Multiple Point Slider/Piston Connector

Orue223
Currently its difficult to make a slider for example that follows a L shape because it stops at either end of a straight line. What if there was a new connector type that had multiple points that let the object slide from one point to the next point?

    you can approximate this using keyframes on a timeline. set each keyframe to each "node" position you want, turn off smoothing on each keyframe, apply a linear transition between each one, and plug in your signal to the Playhead Position.

    Or even just use one piston to move the first bit, and another piston to move in the other direction. Activate them one at a time.

    I've used both these solutions theyre good for certain things but are bad overall. Like say if I created an L shape and rotated it with physics on, the moving part of the connector wouldnt be correct. The L shape is just an example what if I wanted to create an elaborate shape? basically just not worth the setup. Multiple points would open up new logic possibilites and game ideas.

    Right. So using sliders instead and keyframing would sort that. Or just keyframing with no connectors. How did those methods work out for you?

    It wouldnt react physically correct though. Say I attach a follower to the moving part of it. Its gonna stop at the end of a connector. What if I want to change the shape? Have to redo the whole thing
