Hello everyone
Does anyone know if there is way to animate the front sprocket instead of leaving it still?
I tried to link it to the rwheel and move the pivot to its center but didn't work.
Matty managed this a while back, not sure it looked great Tho. Ask him about it 👍

Ok thanks
This was a tip from Manu;
1.Create the front sprocket object, texture it (sprockettexture.tga) and create 2 new blurred textures the same size (sprockettexture_blur1.tga and sprockettexture_blur2.tga)
2.Now add the sprocket object to to your chain object
4.You need to add a 'sprockettexture.txt' file and in the file add the names of your 2 blur textures (sprockettexture is whatever you called the base sprocket texture)
It works OK and looks better than a stationary sprocket, full animation support would be much better.
Ok thanks for reporting this tip. I will try that
Why can't we add just a simple code in the gfx.cfg , for ex. like the clutch rotor, would be much easier lol
Pretty sure animated front sprocket was requested years ago
I did manage to do it but the texture looked shite so i havent gone any further with it.
What if I rename it as clutch-rotor? Since the bike I'm working on is hidden, it could work no?
If you do not need the clutch you can re-use the animation - speed will not match the chain though.

Yep, that's what I thought, so I'll try the first method
