hey guys, i know how to set up a platform on a slider so its acts like a trampoline to boost u up into the air. what i would like to know is how do u set it so the platform after is triggered goes back to its starting position, so u can hit it again, however i want to tie it to a button press such as every time u hit right stick right the platform springs up and then returns to its original position allowing u to press right stick as much as u want and every time u do the platform springs up, help guys really would love to know how to get this to work for my new track, thanks

how about pointing the spring values to a data sources.

explained: (this is off the top, hope it doesn't waste your time)

set the physics pivot half way up the shaft and move the platform there,
set up the linear values so the platform can slide the upper/lower levels, you don't need to use the linear motor,
now set the spring values up,
to pull the lift down add a dummy object or two that have high mass and when its fully pressed, set the dummy object to decoration only.
