conveyor help

Archive: 4 posts


I've seen levels where the creator has made a conveyor that follows the inside of a circle, or instead of just a straight line eg. Left to Right, follows curves smoothly, Flowing up and down and around other objects.

I can't for the life of me figure out how it's done and wondered if any of you guys knew??

Most likely the conveyor piece is following a track hidden behind scenery. If you bolt the thick-layer conveyor piece onto two thick-layer wheels, you can then slide a thin layer piece in between without breaking the bolt connection. You can then use movers to move the conveyor piece along, and draw out a track for the wheels to follow to be hidden behind the thin layer.2011-08-08 08:41:00

You can perhaps lock the pieces in some kind of track that confines the movement to a specific direction (this could for instance be the thin layer behind the pieces). Then attach a basic Mover going forward in respect to the orientation of the piece and enable the Local Space setting.

EDIT: I just did a bit of experimentation. If you use two thin layer, circular contact points (can be Glass to limit friction) on the back of the piece, you can get a functioning curving conveyor belt
