You probably need to place the nullmesh lower into the room?

Vivi that dosen't work. cause the rope will attach itself to the nearest ceiling, so the solution would be to lower the ceiling.

It would if the rope had been placed too high to start with...can't a rope be any length? Or place it in a lower room, if there is one?

Ropes must be placed on the ceiling and then triggered from a tile or event.

The rope is too high.... makes sure your room is no higher than 12 clicks, a rope hangs around 10 clicks, so ensure lara can reach it from a higher place or lower the ceiling at the point where the rope hangs.

Alternatively, only make rooms that are 12 clicks high and add more rooms above or below. You can add more than one rope object to the same tile to make it longer, however this is not advised and works better with the pole.

Also, ensure there are no walls or objects that lara can swing into, as this makes for an unrealistic scenerio.

'ZING' is not a word that I am familiar with, however I will make an exception to 'YOINK'.

I found a soloution to put a rope low in a high room: I put the rope in the flore of the room and make lower the ceiling but only in the tile with the rope. Then I texture the ceiling of this tile black (=invisible so it don't appears).
