Help Issue with Rope Consistency!

[josemendez]

Honestly I'm not really familiar with them, but I tried all the possible ways you suggest, and this is what I got:

- Increasing substeps + increasing distance constraints = Fixed the rope go through other, but the rope is not soft and not foldable (like a hard cable).
- Keeping the substeps at 1 + increasing bend constraints = soft and foldable rope, but it go through the other, and the collision didn't happen properly.

With bend constraints you've done the opposite of what you should do: do not increase their interaction count, that would only make the rope less bendable. Either deactivate them, or increase their compliance and/or their max bending. Compliance will make then less stiff, and max bending will allow some amount of bending before they kick in.

The combination you want is: Increase substeps + increase max bending.

I want the rope to be soft and foldable and at the same time it should stretch with other objects (and return to its initial length after) and don't go through them.

Obi is a particle-based engine. The rope is basically a chain of particles, so if you overstretch it you will be opening gaps in-between particles trough which other objects/ropes will pass. Adding a ObiParticleRenderer component to the rope should make this point obvious. You can't stretch a rope past its maximum length and still expect it to catch all collisions, collision detection just doesn't work like this.
