Obi Rope Help

[jackhanneway]

I'm a beginner to Unity and wanted to make a game like the one attached using Obi Rope. I've been trying and trying but can't seem to get it to work. Can someone please give some tips or steps to follow. Thank you for your time and help.

This game was very likely made with Obi, as the rope normal map texture is the sample one included with the asset. The floor texture is Obi’s logo pattern.

I don’t think the process of making a game like this can be summed up in just a few steps. Also, keep in mind that Obi is aimed at advanced users, so programming skills and basic physics understanding are taken for granted. If you’re new to Unity and/or making games, you’re in for a ride

What have you tried so far? What are you having trouble with? (user interaction, rope collisions, attachments, other?)

Hey, I think the one of the biggest issues I'm having is that the ropes are not colliding properly with one another. It seems like they're just going through each other. Do you have any thoughts on making them wrap around each other and making them properly collide? Thank you!

Hi!

Make sure they have different phase values, otherwise they will ignore each other. See:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutor...sions.html

Also make sure they have enough resolution (you can set this is the rope blueprint, I'd recommend 0.7 or higher), and you're using enough substeps to prevent gaps opening in-between particles. For more info on how the simulation works, and how iterations and substeps affect quality, see:

Nice! I'll check those out. Thanks for the help!
