Chain

Unity package for simplified representation of the flexible cable chain.

Install Package

Insert package using the Unity Package Manager or directly in Packages/manifest.json.

    {
        "dependencies": {
            "com.preliy.chain": "https://github.com/Preliy/Chain.git#upm",
            "com.unity.render-pipelines.universal": "14.0.11"
        }
    }

Note

Universal Render Pipeline is used.

How to use

Add Chain.cs component to GameObject.

• Add Prefabs to the Prefabs List and define the Item Offset. The Prefabs are instantiated one after the other with the offset along the spline.
• Define the Length and Radius for the spline.
• Use Gizmos parameter to display the gizmos and see current spline
• Use Main Root reparent while starting the chain items to the main root of the scene. You can use it to gain performance for large chains.

Note

The parameterization and item instantiation happens along local Forward direction (Vector3.Forward).

The position change for chain is possible with direct manipulation with Position property or by assigning the Follow Target.
