Particle Attachment has weird offset

[ccfggez]

Is the tip of the rope exactly on top of the tip of the rod, at the time of being attached?

Attachments attach particles at their current position relative to the target. Otherwise they'd "jump" to the target and a lot of kinetic energy would be added to the rope resulting in unwanted motion. If you just instantiate the rope and attach it to the rod, it will remain attached at whatever position it was instantiated in.

Simply position the rope properly before attaching it.

I see, thank you! I was able to fix it by making my rope as short as possible in the prefab and then placing it on top of the tip at instantiation.
