I want to click on my rope, from any length or side, by using RayCast.

Can I not use RayCast to interact with my rope?

Raycasts only work with Unity colliders. Obi is a particle-based engine, so you can’t use Unity’s raycast methods with it.

You can use the ObiParticleDragger / ObiParticlePicker components, they do exactly what you want. The picker raycasts against particles (using a simple point-ray distance test) and calls click/drag/release events. The dragger subscribes to those events and implementd particle dragging.

Kind regards
