Coil up a rope and disable physics on it - mandark83 - 07-02-2019
Hi,
I'm using OBI rope 4.0 asset.
I want to coil it up so I can put it in a locker.
When I pick it from the locker again it should then expand to it's original length.
My questions:
1. Can I make a coiled up version of the rope and disable all physics on it?
2. How to wrap it in a custom shape?
3. How to disable physics on the rope? Disabling components randomly only makes the rope mesh disappear.
Thank you

1.- Yes, simply adjust the source curve to any shape you want. Then disable the ObiSolver component to stop the simulation.
2.- By using curves.
3.- By disabling the solver.

@josemendez managed to wrap rope in desired shape without physics, thank you
