Slider
Lets a body slide along one line and forbids everything else: a piston, a lift, a box on a rail.
How to add
Use the Joint tool (J), then set type Slider in the properties.
Properties
- Bodies A and B
- The moving body and the support. The support may be empty: the rail is then fixed to the world.
- A x, A y and B x, B y
- Attachment point position.
Tips
- The direction of motion follows the placement of the attachment points.
- Add stops made of static shapes so the body does not slide away forever.
