hey im makin retractable swords that become a staff by the blades retracting into the handles and the handles comming together and extending to make a staff. and of coarse the swords still have to move freely as too different swords and the staff has to move as if it were one object(kinda obvious but o well). this is kind of an unrealistic object but i like it anyway for some reason. if anyone can offer any ideas on how i can construct this or anything it would be greatly appreciatted.
this is what it looks like so far.
