we can look at it?

In the next version, FRME with a tmp of 1 won't stick to anything, so you can set that to make non-sticky pistons.

im sorry dom, but thats not what i was looking for,

1.) the gas ignited, something easily fixed

2.) my plan was a 2 stroke engine, that was a fire valve type thing

3.)its open topped

i know i should of told you my plan and no offence to you, but thats not how i want it

thanks for trying :)

dom2mom

I know. The problem is that your thing is SOOOOO small, I had to make it open topped until the next update :(. And I saw the gas ignited, but I gave you it for you to fix it, I only had time to fix the stickyness. I didn't know about the strok part though...

Pistons sticking to stuff!!!
