Rope

[cassius]

I rember in le 1.13 there was an example of a rope implementation. Is this still feasible in le 2.31?

When i remember correctly, that demo was made using balljoints to link the rope parts together.

 

I hacked something together for you:

 

DebugPhysics (1);
TBody LastBody = NULL;
TVec3 Vec3Pos = Vec3 (0.0F);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
	Vec3Pos = Vec3 (0.0F, 0.0F, (float)i * 6.0F);
	TBody NewBody = CreateBodyBox (0.5F, 0.5F, 5.0F, 0);
	SetBodyMass (NewBody, 1.0F);
	EntityType (NewBody, 1, 0);
	PositionEntity (NewBody, Vec3Pos, 0);
	if (NULL != LastBody)
	{
		TJoint NewJoint = CreateJointBall (NewBody, LastBody,
				Vec3 (0.0F, 0.0F, Vec3Pos.Z * 0.5F), 
				Vec3 (0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F));
		SetBallJointLimits (NewJoint, 2.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
		SetJointCollisionMode (NewJoint, 0);
	}
	LastBody = NewBody;
}

 

Far from ideal, but it has some kind of a rope structure

Nice Dadonik,

 

I am going to try to make a Lua variant on this. Thanks

Aggror I would really appreciate if you share the .lua once you did one.

[AggrorJorn]

I will share it ofcourse, but try not to get your hopes up to high. most of my projects never see the daylight.
