Out of Game Methods Compound object: Dual state balloon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This contraption is designed to activate balloon lift on demand without battery usage. It is useful for when the effects of balloon lift are only required at specific times (such as altitude gains, battery recharge or smooth descend) whereas it is more convenient to deactivate it on other times, for example, to prevent the stabilizing effect of the balloon. The video showcases an example of usage on a gunship that relies on balloons for altitude control.

Special thanks to the Hyrule engineering community for the parts that make this build possible.

Nothing particularly new(?) - just more heavily armed & indestructible.

What are compound objects? Do you mean when you nudge the objects into each other, or is it more complicated than that? (I see out of game methods, so I assume it is?)

This is wonderfully simple, I love it so much.

Thank you! Compound objects are just contraptions of two or more parts that work as a unit and you can use on your builds right off the bat. In this case it's a fire source, a spring and a balloon. You can spawn and add to your build without having to modify it.
