One Way Spring

[mrmegawarrior]

All springs on algodoo can rotate and stretch, you should be able to select an option on for a spring to not rotate and always point in 1 direction and still be able to stretch

Been suggested, use the search function.

[mrmegawarrior]

I did use search but from what i found was there has never been it has never fully been decided

Support!
I suggest to add bend options (bend, bendConstant and bendTarget) to spring endpionts.

Emil did give hints that something like that will eventually be implemented. I don't really see all that much use for it though...

[monstertje3]

maybe use for a stable piston?

[Someone Else]

Emil did in fact hint at something like this. Can't remember where though.....

A spring with bend variables for the endpoints, and options for minimum and maximum length is what I like to call a Piston.

Not only that, but I completely support.

1.9.8 old springs disappear on mirror

Fixed.

Yes, thank you.

Maybe you plan to extend it... like able to fix spring end so it will not rotate... or implement new linkages - pistons and it will be connected to same endpoints...

You're a good guesser

[Rrobba]

Support!

[The Linkage]

Support!
This is almost the same as a piston, with a motor menu for it (e.g.=Up key =right [] Toggle) this would be very useful.

[monstertje3]

What if we could use a hinge as an endpoint for a spring, it would then make more sense if you place a motor on it

[Someone Else]

Emil's hint makes me happy. For some reason, I have always supported pistons.
