This plugin is a lightweight framework for complex rope simulations and destruction. Confusing processes are hidden from the blueprint graph, while useful functions / variables are exposed for easy access.

Features:
- Runtime Cutting,
- Physics simulations,
- Component based (so can be added to actors as a child component),
- Skeletal and Static Mesh attachment,
- Built in C++ for optimal performance,
- Use any static mesh to customise rope (should have an appropriate shape and tile seamlessly in the x-axis),
- Particles emitted and sound played on cut,
- Simple project integration (supplied as a plugin),
- Blueprint functions enable expansive customisation,
- Minimal impact on resources (the code has been consolidated and refactored),
- Spawn at runtime,
- Grow and shrink rope at runtime.
- Non cutting and static rope variants.

Important:
- This product is performance intensive,
- Please back up your work and test this product, ensuring that it meets your standards before incorporating it into projects.
- This product can be used to make more complex systems such as puzzles, traps and rope swings - these more complex systems lie outside the scope of this product's listing. Promotional videos and tutorial content pertaining to expanded capabilities are solely intended to showcase the plugin's versatility.
- I will provide support within the scope of the Rope Cutting components stated functionality. I am willing to assist with attempts to extend functionality but such additional support is offered on a discretionary basis.
