Arrow with rope attached to it

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I have been trying to implement a harpoon/grappling hook idea.  I ‘kind of’ have if working, but the rope seems to pull apart when it gets too long.  I have added a distance joint to try and add extra support, but it still seems to happen.

As a note, I started with I Horace’s code for the arrow trajectory and slightly changed it   https://gist.github.com/HoraceBury/9544932

I have relied heavily on Eds maths library for the maths side of things.

I will keep plugging at what I have, but if anyone can figure out a way to stop it pulling apart then awesome.  

If anyone finds this useful then great!

PS.  I realize the rope is not tracing back to the origin,  it was when I had the segment set at 16 but not now.  I will get around to looking at this at some stage.

Hey,

I have made some progress, it kind of works, but is not really usable at this stage.  It works when I set the density of the thing to be lifted to 0, any higher and it breaks down.  The rope also falls apart when you shoot it over an obstacle.

Code is attached if anyone else has any ideas or need.

Cheers,
