parenting to a rigidbody created in script works differently than when created conventionally

I create a rope with hinge joints and parent the player to the individual segment of the rope and add velocity to transform.up on the player which makes him climb the rope perfectly fine.

I then created a script to create the rope in script and add it to the game world with specific variables. When I parent the player to those rope segments it does not work at all. It just gets him stuck and kinda moves left and right a little but. I have checked and the game objects are set up exactly the same for both the script made rope and the conventionally made rope. pictures and script below.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ropeMaker : MonoBehaviour {

	public float length = 10;
	public GameObject ropeObject;
	public GameObject[] ropeArray;
	public float initialSwing;
	//public bool hinged = true;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		for(int i = 0; i < length; i++)
		{
			//GameObject segment = (GameObject)Instantiate(ropeObject, new Vector3(0,-0.5f*i,0) + transform.position, transform.rotation);
			ropeArray _= (GameObject)Instantiate(ropeObject, new Vector3(0,-0.5f*i,0) + transform.position, transform.rotation);[25545-screen+shot+2014-04-21+at+5.00.20+pm.png*_</em></em></em></em></em>|25545]_

_ //ropeArray*.name = "Segment "+i;_
_ if (i==0){_
_ ropeArray.rigidbody2D.isKinematic = true;*_

* }else{*
_ ropeArray*.rigidbody2D.isKinematic = false;*_

* HingeJoint2D tempHinge = ropeArray[i-1].AddComponent();*
_ tempHinge.connectedBody = ropeArray*.rigidbody2D;
tempHinge.anchor = new Vector2(0,-0.25f);
tempHinge.connectedAnchor = new Vector2(0,0.25f);*_

* }*
* if (i==length-1){*
ropeArray_.rigidbody2D.velocity = transform.rightinitialSwing;
}
ropeArray.transform.parent = gameObject.transform.parent;*_

* }*
* }*
}

I figured out the problem! The parenting 2 rigidbody2ds only works if the player is created after the rope is for some reason. I suspect this is a glitch in unity.

I created a spawn player script and added it to an empty. I set the player to spawn in, in 0.1 seconds. The rope magically works. I turn off the player spawn script and the rope is as glitched as ever.

I am wondering if the instance number has anything to do with it… Is there a way to make the player seem to have been created last all the time? Perhaps by setting his instance number extremely high?
