A very crude implementation to simulate the behavior of gears using cylinders. This gear system ensures that two contacting cylinders won't slip against each other.

Quirks:

  • A little bit too springy with no way to directly set object's angular velocity from Lua script.
  • Motors seem to override torques applied by the script.
  • They don't take getting locked up very well.

1 year ago MARRA92-AGAIN: the cylinders should be touching eachother tho
1 year ago MARRA92-AGAIN: I'm gonna test this a bit, but seems pretty promising. I'm sure many people would benefit from this! well done! was any of my sufggested maths/criterias good for it?
