Even thought I coulnd't get the last one to fire correctly (the two pieces you highlighted woulnd't align), this was just so funny    

Looking forward to more  

[Bricksandparts]

Glad you enjoyed it.

I couldn't get the last one to line up either...

But that was MegaBlokin' awesome!

I couldn't line it up either, but it still worked. Great "discovery" though

Awww, it doesn't shoot.   Still very cool.

By the way, I got the trebuchet to fire properly today. Not sure what went wrong last time. It's awesome.

Very fun!
I hope that means that the step to implement animations in LDD would be not so difficult!

@Bricksandparts
A little note: the forum rules assert that images can't be bigger than 800x600 pixel.
Could you resize that?

sorry, I use a picture re-sizer to re-size images normally, but it says it is not allowed in this forum. I Guess I'll have to resize it myself right?

Drum roll...............................................

I'm working on a firing cross bow! It's almost done.  

and about the trebuchet, sometimes it works and does not work for me too.

I'm interested in seeing your solution.

The only way I could get something to shoot was if it was connected to the target by a flex piece. But I couldn't trigger two separate sets of moving parts at the same time, so the best I could come up with was a cannon that shot balls connected to the target by multiple transparent ropes.

do you want to post a picture? It's Ok with me. also, to get it to connect, you just need to make it have a few base plates.

What the heck happened to the string?

Well done! If this can be done now I'm guessing TLG has been playing around with the idea... Here's hoping to see it more polished in LDD 5

[Zblj]

Seems like all the fundations are there, just the engine needs to be tweaked. Great ideas you got there!
