Need help making boss

Post by NARFNra »

Okay, I have this boss idea in my mind, but my plans to make it work are messing up. Does anybody know how tomake a tentacle retract and extend? I know it involves differing horizontal motion, but it just doesn't work right. Please, someone make an example?

I would rather see an example of what you're trying to do and what you're coding. Are you trying to make a tentacle swinging from side to side or expanding outwards in a straight line and then going back in?

I want it to extend straight forward, and sort of:

Do you mean like this?
The top one shows how it looks like and the other one shows the hidden parts.
EDIT: Added forcefields to show connections.

If you want it to extend part by part it's a bit more complex.
EDIT2: Made an example of that one too.
