How the ****

I have my rope or chain made for my light I made a prop_physic for my
light thingy and it doesnt show up in my map. How do I do this?

Now this is a question! A rope can carry a ragdoll but not a physbox it seems. Now why is it like this? Im dying to find out.

I suppose this is a answer, it doesnt work. Ragdoll entity does though.

hums tune RAGDOLL

place light dynamic, set parent: Lamp

Place a brush with func_physics, call it lamp

Make a move_rope, set parent to lamp.

Make a keyframe rope on the ceiling, and make it connect with the move_rope

Make a phys_lengthconstraint, and set entity 1 = keyframe_rope, entity 2 = lamp.

Done!

You rock :wink:

DAMN, I knew I should have worked a little more on the solution. Its so obvious! The funny thing is that you can attach a ragdoll straight onto the rope without using a constraint.

Please give your topics more descriptive titles Baddog, and don't swear in topic titles (even with ****'s), it's lame :smile:

Giving it a name like "ropes and physics" or something, anything
descriptive which could help someone else if they see the name of tjhe
topic and have a similar problem..

seeing as I tried to do what I just told, and see that it didnt work, how can u slap a ragdoll directly onto a rope?
