    Building the impossible...Ideas please!

    I'm sure im not the only one who has spent hours trying to get some crazy phyz object to work properly so i thought i do this for people who have an idea but cant get it to work. so if your having trouble with something please post it here and throw down a challenge for someone to step up and try to build it!

    I have been trying to build a conveyor belt since i got the game, with limited sucess even with new dlc objects/motors

    One other idea suggested was a train(motorised) but my original engine design maxed out complexity too easily, i havent tried to build this since dlc but the force rotation tools should make this possible.

    looking forward to hearing your ideas

    I've also been wanting to make a conveyor belt......I think if you use the concrete pipe and metal rod through, post free rotation hinge on each side. Glue concrete pipe to both hinges closest, then the other two to the metal rods on the exterior of the hinge. That should work I think.

    if you made a fairly short conveyr and switched to loose screw and wheelied just on the conveyor would that count for distance.

    I think its the distance between checkpoints rather than how much the back wheel has spun or your distance would shoot up everytime you got airborne cos the wheel would keep spinning

    hello. my GT:KENDUCK

    to make a long train. I propose using rocket than force rotate.
    yesterday,I'm making a track using force rotate.it was power down near many moving tools.and at last,it stopped.

    rocket gives Constancy power with other moving tools or objects.and it makes engine system simply.

    I made sample track. please download my track:sample long train

    it is rough designed sample track of running the long train.so no railroad,background,and have a few bug.(train sometime turns sideways.)

    but,I think,add some idea,it will reborn interseting track.for example,set the object on the trains roof,it is unique moving line to ride.

    make an elevator. ( automatic stair case in malls ) if ur from USA. would be a challenge and look cool. then make some go in reverse and create a giant room u have to navigate the correct path threw. only one true way or u end up back at the start. and if that aint a challenge i give up. when u finished it send fr !!!!!

    I think u mean an escalator which is basically a conveyor belt made of steps, a nice idea but my complexity bar is maxed out just thinking about it

    escalator.. thats the one ( effects of cider lol ) yeah it would be stupidly hard but hey you wanted a challenge.. what about a track using balls in as many ways u can think of. i tried buy ran out of ideas pretty quick

    i've been trying to make something like a pinball machine using the metal ring ball i used in dribbles tracks. but its big and im having trouble getting the camera to focus on what the balls doing rather than the rider
