Hello so how can I make it that when my landing gear is down the hinge is floppy, and when I bring up the gear the hinge moves a couple of degrees and locks into place to fit snuggly in my aircraft?

thanks for the suggestion @SilverStar I'll try to implement that instead of a fake flopper
@hpgbproductions I'm not sure this is possible, unless making a code that mimic the behaviour of a floppy rotator.
I think the easiest way is to do the same as in real life, with mechanical assemblies.
To do that you should add a shock absorber part between your 2 parts connected to your hinge (with a floppy hinge at each end of the shock absorber), like this it will have a default orientation when there is no force, but it can rotate. You can also add a piston with the shock absorber if you want to set a specific default orientation when the gear is extended.
There is a way to make rotators that appear to toggle between floppy and non-floppy, and it works by feeding the input of a floppy rotator to a non-floppy one. I've never used it before so I don't know the specifics
