Rigging Question... :)

[Capel]

Ok, i'm back to trying to get this stupid thing to work, but it's just not happening. I want the blue part to pivot from the RED X when i pull on the body(BROWN COLOR), so that the tip of the claw stays anchored on the ground while the rest leans forward. Right now, if i pull the body(BROWN COLOR) too far, it just pulls the whole claw with it and the claw doesn't bend. The other pieces of the leg work right, but i just want the claw(BLUE PIECE) to pivot from the RED X. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone tell me how to rig this so that it works the way i descirbed?

Send your IK all the way down to the red X. You`ll need a goal null just there.

Good luck!

Move the pivot point for the sharp blue thingy down to the red X. Make sure that unaffected by IK is NOT turned on for the sharp blue piece. Also download my free spiderbot rig from my website. Its not too different from what youre trying to do
