We won't know what the problem is if you don't post the scene. It looks alright from here. Just a guess, but the wheels on the other side should be reversed. Ha! Maybe the seats aren't actually touching the wheels? I know I've had this problem before with the grid.

Post the scene and we'll find out.

Heres the link http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=41120I hope it helps

There's an insert scene button on the forum, and you can type it [scene]number[/scene] using the scene id number.

[RicH]

Just click this.
Oh and I forgot to add. Make all the wheels have a higher RPM, say 1000 or so. Checking the motor checkbox means it the hinge automatically turns. Since you want it to turn at the press of a key, you can disable the motor checkbox(it's redundant). And I assume you want your seats to come down after the launch so disable autobrake.

And make sure the cross brace is set to another collision group (or none at all)

[nickstern4]

The Crossbar doesnt have a collision, and ive tried all of it but i just scrapped it and made a weird chain lift one, it doesnt look as good but it works.

Thanks for helping!

I noticed that the hinges aren't the same sizes on the wheels. There is an option of adding center hinges to all the circles automatically though.

[nickstern4]

i tried everything, it moves but doesn't launch fully... well, im gonna scrap it.

Here's my version of it:

I've found that gears are more reliable.

[Chronos]

You know, RicH, if you change those gears for circle-gears like Conun made, that would be a lot more reliable and way smoother.

[nickstern4]

Thanks for all the help, i like the tower drop RicH, it works hell of a lot better than mine !

You know, RicH, if you change those gears for circle-gears like Conun made, that would be a lot more reliable and way smoother.

I know. Unfortunately, every circle-gear I make sucks, so I just went with the normal ones. I might try making on of those again.
EDIT: Haha. Just realized there was a spawner and everything on Algobox. Definitely gonna use those.
