Hey =]
as the topic title suggest i thought about
if there is a way to visualize the stress on an glue network like the steamers in pyro velocity.
i would like to see when an glue connection tends to break and such stuff.

I am pretty sure this can be done. I think I would be able to help you if I could only fetch the glue network visulisation geometry from DOP instead of RBD Object, just could not find the name to fetch. Anyone ?

either use a sopsolver - plugged into the 3rd input of a constraint Network Dop, for example - and use sops under the “relationship_geometry”
or object merge your dop glue network relationship geometry into a sop level - you cann access the geometry each frame with a path like: eg:
/obj/DopNetwork:Relationships/constraintnetwork/constraintnetwork/Geometry
- just drill down in the details tab inside your Dopnetwork to find its name.
Perhaps you can build your visualisation tools from the Glue attributes .
Good luck !

yeah. thx oblong… thats what i am doing actually
and i have a nice 2 Color visualization for the base and the transfered strength
but i have no idea how to build my own visualization for some Kind of ramped strength values or even changing values…
