Placing cables without using modular meshes...

acealmighty13

I've watched a couple of videos that show me how to set up bones for cables with physics assets applied in UDK but I don't want the assets to react to the player. Is there a checkbox for this? Or just set the density up real high under Physical Materials? I want the mesh to react to the raised platforms or other objects I place them. Physics and Bones is something new to me but want to figure it out for my environment.

I made a video about this. Very easy to set up actually. In a nut shell, just go to you collision setting for the cable and have it ignore the pawns.

Sweet. I'm messing with my cables now and will play with it. Does this video apply to UDK as well as UE4? I will be upgrading to UE4 soon but my portfolio map is based in UDK and so close to finishing it I can taste it.
