Help Grab Rope - VR

[josemendez]

So I created a script which enables and disables Kinematic and Particle attachments based on the "node" grabbed. I want the kinematic nodes to follow the transform of the closest Particle. How can I achieve that via script ?

Should be pretty straightforward: iterate over all particle positions, find the closest one, and then set the kinematic object's position to that. See:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/tutor...icles.html

Obi exposes particle positions that you can iterate over, the rest of it is run of the mill code.
Let me know if you have trouble calculating distances, finding the closest, etc.


Edit: if the idea is to have one kinematic rigidbody per particle, and then use these for collision detection and grabbing, that's not a good one imho. Particles already perform collision detection and can be pinned to any position of a body, so this is just reinventing the wheel. Having a rigidbody per particle won't be very performant, either. A good solution is to iterate over contacts, find the one closest to the hand, and pin it (as Xanduffy's code does).
