How can I give a character a joint in his elbow?

[uprize]

cant the 'sticky object' be used for keeping peices together? Then you calculate the angles with teh Advanced Direction Object i beleive.

Well, really, all of these work arounds are nice. But what MMF needs is a solid hierarchy system for FK and an IK solver.


I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and, I'm going to make a feature request for this as it should be native in MMF, especially with the impending arrival of flash there will be more people wanting to animation with MMF (I am one of those people).

Well I got it to work (using a variation of ClickerGuy's method) and it looks decent...but I completely agree with PixelatedPict that this kind of thing would be much appreciated in the next build of MMF.

Thank you everyone for your help and support!

Able i am, but lack of time...
So look about here:

Flexible Arm thingy thread
felxible Arm thingy.mfa
Mech Arm code
Simple Chain thread
Simple Chain.cca (works crazy on MMF2, maybe correct on 1.5)
Verlet Chain Example


The Phizix object has a example with joints, but i haven't tested it.

Anyone still have the file?
