Drawbridge Cog Request

[Vane]

Hello, i am making a sort of Midevil Level, and i need a Cog that will make a Giant door (if i can get someone to make it, or i myself make it) to go down slowly for about 1 minute or so, then go back up, (switch of course to lower it)

Thanx

Since I had to use rotatepivot, you're frame setup will be much different. Use a ghost object to isolate the point you want the drawbridge to pivot arount (near the bottom). The first frame (frame0) should dictate the direction to close (-90 degrees, probably) and the next frame should dictate the opening direction (+90 degrees). It's a little complicated to understand at first. When you're done, delete the ghost object. You don't actually need it. If you need an example, let me know.

BTW, I hope this was for a SP game, because I don't know much about MP cogging.
