Creating A Hydraulic

I've tried making the truck bed a parent object but then I can't get the metal arm to slide back down into the hydraulic tube...I'm sure there's a way it's just a little over my head anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks, Warren.

Hi Warren,

One solution would be to make the two parts of the piston point to each other using the 'target" tag. It is important to use propper placement of pivot points (see image).
(others may know better solutions)

I hope things are clear, if not, just let me know...

Kind regards,
Filip

Hi Filip.
I think you introduced some scaling/shearing issue - no? .

Cheers
Frank

Whoops!

That must have happened by accident, but I guess the idea is clear. I did some rescaling after parenting...:redface:
I added a fixed version...
