Detaching a Physics Driven Object from a Character

Questions & Answers
1

Hello everyone!

First time posting on here. Myself and a friend are working on a game. Basically the premise is that we have a character that has a parachute and is being blown by the wind via physics. The parachute is attached to the character, but once it hits the ground we would like to make the parachute detach from the character so that the character can move around without it being in view anymore.

Not sure if there are other solutions to something like this, but we are open to suggestions!

Thanks!

If the parachute is a separate object, then once landed just Destroy() it. Or SetActive(false) on it.

If its not a separate object, it needs to be. :slight_smile:

Well I dont know how your character is controlled but I made a game with a rigidbody character and he could drive a car. When you were near the car and pressed e then a script would set the character’s rigidbody to kinematic, position him in the driver seat, and make him a child of the car(vice versa for leaving the car).
