    Default piston string

    now this isnt really a piston string, but its a similar effect for the string, its not really a glitch or anything just something i found useful while i was toying around with a gun ive made "dismantle", its a sniper where the barrel pops off and turns into an Assault Rifle,

    how i found it out was, if you connect a string to between 2 interlocking flat sides, it gives it a piston effect,

    ex, i used a double piston setting (one stiff one not for flexible strength) so it drops off, and pops back one when the pistons extend and de-stend (or w/e) so the string attached to the broken barrel folds into itself like a piston when they attach.



    just thought id share it, might be good for something =)

    So what you are saying is, the strings are pistons when interlocked?

    eh?

    I think he's saying it makes the string look like a piston.

    yeah, if your using pistons to detach and attach things, put a string inbetween the two interlocking points to make it look like a piston, (for visuals)

    not the coolest thing in the world just thought it'd be nice to share

    Oh so like making the piston invisible and leaving the string visible sort of effect?

    yeah, i dont want them to see my tech, so everything is invisible except for the string, the string has that extend and un-exstend effect that the piston has...

    i wish i could post a short video

    anyway, the outcome is a string, thats pretending to be a piston

    In a world, where stiff is set to yes, and minimum length is different than maximum length...
    One string is trying to fit in...
    *Faint shouting voice*: Striiiiiing

    ...Couldn't help myself...

    But I'll check this out and see how it looks. I never really thought of intertwining connectors like that...
