Submarine Drone

I've spent too long trying to get this working. I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious. I think I just need someone else to look at it and go "ya, you forgot to plug this in" or something.
Here it is:

Code:

// [RCD]
Val
{
   HTRM(default=0, min=-10, max=10)
   PITCH(default=0, min=-3, max=3)
   SPN(default=0, max=5000)
   VTRM(default=0, min=-10, max=10)
   YAW(default=0, min=-3, max=3)
}
Key
{
}
Body
{
   Core() {
      S:Chip(name=htr) {
         S:Arm(angle=VTRM) { }
         N:Frame(angle=-150, option=1) {
            N:Wheel(angle=-120, power=SPN, brake=1000) {
               N:Frame(angle=-30) {
                  N:Weight(angle=-30) {
                     E:Weight() { }
                     W:Weight() { }
                  }
                  N:Weight(angle=90) {
                     E:Weight() { }
                     W:Weight() { }
                  }
               }
            }
         }
      }
      S:Trim(angle=90, name=vtr) {
         N:Chip() { }
         S:Arm(angle=HTRM) { }
      }
   }
}
Lua
{math.sgn = function (x) if x < 0 then return -1 elseif x == 0 then return 0 else return 1 end end

function starter()
   vrot=0
   hrot=0
end

function OnInit()
   starter()   
end

function OnReset()
   starter()
end

function OnFrame()
   SPN=_KEY(4)*5000
   vrot=math.cos(_EZ(vtr))
   hrot=math.cos(_EZ(htr))
   PITCH=PITCH+4*(_KEY(0)-_KEY(1))-2*math.sgn(PITCH)
   YAW=YAW+4*(_KEY(2)-_KEY(3))-2*math.sgn(YAW)
   HTRM=vrot*YAW+hrot*PITCH
   VTRM=hrot*YAW+vrot*PITCH
end}


Does _EZ() not pay attention to what chip it's supposed to be reporting on?
I mean, that's the only thing I can think of that could explain why the 2 tail fins don't move independently.

Everything but the Lua code is capitalized before the program is run. Normally, that means that you don't have to worry about capitalization. Unfortunately, it also means that every variable named outside of the Lua must be capitalized in the Lua.

Make sure all the variables used outside Lua are all caps.

Short version: Change vtr to VTR and htr to HTR.

Code:

// [RCD]
Val
{
  HTRM(default=0, min=-10, max=10)
  PITCH(default=0, min=-3, max=3)
  SPN(default=0, max=5000)
  VTRM(default=0, min=-10, max=10)
  YAW(default=0, min=-3, max=3)
}
Key
{
}
Body
{
  Core() {
      S:Chip(name=HTR) {
        S:Arm(angle=VTRM) { }
        N:Frame(angle=-150, option=1) {
            N:Wheel(angle=-120, power=SPN, brake=1000) {
              N:Frame(angle=-30) {
                  N:Weight(angle=-30) {
                    E:Weight() { }
                    W:Weight() { }
                  }
                  N:Weight(angle=90) {
                    E:Weight() { }
                    W:Weight() { }
                  }
              }
            }
        }
      }
      S:Trim(angle=90, name=VTR) {
        N:Chip() { }
        S:Arm(angle=HTRM) { }
      }
  }
}
Lua
{math.sgn = function (x) if x < 0 then return -1 elseif x == 0 then return 0 else return 1 end end

function starter()
  vrot=0
  hrot=0
end

function OnInit()
  starter() 
end

function OnReset()
  starter()
end

function OnFrame()
  SPN=_KEY(4)*5000
  vrot=math.cos(_EZ(VTR))
  hrot=math.cos(_EZ(HTR))
  PITCH=PITCH+4*(_KEY(0)-_KEY(1))-2*math.sgn(PITCH)
  YAW=YAW+4*(_KEY(2)-_KEY(3))-2*math.sgn(YAW)
  HTRM=vrot*YAW+hrot*PITCH
  VTRM=hrot*YAW+vrot*PITCH
end}

Not in your post but possibly implied: Chip names are variables?

Either way, that doesn't fix it. Yes it does, I forgot to set the Lua

Yes. It's the chip number. For example, 0 is the base chip.

I figured out your problem when I had it print out these numbers. It gave 'nil' for both of them.
