Help Changing rope length using variable

[josemendez]

I have a pool particle size of 1000.

Unity was just freezing whenever it would try to run the
Code:
set_control()

from the set_control() function, I removed the check condition
Code:
        while (c1_len != c1_control_ip)

Unity froze in that while loop for an obvious reason: neither variable used as the condition to break the loop (c1_len and c1_control_ip) changes once inside the loop. So once execution enters the loop, it will never exit.

However it just set the rope length instantly and did not change it continuously over time from the current length.
Any idea on how to achieve that.

This is a basic programming question, not really related to Obi. If you want to increase a variable, you just add a value to it using the "+" operator.
Something like:

Code:

ropeLength = ropeLength + increment;
cursor.ChangeLength(ropeLength);

To make it frame rate independent, just multiply the increment by the time passed since the last frame:

Code:

ropeLength = ropeLength + increment * Time.deltaTime;
cursor.ChangeLength(ropeLength);

You have a working example of this in the included "Crane" sample scene.
