ok you get the idea, not string as in a string of text this has been drivin me up the wall trying to find on the forum cause it brings up text for strings, property for rope and nothing much for cable.
anyway, have a look at this website,
http://www.flysim.com/flysim/flysim_features.htmlyou see the pictures of the fly rod im trying to create the same effect in 3dgs with the fishing line i have tried newtons hinge constraint but couldnt get it working correctly its just to clunky.
it also needs to conform to its surrounding as in if the whip hits a box it stops or if it lays on top of a box it will conform to the shape of it and also terrain.
im currently experimenting with deforming a cyclinder model but getting nowhere fast.
any recomendations ?
p.s. try out the demo of the game its prety fun and you get to see what its like to be me for a day
(if your not already an angler)
