attach last instance to object

Using Yanns rope example I tried to modify it so I can replicate a effect I want.

I want to attach the last instance of the rope to be attached to the sprite on the opposite side of the layout, and fill the distance with the rope, Is this doable? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

You should probably link to that topic.

You need to look at the code which generates the rope, think about the distance() expression, and possibly divide that by the amount of rope segments you want?

sqiddster, Thanks for the reply. my bad, I though I attached my capx.

Here is my attempt: http://db.tt/vgNMVoeq

I am really struggling with this, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hmm, the rope itself seems a bit bugged to me.

It would probably be best to ask —

He's usually willing to help!

sqiddster, Thanks for the help.

I'm sure Yann is genius enough to figure this out for me <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

I updated the capx if you want more of a understanding.

Thanks.

I would help more, but I never used rotational joints before! So I doubt I could do it.

I modified an example I previously made

Is that what you are trying to achieve?

Damn I like it, with families it's so much neater.

R0J0hound, WOW! Thanks, Exactly what I wanted, I'm trying to replicate a water effect. so this would be the wave, when something hits it. Ignoring collision by applying a force of 1 :)

I encountered a problem that maybe you can help me fix. If I set the window and layouts width to 960, the code works well making the line, but the line is too heavy so it makes a large dip which won't replicate my water effect. Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks.

You could apply a upward force to the links to counteract gravity.

R0J0hound Thanks! I was wondering if you would know how to mask this line so everything below it is blue like water? <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. I saw you do something like this on your jelly physics demo, you created lines from each point or then filled it, but I do not see how this would apply to this. . any ideas?

Thanks for helping me man!
