I found a way to simulate basic cable component in local space:

It would be awesome if you can add this feature to VicoDynamics plugin also.

update -
This project was created in 4.22, so was using blueprints from last year. We only have 3 ropes on screen so ive deleted them and created a new actor and used the current version of VDROPE. Compiles and runs again now, but no rope is visible and back to previous error message

hi there dev. Anything brewing for 2022? especially for soft body physics? 
thank you
When I use the Rebuild Rope Attached node the rope goes crazy all over the place. Is there any way to make it stable?
Hey!
I just got your plug-in! Itās really cool! I am trying to get familiar with it, but I am unable to access your website: https://wwwā¦com/ for documentation.
I also need access to the UE5 Plug-in and I sent in my request but havenāt heard back yet.
Any help will be appericiated1
Thank you!
UE5 has finally released and itās time to go back bro.

Thank you! This issue was driving me crazy!
Hi,
Iām using UE5 and I canāt seem to make the VDCollider component to work. I have checked the āEnable Explicit Rigid Body Collisionsā on project settings and the āUse Explicit Rigid Body Collisionā on my actor Rope component. Then I add a VDCollider component to the actor that will collide with the rope, but canāt trigger collisions no matter the combination of settings I try.
If I uncheck the āEnable Explicit Rigid Body Collisionsā I do trigger collisions with my other actor. The problem is if I leave this option unchecked my performance deteriorates drastically.
Thanks!
I kind of solved this by moving the actor with the rope component to the starting location of where the new rope will be attached to and also setting the rotation of the rope to match the orientation towards the end point. All of this at the construction level.
This fixed the crazy movement by some 90%, I still have some minor movement left over but still very helpful.
Hello I am using the plugin on Unreal 5.0.2 it works quite well (except for DX12 or ray tracing crashing the editor at runtime) but I have a serious problemā¦ if I place multiple VDCloth actors in the level the editor always crashes when I press playā¦ any idea?
Hi, I have recently purchased your plug-in and I want to use it to create an operation where I grab a rope by hand and I find that the rope does not have a seal, is there a good solution for this?
Hi there. First, thanks for this plugin!!
I have read that Android is kind of supported. How can I get it running on android though?
android packaged 4.27 cloth component doesnāt work.
the Actor doesn;t show
Hello,
I purchased your plugin and I am trying to access the online documentation with the given link (https://wwwā¦com/documentation/vico-dynamics-ue4-plugin-documentation)
But it seems to be broken (bad gateway 504)
I would really like to read the documentation even if the tutorials on youtube are great
Thank you

Hello,
I am having an issue with the procedural clothing component.
I attached it to a mesh (with complex collision and CCD enabled) that I sweep over time and the cloth goes through it akwardly (the particle collider size and every parameter of the cloth is set by default).
It is attached by two little anchors (sphere colliders) above the static mesh (I paid attention to the distance between the anchors and the mesh so it doesnāt go inside the mesh at initialization).
Do you have any idea on how can I fix this please?
Thank you!

@VICOGameStudio Our project is critically blocked by not having source access as weāre on consoles. Could you please grant me source access? my github user is: msloan.
Or - would anyone else mind sending me a drop of the latest source code? as weāve been unable to make contact with this developer for months.
My email is msloan@pipeworks.com. Thanks so much in advance for anyone that is willing to help.

Iām interested in purchasing the plugin but Iām seeing people requests source code access. Isnāt the source code included when you purchase the plugin like any other code plugins in the marketplace?
The reason Iām asking is that the plugin is not upgraded to 5.4 and it wouldnāt be possible to upgrade it personally if we have no access I suppose.
Hi! Is there any chance to get source code? I was requesting it a while ago, send about 10 letters, but still no luckā¦
