Title: Rope System Post by: randomprofile on August 09, 2011, 10:07:32 PM Me and Paul were talking about a rope thing in mythruna and this is just an example of what it could be...

Rope in Mythruna will not be a block type. It will be a special physics object. How it will probably work if I can get it working at all.... You will select the rope as your build object. You will click somewhere and drag. The click sets the rope end and the drag stretches out some length of it. When you release the mouse, that's the length of the rope. If you've attached it to another object then they are now connected. If you left it dangling then it swings in the breeze... ready to be attached to something else or lengthened. At least, that's the simplest interface mechanism I can think of. Flipping it over into the other way, I could click the rope on the back of a chair and drag it out a little before releasing. Now I have a length of rope attached to the chair, just flopped down. If I switch off of the rope tool and back to a regular hand or glue or something then I can pick up the end of the rope and attach it to the ceiling. Now I have a chair swinging from the ceiling. Note: the above will definitely NOT be in the next release but it's on the plan for how physics should work when finished. Well, unless I get a super tailwind and everything works smoothly... maybe ropes will get in. But I still have to write the rendering side of ropes so I sort of doubt it.

it will be fun to make rope bridge too! Title: Re: Rope System Post by: caesar on August 10, 2011, 03:24:42 AM and hang griefers :D
Cool ideas Paul! Cant wait to see where Mythruna goes :) Title: Re: Rope System Post by: pspeed on August 10, 2011, 03:29:18 AM Note: it is possible the rope bridges would explode. :) And I'm only partially joking.
When many things are chained together it can send the physics engine into fits. I have some strategies for reducing it but it may always be a little scary to create long chains of things. We'll see. Title: Re: Rope System Post by: scorch on August 10, 2011, 03:32:19 AM Great. For now, as we don't die when we fall from really high, I'm not verry worried, but I gues i won't be always like that. ;D
Also Paul already said he would create something to replace the super-hero-like-climbing-mode that exists now, when we press space near a wall. I guess ropes are a great replacement. :D Title: Re: Rope System Post by: randomprofile on August 10, 2011, 04:26:34 PM Wait... Maybe we could possibly make Grappling hooks :D To sneak attack a fortress or something :D.
Title: Re: Rope System Post by: Ragor005 on August 11, 2011, 01:33:05 AM YES!!!! IT WAS VERY NICE!!!!
