Help helicopter hook

[josemendez]

Any guide or example on making a rope that works like a helicopter hook, ie bit like the jungle strike games.. where the end of the hook can latch onto gameobjects to pick them and swing them, but also hoist them up so the rope length would get shorter?

is this something simple that can be done with obi rope?

Hi,

The Crane and FreightLift sample scenes contain ropes that can be lengthened/shortened, and have a Rigidbody attached to their end (this would be your hook). The only missing piece is latching another object to the hook, which would be done using joints.

kind regards,
