i want to clone parts that are welded together when the player walks so it lengthens but when they walk towards the rope/cloned parts it gets shorter


i want the parts that get cloned to act like that rope and how the way it lengthens and shortens

#2

This feels like you need coding help. But you can use magudite. Which is a distance thing.

yea i i just dont know how i would even start to code that

#4

Follow a tutorial on magudite. Or IK.

This is a property of the rope constraint called Restitution… play with this value and your rope will stretch more and return to its previous length.

alright ill try that᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼

well what im trying to do is make it with parts so it can collide with objects

#8

That’s fine, it doesnt change my answer. Make your parts and make the rope constraint between them… and set the length of the rope and then change its Restitution value upwards (between 0 and 1).

One part will remain anchored, and the other won’t.

okay ima try that right now᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼

Check out this video:

#11

that’s not what I’m trying to achieve, I’m trying to make a rope that has collisions using parts because cancollide isn’t a property of rope

#12


something like this but it lengthens and shortens like a rope when the player gets closer and farther from the start

#13

using a script of course ᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼

#14

do you think you can help me script it?

#15

For this I will have to do on Friday due to time.

ok᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼᲼

while wait() do
	local mag = (workspace.A.Position - workspace.B.Position).Magnitude
	script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(0.232, 0.25, mag)
	--script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new()
end

This isn’t the best code but it gets some of it done!
Also make sure the parts don’t have cancollide on or else it will push the parts.

so i kinda need collisions so the rope acts like a real rope but ill use this code and try to figure something out, thank you!
