    Pistons - Can they activate simultaneously?

    No matter what I do, stacking them side by side, on top of each other, using triggers or whatever I can never seem to get 2 pistons to activate at the same time to get double the power.
    Any tips on doing this or has nobody managed it yet? If it's doable then I am probably missing something reall simple.

    Hmm, I was able to have two pistons activated at the same time, because I was also in the same situation; I needed double the power. I had the two pistons laying down pushing sideways with both their properties set to: Physics ON, Animation OFF. Then I activated them both with a trigger whose properties were Physics ON, Animation ON.

    Now, that isn't my EXACT setup. I activated the pistons with a timed trigger which also turned a light on.

    I haven't messed with the new editor items yet so I'm not quite sure. I think that if the two pistons are on top of each other, the piston on the top would need physics turned ON and the one on the bottom would have physics turned OFF(So it stay's in place) Then when the rider goes through a trigger, it would activate animation on them both and launch what you need to be launched.

    With that same trigger I imagine you could also just turn the physics on the top piston as well, if you wanted it to stay in place until the launch.
