Grabber on my side-loading garbage truck won't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I used hinges on the arm of my truck.The arms are in the default position when the angular velocities are the following:

Now this is the portion of the script that makes the arm opening/stop opening.

The arm ends up like this when I press that button on the gui. image
This is the portion of the script that makes the arm close/stop closing

Then when I press the close/stop closing button on the gui, it ends up like this.

I’m not so sure what’s going on here. I’m not sure if this is a bug.

Both the hinges are mirrored, so you gotta make both of their AngularVelocities the same.

The same thing happens when I try making their AngularVelocities the same. I’m 80% sure that this is a bug.

I suggest:

  1. doing more research yourself on hinges
  2. not limiting the rotation they can rotate to for now so you can see if they rotate the direction you want them to rotate to.

  1. Did some research on hinges, found the information that I already know.
  2. Tried removing the limits, ended up with both of the arms going in the same direction, the issue I wanted to fix.
    The rest of my trucks worked just fine with this basic setup. I don’t know why this doesn’t work.

Mess around with the values, that might work out.

Tried messing around with the torque, didn’t do anything. Tried flipping the upper and lower angles, nothing. Changing acceleration doesn’t do anything. I think this is a definite bug.

#8

rotate the hinges around, have you tried that?
