woah, didnt expect to see something that works so good, this looks great <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> im still trying to get my head around exactly what you did, but i think im getting it. i still dont quite get where the movement is determined from even though it clearly works <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

thanks Yann!

hey everyone,

im trying to create a conveyor belt so a box will drop on and move along it. Ive tried appying a force to the box on collision with the belt but theres a problem, the force seems to only apply one making the box drop on, move a little then stop. is there a way to apply a constant force with contact on the belt?

also the belt will often be different angles so the box will need to adapt.

omg dude i could kiss you =]. thankyou so much!

the basic concept is to be able to draw out conveyor belts, so if i chnage the proporties of the line object to apply a force to any object it touches, that should work.

my only concern now is the stretching, i want to replace the black line with a texture of a conveyor belt, say with arrows showing which way its going. now i realise this texture will stretch as i make my lines, any way i can avoid this?

thankyou again for your help. i can nearly start level design <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

anyone? <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

here is a cap.x showing what ive got done so far.

when the left mouse is held down, the line appears and changes angle and size when following the mouse. i want to be able to determine the position of the base object when i 1st hold down the mouse. then while held down i want the line object to stratch out so the base is where i 1st pressed, and the end of the line is where i let go.

any help would be great

thankyou

i got it, i was using 2.0 lol. your right, that is the kind of thing i want, but the base is set in one place, i would need it so i choose where the base of the line will be by holding the mouse down, and dragging out the line like it does in the .cap

any chance of another link. this one doesnt work =/

Steven ok, i understand what your saying, however still a bit confused and new to construct, any further guidance you could give?

if you could let me know when and where to find this tutorila, that would be great. thanks again <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

woah, ashley how would i go around adding two hotspots on an object, one left and 1 on the right. i want to be able to hold the mouse down and drag out an object, the hotspot idea should work

that would be fantastic if you could. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

yes, to put it simply i want to dynamicly change the scale of the belt at runtime

much like the image below

i want to be able to draw out the lines like so, but the lines then act as conveyor belts when drawn.
