Piston Ctype
-
I almost got my engine to start. It ran for a few seconds than the piston suddenly just refused to move. I analyzed it in D mode and noticed that the extended piston had no ctype. I thought it was supposed to have a ctype of dust. Is that no longer true or did I really break it?
EDIT: This makes it unable to straighten messed up frame. Why? How do I make it straighten the frame?

that was before that it would have a ctype of dust, but it was weird to use ctype and I needed it for something else, to determine what can stop the piston. So now whatever it's ctype is sets what stops it.
Can I see the save? I can't understand why it won't move without seeing it. -

Piston's ctype controls which element blocks it (so stuff like DUST or DMND can even block PSTN)
Piston's tmp controls how far it will go (you're making an engine, a safe assumption would be that you didn't need superlong pistons) -
Oh, but obviously in an engine there is stuff in the cylender that the piston has to push. But it runs into it fast and it dents the piston making the engine seize. Can I make the piston straighten the frame block when it pulls back on it?
