how do i make a object spin while its in a group with another object and the whole group moves together as 1?
i know how to make a group of 2 objects to move together but when i make object B spin then it no longer moves with the group with object A, object B just stays still and spins instead of moving with the group the group itself has a follower logic so that works when object B isnt spinning but i want both to work.
-
Try group the two objects and then scope into the group.
Make sure all objects in the group are set to non-moveable and add a rotator to object B.
Scope out and add follower logic to the group.
The group should follow whatever you set it to while object B now should now spin inside the group. -
i already did this as an outcome object B does rotate and the group does move with the follower but object B doesn't move with the group as if the rotator is gluing object B down without the rotator then all of it moves so thats working, maybe its because the rotator is stopping any other kind of movement with damping ill have a look.
-
naaa even with no damping on the rotator the object still wont move with the group when rotating, i cant use keyframes because that just records the location breaking the point of group following.
-
ok the keyframe way does work so ill do that but i still rather use a rotator logic because its easier.

Have you tried a motor bolt connector, if you connect A to B and I think make B moveable (this step may not be required) it will rotate in whichever axis you set.
As long as they are connected within the group with A as the parent object I think it might work. B should move with A due to the physical connection once the follower kicks in. -
naa that doesnt work because i have a group in a group and i cant connect a motor from object A to object B because B is in a group if i do that then that group within the main group would spin and not just object B

Unfortunately grouping objects together, while one of the grouped objects should rotate independently, did not work for me. The object which should rotate did not move together with the group. I tried to play with "Moveable" and other settings, but nothing really worked.
I solved the issue as follows:
I wanted to make a tank with a freely rotating cannon. What I did was, I put both objects, as usual, in a group together. Obsiously made sure that nothing is set to moveable. Then I put a "Tag" on the location where the turret should be located at. The Tag has an "SST" (Scene Space Transformation) output. I took that and wired it into a microchip which is attached to the cannon. This microchip has the rotation logic only for the cannon.
I added a "Follower" chip and on the third tab, there is an input called "Target Position". So I took the SST from the Tag, wired it into a "Splitter", and then wired the position output into the "Target Position" of the "Follower" chip. The "Follower" chip is configured with 100% strength and dampening. Speed is set to 50 m/s but this depends on the game. May be set faster if needed.
As a result, the cannon follows the tag position exactly, but is still able to rotate freely.
I hope this helps anyone who struggles with the same issue.
PS: Teleporters would be better for the job, but unfortunately do not have a position input.
