I'm trying to make a simple clock with a moving pendulum. The pendulum is linked to the object above it. and should rotate at the top of the pendulum instead of around it's center (like it does now) I thought I could link it to an extra object above the pendulum and make that object rotate but if I do I can't link it all together and keep the pendulum plus it's 'rotator' rotate. The top part consists of 2 objects the box with all the mechanical clock parts in it and the front. I first link the mechanical box and the front together then I link the pendulum to that. It works but I need a another part between the pendulum and the clock to make the rotation right but it just doesn't work when I link it together either the rotation part moves by itself or... the whole clock :( anyone who knows how this should be done?

Make the pendulum an animated texture. It's the easiest way.
