Physics Rope

Black Forge Studios Presents: F.R.I.E.S Fast Rope Insertion/Extraction System
Bring helicopter insertion tactics to Arma Reforger with a full FRIES system. Pilots deploy ropes from the aircraft's while cargo passengers rappel down independently, putting boots on the ground without ever touching down.

Features:
Multi hardpoint support: Configure as many rope attachment points as your airframe has, each with its own independent rope and passenger stack
Collision depenetration: A multi-sphere body model keeps passengers from clipping through terrain
Pilot controls: Deploy and retract ropes from the pilot seat; retraction is blocked while anyone is still on the line
Ability to attach back to rope from ground
Ability to reboard helicopter

How it works
Once airborne, the pilot deploys the ropes. Cargo passengers board from their seats and descend by holding the descend input, ascending by holding ascend. The pilot can retract the ropes once all passengers have dismounted.

Setup
1.) Add FRIESHandlerComponent to your helicopter and configure the hardpoint attach points in the editor.
2.) Add FRIESPassengerComponent to any character that needs to board (Preconfigured to work for any character that inherits from BaseCharacter)
3.) Tune any attributes you would like
