Variable slope conveyor

[Kangaroo]

Is it possible to create a conveyor belt with variable slope and flaps that follow the movement of the belt?

There's already one in the library, have you tried the Transports -> Conveyor Flaps component?

Yes, I know. But is not siutable for me, because I need a "variable slop conveyor" where the first part is horizontal and the second one is inclined, but since I also need flaps along the belt, I cannot use two different "conveyor flap" because the flap has to move alog the entire conveyor...
So i'm trying to create a variable slope flapped conveyor but I need some little trouble...
I know how to create a surface with a variable slope on which to apply the movement effect by animating the texture, and I also know how to create planes that make the actual movement (a sequence of three or four planes with different slopes), the only thing I'm missing is getting the flaps to move along the entire conveyor, because they have to follow a curved path and then go back.
if you have any suggestions on how to do this, i would greatly appreciate it

thanx

So, there is no possibility to realize a conveyor with a variable slope?
Thank you.

It is possible to perform the behavior you describe in different ways.
One of them would be to perform a movement in stages, 4 in this case:
1: Forward rectilinear movement stage
2: Curved movement stage to descend to the bottom of the conveyor
3: Reverse rectilinear movement stage
4: Curved movement stage to ascend to the top of the conveyor

Steps 1 and 3 are quite simple, but where you may have more difficulty is in steps 2 and 4.
You can do this by having a pivot point on a component that rotates on its lateral axis, and this causes the flaps to rotate based on the desired radius.
