Hey.

Been trying to figure this out for a few days now and I am no closer than I was than I started.

Here's an image of what I am trying to do:

An explanation: I want to be able to rotate the cog and it should pull the rope through the pulley system and finally pull the box up or down depending on which way I rotate the cog.

I have gone though countless tutorials but all of them stop short of what I need this to do.

Any thoughts on how to create this?

you can achieve that with a driven key if you don't need to see the rope actually coiling around the pulley.

if you need to see the rope deforming and stuff and need details just use a chain of dynamic constraints(pins) with active(with hinges) and rigid bodies.
