Bug / Crash 2D Rope Rotation

[DragonControl]

Hi,

Just took a look at your other post (the "Look rotation viewing vector is zero") and I think both are related. The extruded rope renderer uses something known as "parallel frame transport" that requires calculating the direction from each particle in the rope to the next one. If there's two particles in the exact same position, it will be impossible to calculate a direction from one to the other, so the rope mesh will be incorrectly calculated. As the rope moves around these particles might sometimes separate enough that the direction can be correctly calculated.

This will throw off any calculations that involve calculating the local direction of the rope, and both extruded mesh generation and cursor gizmo drawing depend on it.

The only way I can think of for two particles to overlap each other is to generate a rope blueprint with multiple identical control points. Is this rope procedurally generated?(have you created it trough a script?)

kind regards,

I use the path editor when setting up the rope's blueprint and there doesn't appear to be multiple particles overlapping each other. It was not procedurally generated/created through a script. Is there a way for me to fix this? Should I just remake the blueprint.

Thank you so much for the help.
