Hi,

I want to have a rope hanging between two poles, representing an electrical cable. I created a rope object, assigned a line renderer to it and a curve editor. 
Inside the curve editor I positioned the two points at the positions of the two poles, selected the first and last particle and assigned a handle for each. The distance iteration property of the obi solver is at 3. On the rope the distance constrain stretching scale is at 0.01 and all stiffnesses at 1.

If I hit play now (the in-editor-playing doesn't work for me) the rope hangs inbetween both points correctly, but in the middle it stretches way more than I would like it to stretch (far through the floor).

I read a little bit in the forum but the solutions provided don't help me like decreasing the time step of our whole game. 

There must be a way to determine the length of a rope I believe? Could you give me a hint how to solve this issue?

Best regards,
Daniel

I'm getting the below errors when creating a build for my game.

I noticed a previous post suggested that the error was related to this line of code not being present in the shader. BUT IT IS present in both of the shaders.

I'm Using Unity 2017.4.24f and ObiRope 3.2 and ObiCloth 3.2

Thanks.

Hey all,
I just bought Obi Cloths and wanted to look at some of the demo scenes.
Unfortunately none of them work. Please see the provided link for clarification. here
I am on Unity 2019.1.3f

Dan

hey there Obi, 
first of all, i love the product, such an easy way to generate amazing results.

we would love using it in our product, that unfortunately has been built on unity 2017, was wondering if there is a supporting version available?

Hello,

I'm seeing a lot of jitter for a rope on both ends - it has pin contraints on one end, and fixed pos/rot on the other in Unity 2018.4.8.

The pin constraints on one side are pinned to an object with a rigid body that is set to kinematic because it is moved by a player in VR.  The rope is parented under a different object with a rigid body that is also set to kinematic to be moved by the player's other hand in VR.

I've tried making sure the phases are the same and increasing the iterations of Pins, with no change.

Changing the update order to anything other than FixedUpdate makes the side with fixed constraints look correct, but it causes the side with the pinned constraints to wig out and go down through the floor for some reason.

This "down through the floor" behavior happens if I follow the pendulum tutorial online and set the update order to AfterFixedUpdate or Late, so I assume that for a pin constraint, this is just not the correct order in general.

I know this is an odd combination, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious in the setup.

Any thoughts or pointers?

Thanks!

Hi Obi,

I just purchased Obi Fluid yesterday to make my game. But I experienced difficulty in implementing it, and currently I'm stuck in Distance Fields.
Referring to this thread, that has resolved my initial issues so far (the lag for using raw mesh collider), I am now able to create Distance Field for my fbx glass mesh.
However, when implementing it on sample scene FaucetAndBucket, it seems that the Distance Field doesn't work at all.
The water seems to just went through the mesh.

How do I resolve this?

Hello.

I'd like to move softbody object with script.
for example, attach above code to softbody object.

I have some problems with the ObiFluid. I want a beaker to contain the liquid, and move it around to dump. Can anyone help me if they've run into these problems and solved them?
1. Some drops of liquid "phase" through the beaker. The beaker has the KinematicVelocities, ObiRigidBody, and ObiCollider scripts.
2. The liquid is "jello-like" when I move the beaker with the liquid. Is there some settings I could do to make it not like jelly/honey? I've played around with the emitter material values but nothing works yet.

Any help/suggestions is well appreciated, thanks!

Hi, great asset btw. 

Is there a way to programmatically calculate the points of the rope? I wish for the rope to curl around a cylindrical object much like a firehose. 
And is there a way to programmatically force the rope to be a fixed length during set up?

Thank you so much.

I am running into an interesting problem. I am trying to create a new gameobject, attach an Obi Particle Handle component to it, set a particles mass and velocity to 0, then add that particle to the handle. I have tried to do this in almost every order possible by creating the gameobject first, adding the particle first, zeroing out mass and velocity first, and no matter what order the operations are done in inevitably the model freaks out and disappears, or only the particle itself freaks out. I have also tried to setup the handle in the editor and then disable and enable it at runtime but this also causes weird behavior.
