ropes just drop | Forums

I want a rope to be able to grab and swing,
But when I place it during the game test it just drops to the ground!

How do I set it in position with the physics on and know it will stay put?

Any help I would be greatful!

Thanks Rossildinio

Use a physics joint to attach one of the ends to something (a dummy object would do)

Can you just explain that a little bit more!
How do I select the end?

This is a set of videos you should start with if you havent already

But to answer a bit further
Spawn a physics joint and go into its properties to configure which objects are joined along with many other joint properties such as type and angular ranges/motors etc.

The rope objects are kinda like multiple objects joined together so if you click the ends of it it will only attach the end and the rest will freefall with gravity when physics is enabled

If this still is no help i advise you to watch the youtube videos to get an understanding of all the basics

Think I got the rope working

Check my skill game 3-2-1 BUNGEE and see if you agree!!
