Hey guys, been awhile since I've posted here but I have a bit of an Issue...

I'm attempting to try and do something where the player attaches a bucket onto the rope, and the crank then turns (On its own) and lifts the bucket up, after X amount of seconds, it'll come back down again (On its own, again)...

But I am not exactly sure how to go about this, if anyone has any advice It'd be gladly appreciated Smile

Hello!

I searched a little bit and found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksn4lHxbgPg
For connecting the bucket to the rope it seems you want to use:

PHP Code:
void AddAttachedPropToProp(string& asPropName, string& asAttachName, string& asAttachFile, float afPosX, float afPosY, float afPosZ, float afRotX, float afRotY, float afRotZ); 

For rotating the crank, I would use:

PHP Code:
void SetWheelAngle(string& asName, float afAngle, bool abAutoMove); 

Yet I'm not sure whether this can make the wheel turn by itself in an animated way. If it doesn't, maybe you can use a timer that calls very often and turns the wheel just a tiny bit at a time, until it's finished.

The x amount of seconds thing is just a timer.
