    Gah, i wish there was a way to get help without spamming threads. oh well.

    i have another issue. Whenever i add slide nodes to my rail it becomes super explosive. The nodes bounce back and forth on the rail. I can send someone my jbeam, so long as its not some random joe. you have to have experience.

    heres my slidenode section
    Code:
            "slidenodes": [
    
         ["id:", "railName", "attached", "fixToRail", "tolerance", "spring", "strength", "capStrength"],
    
         ["torsion0l", "torsionbarl", true, true, 0, 10000000, 100000000, 345435],
         ["torsion3l", "torsionbarl", true, true, 0, 10000000, 100000000, 345435],
         
           ["torsion0r", "torsionbarr", true, true, 0, 10000000, 100000000, 345435],
           ["torsion3r", "torsionbarr", true, true, 0, 10000000, 100000000, 345435],
    
    ],
    here is my rail section
    Code:
        "rails": {
    
          "torsionbarl":{"links:":["gb3l", "torsionmountl"], "looped":false, "capped":true}
          "torsionbarr":{"links:":["gb3r", "torsionmountr"], "looped":false, "capped":true}
    },
    
    and here is a diagram of what im trying to do

    Slidenodes/rails are like beams too, if the "spring" of the rail is too high for the slidenode or rail end nodes, it will blow up from instability when you try to attach a node. As well, when the jbeam is loaded, it tries to force the slidenode onto the rail. If it is spawning too far away from the rail, things can be a bit destructive ;)
