<span style="color: white;">hi, I know that rope bridges have been discussed before but i think mine is a particular problem. The bridge is fine, its a large physbox suspended by 4 lenghtconstraints, the additional length is set to one and the bridge hangs nicely and when pushed with the grav gun swings. This is fine but when i step on the bridge that is when the bridge starts to shake. This happens especially at either end of the bridge. Is there a way to reduce shaking when travelling on it?
Thanks. </span><html><head><link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/standard.css" type="text/css"></head><body topmargin=2 leftmargin=2>

Are all your constraints managed by one entity? If not they'll "fight" instead of work together. Granted, I'm not really sure how you do that, but I know the purpose. Look into it.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I'm using a constraint system and i think im using it properly, although i noticed something odd, i loaded up the map in garrys mod and in hl2 singleplayer, and the problem disappeared, possibly something to do with hl2 deathmatch.

the problem is caused because physics, moving platforms, and trains were not coded into multiplayer games. (to save on bandwidth) it sux that you cant make trains or elevators that work right because of it.
but because of this coding whenever you are on something that moves be it a barrel or a rope bridge. the player is actually sliding around on it.
so yes your build is fine its just the game that doesent want it to work like that
the only problem with steam updating things every week is it doesent give the developers an incentive to playtest thier work, so we do it for them
