      I'm making a sketchyphysics warthog but I'm having problems with the suspension. Because it uses a motorcycle swing arm styled thing under it to support the wheel I cant just stick a normal spring joint on it but its also close space to make a suspension rig to support it and I'm struggling to do it. Does anyone know of an effective method I could use and perhaps provide an example?

        Ages ago, I found out you could make hinges springy. I think it was:

        • Set a min and max
        • Set accel and damp, like a spring
        • Use 0.5 as a controller

            At the moment suspension is no longer the biggest problem. few issues with the wheels. convex hulls not cylinders so there bumpy and the warthog ive downloaded doesnt have the wheels centred so that needs fixing
