Help ReattachingParticle

Rope particles have no rotation or orientation of any kind, so neither do ropes. Particles are just points, and ropes are simply a sequence of lines drawn from one point (particle) to the next. You can't control rope "rotation", because there's no rotation. As stated in the manual:


If you want to explicitly control orientation, use rods instead.


Tangents only exist in the blueprint, since their only purpose is to define a bézier curve for initial particle placement. At runtime, path tangents have no influence at all on the simulation.


I think what you mean by "the rotation of rope ends" is simply the position of particles other than the one at the end. If you want to constraint the "rotation" of the rope, you need to attach more than one particle in the rope. From a geometrical point of view, you can think of it this way: a single point in space does not define a "direction" or "orientation". Two points however, do.

Oh thanks - so the second particle was the problem of such behavior...

Users usually don't know what intristic works are done- so they know only about blueprint editors which shows tangents and orientations- so I thought thats how its adjusted- now everything is a lot easier

Off the topic, but do u have any ready rope blueprints looking like this?
