 Re: move_rope and keyframe_rope issue.
Posted by Rambomst on Thu Jul 8th at 12:23pm 2010

I am having a serious issue creating a simple rope and I can't see where I have gone wrong.

This is what it looks like ingame.

The rope is leading to 0,0,0 cords and there are no entity's or brushes at those cords and there are no duplicate names.

This is what it looks like in hammer.







Also I have tried making a func_brush above the light on the roof then connecting the phys_ballsocket ent 1 to the func_brush then connecting ent 2 to the light model but that didn't work either.

iirc in the 06 engine at least, any playable space at 0 0 0 results in all kinds of anomalies, you may be running into one

try selecting your entire map w tex lock on and moving it downwards until 0 0 0 is outside your play area

After doing that the rope just goes through the roof in the direction of 0,0,0.

*edit*

I am not sure if this is linked but I am also having issues getting logic_auto to work. I have it set to to run on OnMultiNewRound but it never activates any of the sounds or other things I have set it to do.

Well, if your logic_auto is not working, my first question to you would be: does your map have a leak?

Then from the first image, I'm guessing even though the rope stretches to the 0,0,0 coordinates, the light model still swings as wanted?

If not, the only thing I can suggest would be to follow this tutorial if you haven't already: Tire Swing.

It looks as though you're missing the phys_lengthconstraint entity. If your setup matches that of the one in the tutorial you might have better results. If not, try posting your compile log, and we may see something in there that tells us what the issue is.

One thing of note in the tutorial: The tutorial assumes it's ok for the physics object attached at the end of the rope to move about freely on a bendable rope. Using a phys_ballsocket will treat the rope like more of a solid rod, and the physics object on the end too. Is that what you're intending?

Using that method allows you to shoot the light into the ceiling, that's why I was using a phys_ballsocket and the rope still didn't work >.<

So here is my compile log.

Also just to add onto that. The map doesn't have a leak and the light model does swing as I wanted.
