Can you make mechanical objects?

Asked 289 views1 answers

Is there a way to make something work mechanically/by the laws of ROBLOX physics? For example, a balisong knife? I've already tired to make a balisong, the pins and rotation holes, but when I play-test it, they clip through each other. I've made sure that all the parts are unanchored and that they can collide. Is there a script?

You could simulate physics using welds and cframes, although this has a tendency to be quite jumpy and can be very complex to do, however you avoid all the problems of clipping (so long as your code is correct).

Well is there a reason why they're clipping?

Probably just too much force being applied, paired with Roblox's useless physics engine.

You aren't the only one who's having clipping problems. They've existed for years.

Well, I've seen a car engine build once, and it was working fine. Not too long ago, even.

Probably using CFrames. If not, then it was very well made.
