Coding Error for restricting 3d objects to 2d behavior

Hi guys,

I created a rope in unity that works in 3d (following this thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/working-2d-rope-concept-for-sidscrolling-games-for-free.76721/ )

but the code that is supposed to restrict the rope so that it responds in the 2d environment is making unity very unhappy with me.

1. //prevents the object from moving and rotating in a way unfit for 2D
2. 
   
3. function FixedUpdate () {
4. transform.localPosition.z = 0;
5. transform.eulerAngles.x = 0;
6. transform.eulerAngles.y = 0;
7. }

Also, please note that I have absolutely no knowledge about coding, so though this might be a simple fix please explain it to me as if you were talking to a five-year-old. This is all i ask. thank you

 

The thread you linked is from 8 years ago back before Unity had added a lot of 2D functionality, and the code is in UnityScript (pseudo JavaScript), not C#. UnityScript is no longer supported in the most recent versions of Unity.

Can you give more information of what you're trying to do?

 

I was trying to make a rope and have my player climb onto it like in this video

In the description, it gave a couple of links to threads of how to do it, and I was following them but they weren't working. Thank you for telling me why. I was going mad

 

You don't need this code. Use rigidbody2d or set limit position/rotation checkboxes for rigidbody3d
