Articulation Body Tension ? - trungleau17 - 13-08-2021

Hi all,
I'm currently looking for a solution to use the Obi Rope pulling an articulation body's object 
I tried with a RigidBody and it went well, however, the articulation object didn't react to the rope
Thank you for all your help

Hi there,

Articulated bodies work in a completely different way than rigidbodies do, and they aren't supported by Obi as of now.
Specific support for them must be added, which we will likely do in the future.

An articulated body chain is like a mini-solver of its own. Whenever an impulse is added to an articulated body, it must be propagated trough the entire chain.
