Making a pendulum?
Using hinge joints, how can I make a pendulum (I want to make a bionic commando style swinging effect)? I want to have something like this, where the player is able to shoot out a hook, have it anchor to a part of the level geometry and then swing on it, while being constrained to 2D movement. The swinging does not have to be very complex.
EDIT I have expanded on my question here
Some more information would be great, especially for those who don't know "bionic commando" like me ;). Do you want to have an object that swings around an anchor point? Or do you want to create some kind of rope? Just use the hingejoint on your object and specify the anchor point. Don't forget to add a rigidbody to your object.

It is a good intro to making swinging objects (wrecking ball), but I think you can easily adapt it for your needs. Best of luck!
I created a tutorial with the Euler-Cromer method to simulate a simple pendulum. https://rdgamestudio.wordpress.com/2016/05/04/simple-pendulum-in-unity/
make a rigidbody and attach a part of it (with joints) to the axis that you want it to rotate.
Well im not sure im nooob but I think it may work :D
