Glued light and object stops registering speed variable | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

I have tried a million things to get this working but to no avail so I am asking the community if they have any ideas.

I have a chrome ball with a light glued to it that I need to track the speed of the object but it only outputs 0.00. If I unglue the ball and light and just track the cromeball it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas on how to do this?

I though I could track the object with the light but can't find any function apart from "Glue" to do this!

You can't track individual glue member speed because there is no individual speed for them. Glue group moves as a whole group no matter what. Point your object info to your glue group pivot object and it should work just fine. (Small yellow square)

another alternative is to try a Physics Joint, Set it to Point to Point - Hard, it acts similar to the glue.

Yeah they may seem act but glue is like parenting to objects. You can be 100% that glue will hold because there is no physics joint between objects. t won't bend or streach in any conditions)

Tried the first solution which I had no luck with but the physics joint worked a treat.
