Glued pieces fall apart | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

I have tried to make something like this

----------------
........./\

where the rider goes on the left side and triggers something that falls on the right side. So it flips you in the air. I have seen it in tracks in the game as in user tracks.

I have used a double I-beam and glued it to a platform on which the rider waits.

But when the object drops on the right side it starts going up but then all the pieces fall apart. They're no longer glued togetter.
I have physics on all objects.


The same problem occured when I tried to make this kind of lift but a bit more complex. I made a platform with in each corner a barrel

|____| sideways it looks like this

I glued all 4 barrel corners with the platfrom and to a short wood block (5) hanging high above the platfrom right in the center.
The wood block was again glued to long beam like this ....................[ 5 ]------------------------------2

Except n°1 everything had physics. The goals was that the rider had to go on the platform (3) trigger an object falling on 2 so that he would be catapulted into the air. But when the object dropped on 2. 3 of the 4 barrels (each seperatly glued to the platform 3 and the wood block 5, detached and brake loose.

What am i doing wrong. Is there some kind of physics that the barrels are too weak and can not hold such weight?

It seems like every time i make something big and complex it get's messed up somehow :s

If there is too big force to the barrels, they break and the clue is removed. Glue can also break under heavy stress. Note that physics objects in a glue group can collide with each other which can result in large forces although objects that are directly glued to each other they should not collide. Generally you should try to avoid breaking objects in bigger glue groups as they break easily and can lead to the whole group to breaking down.

ok, i'll keep it in mind
