I need advice - how to tow a car with a winch

Support Animation and Rigging
1

Hello ! I want to tow the car.
First i want to prepare and animation like this
There is a car standing and there is also winch in front of it. The cable comes out of the winch and goes to the car. Hooks up and then the winch starts pulling the car towards itself.

I managed to pu it on side. The rope pulls a given element, but i dont know how to reverse this animation. When i try to spin it in reverse, the rope flies in different directions.
The second :frowning: … more important thing is how to connect a cer with rigidcar to it?? So that it moves forward nicely and the wheels turn.

I made this from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEWu88Ymydw

This is happen when i try to connet the car by selecting rigidcar and the last element of the rope - like this:
ctrl + P + object
its not goind nicely and the wheels dont spin :frowning:

I gather that you’re trying to automate this, but it will probably be faster and easier to just animate this by hand with shape keys

this is my first animation. I actually don’t know how to do it manually :frowning:
