WTFBBQOMGROLF theres a pic size limit?!?!

So what does this do before I try it?

It is basicly just a spring lengthener... basicly hydraulics

Thanks!

your welcome

good tut, i wonder when people will find out you can make walkers without motors.. only springs.

Uhm.... once they learn how to use thyme and use 'bugs' to there advantage...
WAITTTTT can you still use negative damping motors??

i wasnt talking about negitive dampening springs... more like using them as artificial muscles.

Oh okay but do you know abot my question?

why wouldnt they work? Negitive dampening isnt a glitch, its meant to be there.

I know but its still uhm.... hmm i dont know how to explain it..

Thanks for the tut.

Rhett97 you talk too much.

this is useful for people that are going to use algodoo and dont have a clue about anything its also a good first project to make with thyme its what i did and yer u can every one pretty much forgot about them though

Im glad my sugestion spawned something so usefull for beginers!

not callin me a begginner :O ? i made one ages ago:P like pretty soon after beta 5.28 came out

no im not calling you a beginer, im agreeing to your privious post

ah good good

Emilk said that he left in negative values as an easter egg. A lot of cool stuff wouldn't work without these crazy values.

Yeah its amazing how a backwards spring is so powerful

Wait, when I got around to doing this, every time I press the play button it resets the length from Scene.My.SpringL to 1.5. Is there any way around this?

Well... uhm.. im not getting the problem. is it like not saving??.... hmm...... well ill make a scene to go with this and you can work off that.

you should make a step by step guide for it

I kinda already did...

also... im sorry about being a post..... (whore)
im gonna dtop posting non-stoppedly and but im still gonna be on BOTH forums...
the new one and the algdoo

oh cool you should upload it and im not calling you one

i know that was just a group message and yeah ill upload.... but ill have to remake the scene... i didnt save it...
