This is super cool! Do you mind describing how you did it (even just in very general terms)?

Sure! It’s done with two movers, a few canvas primitives, and some basic I/O connections.

  • There is a “bru-ray” player hidden under the CD enclosure which is linked to the nightclub media player above, and so it will forward any physical media thrown at it to the screen. Most of the objects are noclipped to allow the CD to hit the bru-ray player and allow it to play the media.
  • One mover moves the cover into place when media starts playing. The cover and mechanical arms are grouped into a single item to allow a single mover to move multiple objects at once.
  • Another mover starts spinning the CD when media starts playing, and stops it when media stops. The CD is a blank template not the same one thrown at it to play media, and is “hidden/shown” based on if media is playing or not.
