It would be very neat to clear the static variables to support disabled domain reloading.
As of now from time to time it just breaks and ObiColliderWorld is null and no ropes work after you enter playmode before you do a new domain reload.

Hi,
i want to make a realistic fishing line with the Obi Rope. So my problem. I have a fishing rod where the first Particle Group is attachet and one other Particle Group that is attachet to a hook. Now i want to throw the hook into the water with a Rigidbody.addForce() the hook trys to fly away but buggs back to the end of the line. I want the line to follow the Hook when the hook is flying but it looks like the Hook get stopped by the line because the line dont fly with the hook  and dont get longer. The Line should get longer when the hook is flying away. That means the Line should not be strechet ist should get more Length like a real fishing line when you throw it out. And stop for example when it hit collider.tag = "Water". 

In the video i added you can see the Setup and at the end when i start the scene you see the Lure(My Hook) bugs. Everytime it trys to fly forward i press the right mouse Button. So everytime i try to let it fly it buggs back to the end of the line.


And one other question i dont get how the Stretching scale and the Stretch compliance works. When i put the Stretch Compilance on a value like 0.05 my whole hook falls down like 50-100 on the y. is it normal that such a low value = So much stretch? my current value ist 0.0001 and ist still stretching a bit.

My Setup:

The Rope has following Components:
Obi Rope
Obi Path Smoother
Obi Rope Extruder Renderer
Obi Particel attachment x2
Obi Rope Cursor
And my Script that should Refresh the length when the hook is flying.(What is not working)

The Hook Setup:
Rigidbody
ObiRigidbody
Collider
ObiCollider
And a script that throws the Hook away(forward) from the Camera with Rigidbody.Addforce(...., forcemode.impulse)

Hey!
I need your help. I have spent many hours debugging things and trying to work this out on my own.

I have a simple question: How can I enable/disable objects containing Obi Rope as a component or as a child?

Sometimes I would like to be able to turn off specific Obi Rope in the runtime, such as when I put down/ pick up an item or when it changes state. I have no idea how to do this so I don't have visual errors or errors from Burst.

Two videos showing visual/burst errors in the attachments or under these links:

Hello! I just recently bought some of the assets, looked through the docs and am experimenting a bit.

I'm trying to do achieve something like a procedural animation for hooking a static object, where the rope is thrown to do a whip like motion to loop around a cylinder for a few turns to get stuck. I've achieved a version of it by using a rope attached to a collider at it's end, and then using a spline to get the desired whip like motion. First I tried to attach a part of the end rope to the spline, but didn't look too good as the big momentum should be with the collider. Now I'm simply moving the collider with the spline as kinematic & then apply the spline velocity at the end and mark it dynamic. I'm all open to suggestions of how to do this animated physics differentley.

I've had some issues with gaps of my Particle Attatchment to the Unity Collider when I run the sequence. I moved from using a SplineAnimator to evaluating the spline myself in fixedUpdate. But it seems I still have to wait for a certain time before I can set the collider in motion. What is the intended way to set up this dependency?
I also seem to have a general issue that particles at the end of the rope are more sparse where I need them more for more defined collision around the cylinder compared to the slag of rope hanging from the hand where I could do with very sparse amount. Is there any way to distribute more particles at the end of rope or mitigate this?

Thanks for any insight or point to docs that I've missed.

Good morning,

i am creating a simulation where everytime the game gets loaded there is an example shape around some nails an elastic has to reach. 
the elastic is represented by a closed loop obirope. 

in the start method i call a function that sets the elastic global position based on the shape. Now i woul dlike to actually move 2 or 3 particles to create the shape and hook the nails i need to
private void Start()

{
    repetition = GameManager.Instance.GetCurrentRepetition();
    Debug.Log("repetition is : " + repetition);
    SetNailsAndElastic(repetition);

}

private void SetNailsAndElastic(int repetitionNumber)
{
    GameObject[] allNails = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Nail");
    foreach (GameObject nail in allNails)
    {
        nail.GetComponent<Renderer>().material = defaultMaterial;
    }
    switch (repetitionNumber)
    {
        case 1:
            HighlightNails(new string[] { "nail_1_r1", "nail_c_r1" });
            Debug.Log("in rep1");
            elastic.transform.position = new Vector3(-2.17000008f, 0.810000002f, -10.4899998f);
            elastic.TeleportParticle(82, new Vector3(1, 3, 5));

            //elastic.blueprint.positions[82] =  new Vector3(1, 3, 5);

}

this is a small snippet of my code, and this is what i try to do to move that specific particle for example. 
The particle doesn't move though, even if the elastic takes the right position i wrote there

do you have any advice??

I'm using Obi Cloth 7.0.3, in Unity version 2022.3.51f1.

We have a system that automatically generates meshes and turns them into cloths. We've been troubleshooting issues with inconsistent cloth behaviour, and noticed some leaks. The messages don't seem to specify if they're memory leaks, handle leaks or some other kind of leak.

One of the leak logs. They're all related to line 256 of ObiNativeList, and all occur as a consequence of the solver running Initialize() as part of InsertBufferedActor():

Hi, if I have deformed a softbody using obi particle dragger, is there a way to avoid regaining its original shape once I leave the picker? 
Example use case: simulating mesh flipping without it retracting back automatically, etc.

Had some issues with the update from Obi Rope 6 -> 7 in a project that used Obi Rope 6.  Luckily it's a scratch project.

1.  I tried upgrading on top of the old version but saw script errors so I removed all Obi files and installed fresh instead.  Of course, I have scripts and prefabs that depend on the older Obi files, so all of those break in the process of installation.  Even after the other issues were patched below, my existing code runs into Index Of Of Range errors on trying to load my existing rope blueprints, so now I have to see if it's a code issue or a blueprint schema change issue.  [Edit: I see the forum update guide says you have to regen blueprints.  I'm creating them from code, see below.]

2.  The demo scenes use a resource script called FPSDisplay.  It does not use a namespace, so it conflicted with another script I already had called FPSDisplay.  This caused compilation errors and breaks the script references in scenes that used either one (my existing scenes, as well as your demo scenes.)  Even after I added a namespace to my existing FPSDisplay, the script references were broken, so I had to add a namespace to your file and re-add it to the demo scene objects.  I thought Unity demanded all assets used namespaces to avoid this sort of conflict.  [Edit:  Similar breakage on SlowmoToggler which does not have a namespace (I have no such script but your demo scene had a broken link to it and Unity couldn't find it until I added one).]

3.  Many of your demo scenes use a built-in diffuse material for many objects.  Please define your own material for these objects, so that when I update all materials to URP these objects don't remain pink.

4.  There is no longer a type for ObiFixedUpdater.  I had a script that expected this type to force a regeneration of ropes (as I would deactivate and reactivate ropes in proximity to the player).  The CHANGELOG says all ObiUpdater types have been removed.  No guidance on what to do about scripts that referenced them.

Good morning,

I created a code to grasp an obiRope. It is not the first time i use it and untill now it worked fine, I have anotehr simulation that uses the same logic and I have no issues. 
Now when the simulation starts the obiActor is not loaded in the script, even if i associated the code to it or passed it as a reference. 
The grasping works but badly, and I think it is because of this issue.  
the code:
```
using UnityEngine;
using Obi;
using System.Collections.Generic;

[RequireComponent(typeof(ObiActor))]
public class DistanceAnchor : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ObiActor actor;
    public ObiParticleAttachment attachment;
    public Transform anchor;
    public float anchorRadius = 0.5f;
    private ForcepsControl forcepsControl;

    private int groupIndex;
    private bool isGrasping;
    public bool IsGrasping
    {
        get { return isGrasping; }
    }
   

    void Awake()
    {
        actor = GetComponent<ObiActor>();
        forcepsControl = FindObjectOfType<ForcepsControl>();
        if (forcepsControl != null)
        {
            forcepsControl.OnRestPositionReached += CheckAndAnchorParticles;
            forcepsControl.OnReleasePositionReached += Release;
        }
    }



    void CheckAndAnchorParticles()
    {
        if (!actor.isLoaded)
        {
            Debug.LogError("Actor is not loaded");
            return;
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < actor.solverIndices.count; ++i)
        {
            int solverIndex = actor.solverIndices[i];
            float distance = Vector3.Distance(actor.GetParticlePosition(solverIndex), anchor.position);
            Debug.Log($"Distance to Anchor: {distance}, Grasping State: {isGrasping}");
            if (distance < anchorRadius && !isGrasping)
            {
                Grasp(actor, i);
            }
        }
    }



    private void Grasp(ObiActor actor, int index)
    {
        if (attachment != null)
        {
            Destroy(attachment);
        }

        attachment = actor.gameObject.AddComponent<ObiParticleAttachment>();
        attachment.target = anchor; // Attach to the anchor
        attachment.particleGroup = actor.blueprint.AppendNewParticleGroup("GraspedParticles");
        groupIndex = actor.blueprint.groups.Count - 1; // Ensure it's the last added group
        attachment.particleGroup.particleIndices = new List<int> { index };
        attachment.compliance = 0;
        attachment.attachmentType = ObiParticleAttachment.AttachmentType.Static;
        isGrasping = true;

        actor.solver.RemoveActor(actor); // Refresh the actor in the solver
        actor.solver.AddActor(actor);
    }
    private void Release()
    {
        if (attachment != null)
        {
           
            Destroy(attachment);
            actor.blueprint.RemoveParticleGroupAt(groupIndex);
            actor.solver.RemoveActor(actor); // Refresh the actor in the solver
            actor.solver.AddActor(actor);

            isGrasping = false;
        }
    }


    void OnDestroy()
    {
        if (forcepsControl != null)
        {
            forcepsControl.OnRestPositionReached -= CheckAndAnchorParticles;
            forcepsControl.OnReleasePositionReached -= Release;
        }

        // Ensure to release any grasped particles
        Release();

        // Additional cleanup if needed
        if (attachment != null)
        {
            Destroy(attachment);
            attachment = null;
        }
    }
}
```

the error:

Hello,

I have a logic where I need to change the ropes material during runtime. I tried setting obiRopeExtrudedRenderer.material = new Material(copyFrom); it looks like the material is changed in the component itself but it doesn't effect the renderer. I assume this is cached on start. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
