Help Obi rope Not working as advertised

[tomasw33]

You mention that the issue is the rope fell out of camera due to gravity, so it did work. However the basic steps result in a basic rope, not attached to anything.


The "videos" page containing all videos is linked right at the top of the manual, it's hard to miss:

The top menu shows "FAQ", "User Manual", "API", "Videos", "Performance", "References" and "Support". The link to the manual is in the quickstart guide, our webpage, and the about window. Feedback is most welcome though, where would you like to have these links?

Not sure what you mean, it's literally the first thing mentioned in the "Attachments" page of the manual:

First line of "Setting up colliders" section in the manual:

The included Quickstart manual in the project:

Yes, the information is in there IF you already Know where to look for it. It might help if the obi rope section itself referenced needing an anchor point, or that the constraint section had important information to avoid this. As it is, as someone with literally no knowledge of the asset I came in and became frustrated and upset. After spending a good deal of figuring it out I know how it works and I am happy with it. Just pointing out the information is a little difficult to find initially, especially coming in knowing nothing about how this works. For instance, why would I know that the rope didn't automatically anchor itself when that isn't mentioned in the obi rope section or the quickstart manual included with the download? In fact the only reason I thought to try looking up the attachment script is because I worked with obi fluid before and had some experience with the fact that these assets usually need a lot of new scripts added in to work.
