Seriously, you keep a check at my posts?

No, I just happened to see it. It said: Posts: 500

This is a really good idea, I support it.

I thought i could figure something out by looking at the rope tool's code but that just shows the rope constraint stuff, so that didn't do much.
I myself am beginning to doubt this is even possible as ropes are constraints only...

[Colonel Thirty Two]

What about the wires coming out of the Fast Zombie/Dog/Wired entities? Those aren't constraints.

[Rybec]

No, they're an engine feature. You can define ropes in a model when you go to compile it.
What does the Wire tool use? Are those just ropes?
Could always just make it position a rope entity.....

EDIT: I mean the cable entities, which are separate from the actual rope constraint

I think wire tool uses elastics, with no power at all.

As noone have seen my posts abotu duneds render lib, I checked out which function it was myself.

am(1,"cable/rope",entity()os(),entity()os()+vec(0,0,100),1,0,100,vec(255,255,255),255,1)
This creates what looked like a rope, going down 100 units from the e2.

drawQuad(2,"cable/rope",entity()os(),vec(1,0,0),1,100,vec(255,255,255),255,ang(),1 )
This made something similar, but it seems to be 2 dimensional.

I looked into this but with my limited knowledge of lua I had no idea where to start. The render.StartBeam and similar functions are most likely what you need, and I'm pretty sure thats what the wire tool uses as well.

I say it again.

[Divran]

I tried, and failed.

Okay, I'll have a look at this. Can't be that hard.

I say it again.
