Moving Part along a RopeConstraint?

first of all yes im aware a similar post here, but it doesnt have the solution/ the solution i dont really know.

second its self explainable, here a video


it isnt a good presentation by any means but you got the idea what i mean by “moving part along a rope”

I think the other post pretty much explained in the right way how to do it. You can’t really get any values or coordinate points from the rope itself sk you’ll have to make an aproximation of what the curve is like. You could check on the internet about how to calculate to end points with a curve functions and other math things. Sincerly I couldn’t really help since the rope curve and the 2 end points distance might be relative but what I would do is pretty much what’s said in the other post.

thank you for your answer, yes im thinking about using bezier curve to do it, but i dont think it will do the best job. and yes you cant get rope coordinate/position sadly

Yes i think the bezier curve is the best solution. There are some plugins that allow you to generate some bezier curves but honestly I think it’s more gratifying to do the formula yourself and make it work.

You do not need Bézier curve’s any longer thanks to me, besides Bézier curves are not catenary curves whereas rope constraints are.
