Basically, when the rope is attached to the player, things seem… fine ( I guess). But when I realease Left mouse, the player still gets stuck in mid-air and he’s not falling down on the platform.
What should I do this situation?
(the GIF is laggy, sorry about that )
Is the variable ropejoint set when you create the rope joint? Is it spelt the same way (it’s case sensitive BTW).
I’ve just “highlighted” the player to remove the joint and it works, he does fall to the ground now. Thanks a lot.
And btw, I need to ask your opinion about what I’m going to do next.
So I want to make a swinging rope that can attach to any platform where I “throw” my rope to (to where my mouse touches that specific position on screen). I’ve refered to a lot of topics in this forum that try to execute this mechanic but it is… not coming to an end. I will try to explain the logic of the rope that I’m going to approach to this mechanic:
First, I’m going to create a 'line" (ShapePainter object). When I click my left button, the line “is thrown” from the player and reach to the mouse point where I’m clicking (the line will have a specific length)
Second, I will “wrap” the platform with “grapple_ledge”.
Third, at the end of the line , I will create an object called “grapple_helper”. When the “grapple_helper” is in collision with “grapple_ledge”, they create a weld joint (where the “sticking” happens) and apply physics to my player. When I realease the mouse, the joint disappears.
That’s how I’m approaching to this mechanic but I can be totally wrong or being too complicated with this. Are there any better ways to do this thing? I really want to hear from you.
