I have 4 objects placed in a row and joined together with rope, obi rope, using "Pin Constraints". All ropes are exactly the same but only one works correctly. That is, if I throw the two objects that are hooked to the running rope, drag the rest of objects, but if I throw the others the rope will stretch and never move the other objects. How can I do for all objects to be dragged away?

Hi wifor,

Can you go into more details about your setup? Is it like this?:

object---rope---object----rope----object-----rope----object

If this is the case (3 separate ropes, and not a single long rope joining all 4 objects), are all ropes using the same solver? (this is extremely important). Otherwise you would be simulating 3 separate systems, and each rope would completely ignore the existence of the other ropes.
Thanks Jose. That is the problem. I have a solver for each rope.
