Help Obi Rod Blueprint in Script

[josemendez]

Hello!

I want to add the Obi Rod Blueprint to the Obi Rod in a Script, is this even possible?
The reason is, that I manipulate the Control Points in the Blueprint, depending on which case I have.
And when I add the Blueprint first to the Rod, then the manipulation of the Control Points in the general Obi Rod Blueprint Script has no effect anymore…

Or is there a way to change the Control Points in Script afterwards?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Greetings

Hi there,

You can create/modify blueprints at runtime, create/modify curve control points, and assign the blueprint to a rope at runtime. It's explained in detail (with sample code) here: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutor...ctors.html

Don't expect to be able to modify existing ropes by changing their blueprint after it has been instantiated, though.

Just to make things clear: once you instantiate an actor, it is no longer tied to the blueprint in any way. Blueprints act as a "instruction manual" for the actor to know were to place particles and how to interconnect them using constraints. In this regard, they act just like prefabs: once you instantiate a prefab, modifying the prefab has no impact on the existing instances.

Control points only exist as a way to easily define a curve along which to place particles and define the rope's rest shape. Neither the curve nor its control points have any impact on existing ropes once their simulation has begun.
