Keyframe rope

Entity description

It is a node entity that marks a point in a rope. The first node in the rope should be a move_rope entity, followed by 1 or more keyframe_ropes.

Tip:Holding ⇧ Shift while moving a properly named keyframe_rope will create a new keyframe_rope entity that is automatically connected to the previous keyframe. Also, deleting a keyframe_rope within a connected series will update the other entities to re-connect to the next entity in the series.

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>
