Clamping rope length

That’s simply impossible to do: how would you keep a 2 meter long rope attached to two immobile objects that are 3 meters apart from each other, without it stretching (or breaking)?

There’s only two options: either the rope stretches (if you’re using kinematic objects and/or static attachments) or the rope applies forces which prevents the objects from separating (if you’re using non-kinematic rigidbodies with dynamic attachments).

If your objects are kinematic or not rigidbodies at all, they’re immobile as far as physics are concerned (cannot receive or react to forces) so the rope can’t keep them from separating and has no other option but to stretch.

cheers,
