KAL-1000 Landing Gear Action


Recommended Posts

hey, I'm back with another question, this time about the KAL-1000 and robotic parts.

I'm trying to make an automated landing gear action using the KAL-1000 program.  As you can see in the screenshot, I rotate the hinge downwards then extend the piston. Simple stuff.

I have the Kal-1000 "toggle play" action linked with the gear key ('G'). This works great to extend the gear, however it's then stuck down. My question is,  how can I set up the program to run forward to completion when I press 'G', then if i press 'G' again, it runs backwards to completion (not looping continuously). Thus making a full landing gear action.

I'm new to this so I assume there's a way to do it,I just haven't been able to figure out yet. Thanks!

The easiest solution I've found is to place "Toggle Play" as well as "Toggle Direction" under the Gear action group.

[To clarify: the robotic parts are selected and their actions grouped to the KAL-1000 player, then the KAL-1000 unit itself is selected and the two actions of the player above are grouped to the "Gear"]
