Hi!
I'm modelling a small tracked vehicle and want to use the DistanceIdler, as IRL the vehicle has a static track tensioner.
Anyways. I'm  struggeling to set up the ider.json.
Say, I want to have my idler wheel end up at point (Wx, Wy, Wz) (coordinates relative to vehicle frame). During track initialization it can be at point (Wx+d, Wy, Wz) (a bit more foreward) and then move back during e.g. 0.5s.

Can I set the idler to (Wx+d, Wy, Wz) in the assembly.json and then have it move by (-d,0,0) with the idler.json?

Thanks
Gerald
