how to move object on the rope like spline? - emreaa - 28-04-2020

Hello,

I want to move player or any gameobject move on rope way like a spline.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Yes, use:

Code:
rope.GetComponent<ObiPathSmoother>().GetSectionAt(normalizedCoord);

normalizedCoord ranges from 0 (start of the rope) to 1 (end of the rope). This method will return a ObiPathFrame struct, that contains rope position, color, thickness and orthonormal frame (tangent, normal, binormal) at that coordinate.

Note that unlike splines, ropes do not consistently define twist along their main axis. Rods do, though.

Hello, 

Thanks for answer.

I tried this code but there is no variable of normalizedCoord.

Thanks.

It was just a placeholder. Obviously you should pass your own normalized coordinate, depending on where along the rope you want the object to be.
