how to make basic cables and ropes.

This tutorial will tell you how to create ropes, cables, wires and such in 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Move_rope
First, press your entity creator button on the left hand side of hammer. Two little drop boxes will highlight. under objects type in: move_rope.

Step 2: Properties
Second, put it in it\'s place and line it up. hit alt+enter and check out these critical properties.

Next Keyframe
Slack
Speed
Collide with World

next keyframe: identifies the name of the next move_rope that this one is connected to (where the rope starts, here, and where it ends, there.).
Slack: the amount of slack the rope has
Speed: how fast the rope moves
Collide with World: whether or not it stops when it runs into something.

Set up these properties and move to step 3.

Step 3: end point
Finally, add another move_rope. and name it whatever you want. go back to your first move_rope and set the next keyframe property to what you named it.


Finished!!! now move your camera back and put them both into your view and you\'ll see them connect.
