RotorWheels - Rotors and Custom Wheels for Suspensions (Vanilla!)

Description
This mod lets you attach a rotor head of any size (small or large), or a wheel of any size (1x1, 3x3, 5x5) to any wheel suspension. After placing the custom wheels, you can remove this mod and the grid will keep its new wheels

Mod is designed to be setup in offline creative, however it should also work in Local MP
Once you have saved the grid in offline creative, you can paste it with creative mode (in MP, on servers etc) and wheels are preserved

How to use

1) Put down the wheel suspension

2) Open the custom data of the wheel suspension

3) Add one (and only one) of the following names to the custom data:

SmallRotor
LargeRotor
Small1x1
Smal3x3
Small5x5
Large1x1
Large3x3
Large5x5

4) Once you have done this for all the wheel suspensions you wish to replace, type /wheels in the chat


UPDATE
- No longer requires a wheel (or rotor) attached to the suspension to work
- Custom Data is automatically cleared
- New command: "/attach"

/attach will basically look for any bare suspensions and try and attach the closest object. So you can go into space, place the suspension and a wheel/rotor next to it, then type /attach



Thanks to Randaped for the idea, and BruceLeedleLeedleLee for a suggestion on how to do it

alas, on LG 5x5 wheels, the rotor head is added instead of the wheel itself, but that's all, it does not attach to the suspension in any way.
The mod is very cool and useful, but it needs to be updated.

so basically it still kinda works, just be sure you run the procedure on suspensions that have a wheel. Looks like it's not working with those have no wheels anymore.

when it did work the first time it, the vehicle i had has 95% suspension, 70% power, and it cant go forward properly without bouncin up in the air

i do it the old way where you put /wheels it spawns the rotor heads in but they dont actually attach and keep flying off into the distance, am i doing something wrong

Can this mod please be updated to include all the latest wheel and suspension block types? Hands down one of the best mods I use on a regular basis. :steamthumbsup:

I'd love for it to be updated to lastest updates (2x2 and offroad) but I always used this for trying to make some custom multiblock suspension but failed and just so happen to see a blueprint manage to make one and rekindled my interest in this mod xD

Will this be updated to work with the new 2x2 vanilla wheel?
