Prefab Creation & Cable Length with Rigidbodies

[josemendez]

Just to make sure I fully understand, do you mean I should place the end connectors as children under ObiSolver? 

No, I meant that the rope itself must be a child (at any nesting level) of a ObiSolver. It's irrelevant whether the end connectors are or not, since they're regular rigidbodies and hence not simulated by Obi.

And then drag ObiSolver to the prefab folder?

What do you mean by this? there's no such thing as a specific "prefab folder" in Unity, you can have prefabs anywhere in your project. I just meant that when instantiating your rope prefab, you should make sure it's inside a solver's hierarchy.

For instance, if you have a solver in your scene that you want to simulate all your ropes, you just pass its transform as the parent. Something like:

Code:

var rope = GameObject.Instantiate(prefab, solver.transform);

let me know if you need further help. cheers!
