Adjust the start position of a hinge?

[Resetti's Replicas]

How do I make it so that a skirt attached to a door-hinge starts out at an angle instead of flat on the ground?  I observe that it's a servo, so I can't adjust "Range of Motion Start" like I would a skirt hinge.

It's in the .txt files somewere.

EDIT: GMF

[G.K.]

No it isn't.

I think you'd have to mod the GMF for that Sonny. Ask Mad or someone who knows better than I do though.

Sorry I meant .GMF

I think either by adjusting some of the HingeConstraint properties, or just by rotating on of the bodies on the common axis... But this is gonna break compability with other versions of the hinge.

Fair enough.  I was asking because people say they're so much better than skirt hinges, even when I present a design where I need the skirts to lie at an angle, rather than flat on the ground.


EDIT: This topic was meant to be in DSL technical support.  My bad.

Try changing the skirt hindge values from 0 to something like 10 and then wire a control and move them in the botlab like you would do with a servo.

Is that legal for tournaments?

[JoeBlo]

no that would be text file editing, which falls into a similar category to AAM

the only thing you can do is wire it as the control "spin" and it will be free moving but thats it...
