rope connection to original object - mic3mic4 - 04-03-2022

Hi,
I'm trying to hang a sphere to another sphere. I'm making the lower sphere into a birth object and taking several particles (with material id) and spawn them upward to the other sphere. I make a parents/children connection and bind them to the other sphere but when I activate the timeline, the first sphere (the lower one) falls (gravity force) and the ropes don't hold it. They do stay connected to the upper sphere. what am I doing wrong?? thank you

Can you post your file?


RE: rope connection to original object - mic3mic4 - 04-03-2022

Yes! I tried again and changes the sphere to torus and it is still not working. [attachment=2101][attachment=2101]

Well, you bound the rope particles to each other, but haven't bound them to the torus. See attached.

OK. Thank you.
I thought that because they spawn from an object, than the base particles -  the parents' particles -  'belong' to the torus, and the connection is automatically there. That, as well as the bindings to their children, meant I didn't need to add another particle binding...
