Help Rod model and other Fly Fishing questions

[josemendez]

So I did try the bone things and I'm having good result on the rod physic with a nice model. The only thing is I can'tfind a good way to attach the rope at the top. When stitching the stitch moves back to the handle when starting, and attachments doesn't move the rope.

Make sure you're not stitching the rope to the handle, when using the stitcher make sure you have the Gizmos button in the scene view enabled. Two small squares joined by dotted line should appear, you can drag the squares around to stitch together the particles closest to them.

Here is what my bone gizmos looks like when I start:
What am I doing wrong?

What does your bone hierarchy look like? Could you share the rod model you're using for this? (you can send it to support(at)virtualmethodstudio.com)

Also another question: I'm changing the length of the rope at runtime, how can I preset a profil for the generated section. For example, I want the first meter to be X radius and Y mass, then the next 3 meters Z radius and K mass etc... Right now I'm generating with the blueprint and the Rope Cursor component ... Should I move the source cursor to different position on the blueprint?

The cursor can only create instances of already existing particles, you can select which particle along the rope to sample by moving its "source mu" parameter. This said, you can tweak any property of any particle at runtime via scripting, so you should be able to get the last (or first) element in the rope and set the properties of the particles at either end to whatever values you want. See:

One last thing, could be a bug, if your rope is inside a prefab, the stitch from the stitch component is not saved.

Thanks, will look at it! stitches are stored in a serialized list so they should be stored fine in prefabs as well (t least in theory).

kind regards,
