Help distance constraints

[TootsManuva]

Hi,

External forces only affect non-kinematic rigid bodies, and rope can only apply forces trough pin constraints.

So if your character is a kinematic rigid body, or not a rigidbody at all (e.g. you're moving it by directly altering its transform), then no external forces (such as those applied by the rope) will be able to affect it and the rope will just stretch indefinitely in an attempt to follow it.

Same if you've used handles or fixed particles to attach it to the rope. You must use pin constraints.

Thank you so much for your explanation. I will look into alternative methods for constraining my character movement.
