How do i make a gib that stretches and squishes under a crusher or door, kinda like the ones in nashgore?

Just open nashgore and take a look how nash done it. He did it in zscript, so you can get inspirated by his approach.

i looked through it, but im confused by the 'NashGoreStatics' stuff

And you think someone else wil solve it for you, or what? Just start digging through it, you'll learn something new. Yoy know, learning takes some time, so be patient.

The class follows a common pattern in ZScript to have an otherwise unused/useless class or struct filled with static functions, so that they can be called from anywhere. In ZScript, there's no way to just have free-floating functions, even though the engine does this with built-in functions like sin/cos.

i just fucked around in nashgore and found out that the 'nashgorestatistics' stuff isnt needed for stretchy gibs, and i think i kinda know how the stretchy gib works now
