Rotation and swinging at the same time

Hi all,

I am trying to create an actor that will spin, and have attached to it ‘swinging pendulums’, like a carousel. I know how to create both parts, I was just wondering if there is a way to combine the two components so that as the object rotates, other parts will swing off it.

If this is in anyway confusing, I am trying to create something similar to this;

A quick response would be very helpful.

Many thanks,

Hello, here is a little video with the physics you seem to be looking for:


Just make sure to parent each swing to the main spinning contraption so that its position automatically updates as it spins.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
