Hi! I’ve been trying to figure out for the past 2 weeks how to implement a working roller chain into unreal engine.

RollerChain

I’d like it to be linked to the opening of a door. so when the door opens it rotates one way and when it closes it rotates the other way.
This is a very simple animation to make in blender but I can’t figure it out for the life of me how to import in into Unreal.

I can’t find anything online either so I hope there is a hidden saviour on this website!

hey @TioTheSuperseal

I dont have the answer but i did come across this on my travels through youtube. Its not exactly a bike chain type , its a tank with tracks that uses a spline that has links that follow it round. Maybe of some help?

Here is where he got the influence, right here on these forums:
