Help Swinging on rope

[quent_1982]

Hello, I need your explanation of all ways to attach my player to a rope so that he is attached to the rope as tightly as possible and stays on it without small jumps and etc. Also, for my situation, it is important that the player can calmly swing on the rope an physically act on it. At the same time, the rope should be not too tight and too soft, something between.

Hi!

If you want the player to climb up/down the rope, a pinhole is the best option. You can use the "VineSwinging" sample scene as reference.

If you merely want the player to swing from the end of the rope, a dynamic ObiParticleAttachment will suffice. See the "RopeGrapplingHook" scene for a complete example.

Also, for my situation, it is important that the player can calmly swing on the rope an physically act on it.

Both of the above scenes contains a sample physics-driven character controller that allows two-way interaction between the character and the rope.

At the same time, the rope should be not too tight and too soft, something between.

You can control both the bending and stretching elasticity of the rope using its stretch/bend compliance parameters.

kind regards,

Thanks for reply, but I need to dynamically attach my player to almost every part of the rope and all of Obi Examples does not seem too much helpful for my case. I've tried ObiParticleAttachment and it is too jumpy and does not look good.

Both of the sample scenes I mentioned attach the player dynamically (that is, at runtime without any pre-existing attachments created in-editor). In particular, the VineSwinging example dynamically attaches the player to *any* part of the rope. You can take a look at the source code for both:

- Obi/Samples/RopeAndRod/SampleResources/Scripts/ExtendableGrapplingHook.cs
- Obi/Samples/RopeAndRod/SampleResources/Scripts/VineClimbController.cs

I've tried ObiParticleAttachment and it is too jumpy and have completely not good looking.

Make sure the character is not colliding against the rope when attached to it. This will lead to jittery/jumpy attachments as explained in the manual (since it is not physically possible for the rope to be simultaneously attached inside a collider and be outside the collider):

I'll check, thanks again!
