Get rope/rod stretch lengh? - JhonatasFarias - 27-02-2021
Hi there, is there a way i can identify/get the lenght of a rope or rod via script?
i mean like in stationary pose it is about 100% long... then streching it i see it's something like 120% long from initial pose... or initial pose is 1m then streching it's about 1.2m... 1.3m...

You can get both the rest length (stationary length, 100% in your example)
Code:
float restLength = rope.restLength;And the current length (including any stretching, 1.2, 1.3, etc):
Code:
float length = rope.CalculateLength();The ratio between both (length/restLength) gives you a measure of strain: <1 if the rope is compressed, ==1 if the rope remains at rest length, > 1 if the rope is stretched.

Thanks!
