So my game include someone swinging on a rope. How can I make the rope swing? One side of the rope is attached to something so I don't want that to move, and the other side is where the man holds onto the rope which need to be swinging. How can I do this?

And how can I get when the man jumps and touches it he doesn't go back down but holds onto the rope until I tell him to jump? Without having to take away the gravity full-time because later on in the game he has to jump over obstacles and land on the other side.

Thank you guys!

    Do you need gravity on ?

    Why not have a downwards acceleration on the actor that you can turn on/off.

    yes I need gravity, because my game is an obstacle course and later on he needs to jump over obstacles and land on the other side...

    Can I set it so when he is swinging on the rope it's automatically off and later switches back on automatically? otherwise I don't think it would work.

    Thanks anyways :c )

    If you have a downwards acceleration on the actor relative to the scene then it will behave just like gravity being on. But you can easily turn it on and off as you need to.

    ok, but can I set it to turn off automatically at a certain part of the game? And how can I make the rope swing?

    Sorry I quite new and I still don't know a few things.

    Thanks
