Moving object along the rope

[josemendez]

Hi guys. Can anyone give me an advice on which features to use to attach an object to a rope and move it along, like along a dynamic spline?
    I wanted to use Particle Attachment and move the path point assigned in there, but as far as I understood, you can't move path points like this. So the thing is what should I do?

You can use:

Code:

var section = rope.GetComponent<ObiPathSmoother>().GetSectionAt(float mu);

GetSectionAt() takes a normalized coordinate as input (a float from 0 to 1, 0 being the start of the rope and 1 being the end) and returns a struct containing position, normal, tangent and bitangent (a full orthonormal frame) of the rope at that point.

Also see the utility script /Obi/Scripts/RopeAndRod/Utils/ObiRopeAttach.cs for an example of how to use it to place an object along the rope.
