Having trouble... Trying to make a swinging light...
So I am working on my first track (very detailed http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif. And I am trying to put a swinging pole onto a short plank... I used the limtless hinge (or whatever it's called hah) and I set the pole into a horizontal position with physics on.
So when I'm at this point it works how I want.... I toggle physics and the pole starts swinging back and forth! Great! But now I want to attach a light at the end of the pole but can't seem to figure out if I can.... Can anyone help? Thanks http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif

Couldnt you just put the light onto the pole, then select the light press up on the D-pad then click the physics on and then glue to object. then move your cursor over to the pole and press A.

I tried... Doesn't seem to work
Re: Having trouble... Trying to make a swinging light...
I make one, and its working!
How to do it:
Create a light and glue into a pole.
Then create another pole and gleu it to the previous pole.
Like this:
____________pole
pole....|
pole....|
pole....|
light....U
then change the inclination, turn physics on and then creat a scaffold to support.

Ok so you glue the objects firt then add the hinge afterwards... Where do you put the hinge? In between the scoffold and the last pole??

Here is blueprint for regular swinging arm. (Like big wooden club)

Ahhh thanks so much sipe!!! I was missing the swinging root... Do I have to glue objects in any order??

There is no order. But becase we are gluing 2 times, you need to use LB for sub select swing arm (second glue).
Arm glue "order"
1) Select arm
2) Glue to "Swing root"
3) Hold LB, Select arm again (Selects only the arm, without LB -> Selects swing arm and ALL glued parts)
4) Glue to "Swing end"

Thank you lots sipe! Big help!
Re: Having trouble... Trying to make a swinging light...
Not sure if you know this by now because i hate reading so i don't know if anyone told you but to add the light to the end of the pole just try putting the light at the desired position then glue to the pole and leave physics off. If this doesn't work turn physics on, i forget how i did it now.
