How to make Ropes that react to Physics in Godot (Part 1)

[@sean7221]

You are a real blessing to the Godot community, thank you so much!

[@picster]

Thanks ☺️

[@damainjoseph5445]

I remember being in awe of the rope bottomless. Nice to see a tutorial on this

[@ServerAcademy]

This is an extremely thorough and helpful lesson! Thanks and good job!

[@sculptor000]

I always wondered how you made the code for bottomless , thank you so so much for sharing the method!

[@rungeon83]

I was one of those people who asked you! I have someone in my Discord server who has done this really well also! So glad you made this tutorial, It's why I love Godot, it's about sharing and helping one another. Per usual man, I think you're gonna be the dude who makes the first huge Godot game, you already got 2 awesome titles in progress:D

[@picster]

Is it Marco? He is also on my community discord and I saw his version! He really did a good job! And thanks for the nice words!

[@rungeon83]

@@picster YES! Wow small world :) And I didn't realise you had a Discord, I'll join now :) EDIT: I was already a joined haha

[@picster]

@@rungeon83 hahaha! 😂 Marco is a good guy!

Nice one! Looking forward for part 2!

[@Polygarden]

Great Tutorial! I really like your prototypes... they are very inventive

[@picster]

Thanks! I don't try to overengineer the tutorial upfront. That may cause some mistakes to happen while I do the coding for the tutorial, but it also represents my normal work approach... Iteration until it works ✌️

[@marcosadrian65]

Thanks for share man! awesome tutorial! hope see more of these!

[@picster]

You're welcome!

[@TKB_videos]

Thank you very much. Your tutorial videos are very detailed and easy to follow at the same time.

[@TackerTacker]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@picster]

You're welcome!

Around 14:10, the rope does not connect to the beginning and end piece, and just spawns in a different position. I am unable to fix this and it causes it to be out of place. edit: I even got the zip file for the game, it even shows the strings to be crazy as well.

[@jacktherabbit2238]

I think I'm bout to STEAL

[@plopsis]

Great stuff.

[@celsladroma8048]

Thank you very much.. even it's already Godot 4.2. this thing work very well.

[@BroTeeshka]

how you get it work on 4?

[@celsladroma8048]

@@BroTeeshka I see you want to follow his tutorial.. this things is intermediate level.. It take me almost 1 month just to work this thing until I finally get this tutorial is work very well but it takes skills. you need patients and perseverance and apply some updates for godot 4.2..

[@BroTeeshka]

truly, i'v done it! just in pain with collisions

[@renecura]

Hi! Great tuts in general, but maybe in the nexts you can zoom in or make the font bigger, sometimes I watch it in my phone or in the tv while doing something else and its pretty hard to read the code. Greetings!

[@schnitzelhannes6431]

well this sounds like a you-problem to me

[@marvinmorehead210]

I found this staggeringly difficult to follow, especially when trying to work with C#. There are extremely long stretches of code copying with no explanations, little explanation of what's happening in the editor (with only occasional glimpses at the component structures,) and named variables that aren't very descriptive or readable. This would probably benefit from a git repository to make things a little easier to follow than trying to catch it on frame in a video.

[@captainaedan3475]

9:35 Why are rope_end_piece and rope_start_piece null on my end? 😅

[@mazimadu]

This needs to be on Github

[@picster]

When the second part is online, the repository is also published!

[@Chevifier]

Life completed!😍

[@picster]

😂

[@ishechinyoka3858]

hey how can i make the rope more heavy? like it doesnt move fast and weightless

[@picster]

You can play with the settings on the joints and the physics settings of the rigid bodies.

[@martinpellicer8489]

Hi, thanks for your great tutorial. Suscribed. Do you know why I am getting canvas_item_add_polyline: Condition "p_points.size() < 2" is true as an error? The rope seems to work. Also If I want to make a bigger rope, increasing the length make spawn 2 ropes, I don´t know why, I am making the shapes 10 radius and 50 width

[@kekw5005]

Hi is this code valid for the latest godot? I updated deprecated parts of the code and the rope behaved not how it was expected. After some length, it starts to stretch down too much.

[@Minoulein]

Hello, do you also make wish tutorials?

[@picster]

Depends on the wish - no NSFW 😂😂

[@Minoulein]

@@picster Why would I want that? Would it be possible to show in a detailed tutorial how we can create Webbed's player controller with the spider webs in Godot?

[@picster]

@@Minoulein hm, to be honest... That's too specific for my taste. I try to make content that helps a large user base.

[@zachprozach]

when i click the two points it shows the start and end points wont create the the rope inbetween

[@regan___]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ernielpilapil]

how do you make it spawn directly without clicking the mouse? i wanted to make this part of level design. i put the spawn_rope(start_piece.global_position, end_piece.global_position) on a _ready function but the rope are just going crazy and doestn work.

[@picster]

You can just move the global position of a physics body after it is spawned. You would need to do that in the integrate_forces function. So either you set the position before adding it to the tree or you need to adjust the code.

nice ;D
