PhysX Bind Confusion

[nomad]

Hi,

I'm having issues with binds, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or a misunderstanding on my part.

To investigate, I created a simple test scene showing the problem: a rope hanging from a master object.

The rope is generated using a Birth Spline with a PhysX Shape and a PhysX Bind, and it animates as expected. The master object is in a separate event and has a PhysX Shape Mesh. The Bind in the rope event should connect the master object—but it doesn’t, and the rope simply falls to the ground.
However, if I delete the rope event entirely and recreate it in the same way, the Bind starts working correctly and the rope hangs from the master object.

I created a scene to show it working and not working. Hazarding a guess, it feels like the Bind event can only see events that already exist at the time it’s created. Is that correct? And if so, is there a way to refresh tyFlow so it can recognize other events without recreating them.

3ds max 2022 and Tyflow V.127

Thanks

That solved the problem and it makes seance now. It has caught me out a few times. 

Thank you.
