It seems like with the physics step scripting approach, it's more just matching the rope's position to the rod. Ideally though, if there's weight at the end of the line (fish!) then the rope would tighten up and the rod would bend in response.
Good point! In that case, using a constraint is the only way.
I made a short video on how to use the ObiStitcher component. The two important remarks are:
- Since the rod and the rope now share a constraint, both have to use the same ObiSolver.
- Add the ObiStitcher component to any of them, then use its edit mode to create a stitch between the rod and the rope.
At the end of the video, I crank up the amount of substeps to make the simulation more snappy, and increase damping to reduce vibrational motion.
