Heloo everyone!!
I'm trying to do a demo of a sixwheeled battle vehicle which i've already rigged with the Craft Director Tools (the trial version).
I've already rigged an extending cannon with bones but i'm stuck at making the suspension parts of the wheels react to the the movement of the wheel.
I cant seem to work it out with bones and linking makes parts turn with the wheel.

Hey, should have seen that! You have to put it after you post!

So, i don't know if its possible to get the rigged wheels to interact with a chain of moving parts.
If it is, please make a suggestion. So here's a brief explanation of what needs to move.

I guess it would take a lot of tweaking to make it work properly, but if I can just make out the interactions!
The red part is connected to the hull, needs to act as an actuator, so as to move the hull up and down when needed.
The blue part has to rotate at the y axis and needs to move up and down in unison with red.
Green's the pivot point for Purple, which moves with the rigged wheell.
The point would be, that the wheels control the movements of the other parts.
Hope i'm not difficult to understand
