here is my problem im making a level and there is a part where this lift type thing takes you across then up (hard to explain but here goes) the piston at the bottom what is making it go sideways doesn't seem to move when 3 or more people are on it , i had to change the material to cardboard because metal was to heavy now 4 sack people are to heavy for it to move , and to make it go up i have two pistons making it go up i need help .BOUNTY. ps: if fenderjt is reading this if you could explain more because you was the test dummy lool

So, the problem is that you have a platform that moves across, then up, and for some reason it doesn't move across if there are four players on the platform?

Just put a speech bubble saying one at a time, or that only one the rest have to po (or something like that) or it'll break, that outta solve it, no?

If you have dark matter, with pistons to object A, then pistons from object A to object B (where the sackpeople ride) you need to make sure that object A is significantly heavier than object B, else you will have significantly reduced strength. Although that doesn't explain why it is weak in both directions. It is connected to dark matter isn't it?

i have a glass cut out at a glass cube inside it so it can slide easy ok im gonna go into detail : there is a long glass rectangle with a long rectangle cut out from it and i placed a glass cube inside the cut out . i put the pistons onto the glass block so it could slide smooth. sorry its hard to explain

Try adding another piston on the other side of the glass block that has the same settings, but inverted. That way you can ensure stability. Edit: You know what? That probably won't work. I'll just let rtm handle it. Sorry I couldn't help :/

yeah that might work ill give it a try

The lift has to be WAY heavier than the thing the piston is connected to because in LBP the strength of a piston is proportional to the weight of its load - so if it pushes a heavy object it will be stronger. Counterintuitive, isn't it?

yeah the lift was made from metal and it didnt move because it was to heavy

A picture would be useful, but without seeing it, it sounds as if the problem with the design is the glass cube being too small. As I mentioned in the thread I just linked to, using a glass block inside a guide shaft generally doesn't provide much in the way of stability. You'll end up with a much simpler design as long as you get the weight ratios correct.
