Parented Object follow just on y axis?

[JannickL]

Hey there,
i have parented an object and for sure it moves when i move the parent. But is it possible to let the parented object only move in one direction and lock the other ones?

Hope you know what i mean. Trying to build a bow for VR and the string is following my hand but the tension of the bow should just be possible in one direction and not in three.

Yes, you can use a rigidbody and its constraints
