Help (Solved) Ropes allowing objects to pass through them

[josemendez]

Yes they can. However, if your rope resolution is not high enough (meaning there's gaps in between particles trough which small objects can pass), or if the mass ratio between the objects and the particles is high enough so that gaps open as a result of heavy rigidbodies pushing past very light particles, objects might pass trough ropes.

There's many ways to prevent this, these are some of the easiest:
- Increase rope resolution.
- Increase the amount of distance constraint substeps.
- Increase the amount of updater substeps.
- Reduce the mass ratio (either increase particle mass, or decrease rigidbody mass)

Also, adding a ObiParticleRenderer to your ropes will make it easy to debug what's actually happening with the particles. See:
