Spawn obi rope with scripted transform and attachment - anxis - 17-04-2026
Hi, I'm making a game based on the same core idea as Chained Together. I spawn my players at runtime, and with that in mind, I also spawn a prefab that contains a solver and a rope. Then I attach the start of the rope to Player 1 and the end to Player 2.
This part works well the rope is correctly attach but its placement is completely off.
So I'm wondering do I need to change the way I manage this system, or is there a way to adjust the rope path via scripting?

Attachments attach the rope at whatever its current position is, relative to the object it's being attached to. They won't automatically change the length/shape of the rope to reach the attachment point or anything like that.
So if Player1 and Player 2 may be at different positions everytime they spawn, spawning a rope prefab won't work at all since the rope is always the same one. You must instead create a new rope that goes from Player1.position to Player2.position.
See "scripting actors" in the manual for code that creates a solver, blueprint and rope entirely trough code:

let me know if you need further help.
kind regards
