Automatic Anchor

In 1 collection by Chickensaur

Description
Upon being told to lower anchor, it will lower the anchor until the mag-all grabs something. Automatically raises once anchor command is off.

SET UP
Use the selection grid to move things around, the nodes are already set up. If you need to make re-connections, the nodes have labels and descriptions. Free to modify and use in your creations.

VARIABLES
Deadzone- The mag-all will not enable until the anchor passes this distance, in meters. Set this high enough for the anchor to clear your hull but low enough to grab the ocean floor.
Idle height- Pretty self explanatory, rope-length the anchors will return to. Note- Anchors may start above idle height but will not automatically lower to it. They only raise to idle height.

Everything of mine that isn't a collab is free to use and re-upload, credit is appreciated but not necessary. Enjoy!

Dear latch4:

I must regretfully inform you that I am unable to replicate this most unfortunate bout of unexpected behaviour that you have experienced. I do ponder, however, have you modified the anchor in any way, and, if so, have you restored the connections as they once were before any such modifications took place?

I dutifully await your reply,
Chickensaur

Dear Chickensaur:

It has come to my attention that your oh-so desired anchor fails to stark me to the ocean floor when i activate my wretched Automated Swimming machines, located on the back of my boat.

Is this an untimely error coming from me, Latch4, or is this mere incapabillity

Thanks, latch4

the magall turns on as soon as i press the toggle button, but automatically turns iteself off when it touched the ocean floor, i followed a tutorial on yt that used a similiar mechanism, it still gives me this issue, any help would be higly appreciated.
thanks!

bro you know how to controll the connectors on a anchor from the ship without using radio control?

I used it in my creation and linked and credited you.
This is a very good system!
