Issue with ropeCreate alternative syntax

[bluecewe 10]

According to the wiki, the ropeCreate command possesses alternative syntax, which allows for a rope to be created from one object.

However, when I use the alternative syntax in the following form, although a rope is created, the optional arguments appear to be ignored, and an error is thrown.

myRope = ropeCreate [helicopter, 'slingLoad0', 15, 5, true];

Error in expression <myRope = ropeCreate [helicopter, 'slingLoad0', 15>
Error position: <ropeCreate [helicopter, 'slingLoad0', 15>
Error Type Number, expected Array

Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated.

Same issue for me. When I get this error, which is always, the rope length is never the length set in the parameters, it's only around 20 feet long or so.

Seeing as that alt syntax is from 2011, it's possible its only for TKOH. When I use the auto complete example I get these:

ropeCreate [veh1, [0,0,-2], veh2, [0,0,0], 10]

or

ropeCreate [veh1, [0,0,-2], 10]

or

ropeCreate [veh1, [0,0,-2], veh2, [0,0,0], 10, [], ["ropeend", [0,0,-1]]]

If you want the rope to unwind you can always start it at zero and then use ropeUnwind

myrope = ropeCreate [vehicle player, [0,0,-2], 0];
ropeUnwind [myrope, 3, 10]

;
