I and have to deal with landing on planets without a body/engineer.
yes i have reached the same problem in my populoutorium which wanted to use the god controller.
and came to the conclusion that the god controller is no good anymore, it is more limited than the character controller
my idea as a workaround for the landing problem was to temporarily create a character to use the rocket. character must not have visible sprites.
- or -
completely simulate the god-controller, (keep usung character controller, but invisible character + no collission box + simulating the map move speed using character speed modifier in connection with the zoom factor, since it is finally readable now.
i hope the ideas are useful to you
