Help  Can't get surface collisions to work

If you're stretching the rope beyond its rest length, there's only two options: either A) the rope will break or B) collisions will be ignored as that would stretch the rope further which isn't allowed unless the rope is elastic. If your rope is not breakable, then the only option is obviously B).

This is what happens in the real world too. Think about a real inelastic rope that's 2 meters long, both ends firmly attached to columns. Now you place an infinitely heavy object on top of the rope, to pull it down: either the rope would break, or -if it had infinite resistance- it would cut trough the object.

Options:
- allow the rope to have some slack.
- make the object it is colliding against non-kinematic so that the rope can push against it.
- make the rope elastic by increasing its stretching compliance.

kind regards,
