Landing Gear

For landing gear How do I get them to retract after a certain amount of time and is there a simple way to do it?

    Simple code for animating rotators and pistons that make a single movement during retraction and extension. All rotator and piston speeds at 100%.
    lerp(EXT_INPUT, RET_INPUT, inverselerp(FULL_EXT_TIME, FULL_RET_TIME, smooth(GearDown?0:ANIM_TIME,1))
    EXT_INPUT: rotator input when fully extended (usually 0)
    RET_INPUT: rotator input when fully retracted
    FULL_EXT_TIME: time of starting the retracting motion
    FULL_RET_TIME: time of ending the retracting motion
    ANIM_TIME: total time you choose for the entire gear animation (same for all gear parts)

    Yes there is. Bur only by using funky trees (It hase some time based functions) But to give you more information I would need to know more. Do you really want to retract it after a certain amount of time no matter what??
