Hello.

How to create physics-enabled, CryEngine-styled ropes in UE 4.9?

For example - ropes in CryEngine:

How to do it in UE 4.9?

Hey there.

By default there isn’t anything like that out-of-the-box from UE4. If you have any programming knowledge you could maybe modify spline actors to rebuild in real time. Spline actors by default allow you to create roads/ropes in editor but I’m not sure if they work real-time!

Also, I believe the marketplace just released a dynamic rope project you can buy and dissect!

Cheers

I am sorry, but no rope assets on MP: Browse and Search the Unreal Engine Marketplace - UE Marketplace …

Dang it, I probably saw it under the ‘under approval’ section.

Meanwhile, I did find this plug in for ropes!

I don’t know how much it helps you, I didn’t have time to check it myself, but it looks promising.

Ah… Everything in UE is not free… CryEngine have a lot of interesting things for free… But UE - not…
