I can’t figure this out.. but I just want to connect 3 objects using connectors.. and be dynamic. When i put them in a null and put them in a cloner they lose the links and get all messed up. How do you keep the connections and clone them in a mograph cloner? I think i got close, but the objects started going through one another..

on another note, does cloth dynamics work with the mograph dynamics?

any tips for this?

thanks.

Hi David,

Please have a look to the file that I have attached. The Zip contains two ways and please compare it to yours, if it resembles the situation.

If your idea is a different one and the resulting problem as well, please attach an example.

All the best

Hi David,

Here is your file back. I was pretty close with my estimate.

Check out the “Connector Tab” > Object >> Ignore Collision.

I hope that helps, if not please check the Project Settings>Dynamic>Expert.

All the best
