I made a helper blueprint recently called MultipleCableActor to address the issue that CableActors/CableComponents are a ***** to set up and use, even if you’re okay with the limited feature set (which is fine for just pretty ropes around your environments). Releasing it for free on here.
**Things it does
**-let you specify any number of cable sections with their own end points that you can drag around, so a single cable can be strung up from many points along the ceiling/whatever
-automatically keep the UVs consistent across all your ropes regardless of length (tiling still adjustable)
-let you specify different amounts of “slack” on the rope for each section, or specify a Uniform Slack to use for every section
