Hi Guys,

I am trying to build a crane to pick up objects in a RPG game I'm making. So far I've managed to create most of the elements. I'm happy with the horizontol movement. Unfortunately I'm having some trouble creating a smooth vertical movement for the cable/grab arm, and also having some difficulties

picking up the objects.

I have uploaded my capx file here: dl.dropbox.com/u/101200636/CraneTest.capx

I have read a lot of the physics tutorials but I can't find any of the answers I need. If anyone is able to help or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Could you not use actual physics to pick up the object rather than them sticking to it? At once point, a box was being supported by a single arms tip.
