This shouldn't be too difficult; I've even thought about making this before. I would need a rope model with one end at the center of the model and the other end at 0 0 1, if anyone wants to make that for me. It should use the blank texture. I'd do it myself but I can't for the life of me figure out how to flatshade in Blender :(.

I can make it but I don't understand what you mean.

a cylinder that starts at origin and goes upwards 1(Z)

Something like this would be ideal. The entire thing is 1x1x1 units.

Here's what I came up with, I wasn't sure if you wanted both ends open ended, so I left them coverd. Face upwards (Wasn't sure again) and is in the dead center of the orgin and is = to a 1x1x1 brick.

Sorry, I didn't do a very good job of explaining myself. Thank you for the model, it has everything I was trying to explain, lol. I've used it to get a lot of the scripting done. However, there are a few things I think should be changed. First of all, it should have collision. I also noticed that the model reflects light too much. The picture below shows one side of the ropes on the left, then the opposite side of the same ropes on the right.

It would also be nice if the ropes could be transparent.

<giga-gasp>
Those are awesome, are they a brick? or a specail...thing
ALso, will they be colored :D
i was thinking about a rope mod for Blockland :P

I believe Zor is using a scaled shape(for lack of a better term; object, whatever. Like the bricks in v0002.(right number of 0s?)) instead of a brick.

Double toast, I'm still interested :D

very interesting make it so you could pull the rope back and make it fire forwards to make a blockman slingshot

also make it so you can climb on them or hold your hands up and move on it like monkey bars
