multiple instances of multi-event mechanics

hello

example

i got a moving platform going up and down

that platform has a rotating block attached to it (like a swinging arm)

the connections/links can be done via pin

movement is done via bullet or simulated movement

is there a way to place multiple instances of that swing-arm-platform mechanic without re-adding sprites and pin/movement events for each platform ?

if i place 5 swing-arm sprites and 5 platforms - how would construct2 know which arm belongs to which platform

thanks in advance

much appreciated !

You could/should put them into container. The idea would be, that you place only the swing-arms, and at the start, platform would be generated for that.

So you could do something like this if the elements are in same container:

at start of layout

..for each swing-arm

... set platform position

... pin platform to swing-arm

works !

thank you !
