Features:

Runtime Cutting,
Physics simulations,
Component based (so can be added to actors as a child component),
Skeletal and Static Mesh attachment,
Built in C++ for optimal performance,
Use any static mesh to customise rope (should have an appropriate shape and tile seamlessly in the x-axis),
Particles emitted and sound played on cut,
Simple project integration (supplied as a plugin),
Blueprint functions enable expansive customisation,
Minimal impact on resources (the code has been consolidated and refactored),
Spawn at runtime,
Grow and shrink rope at runtime.
Non cutting and static rope variants.

Important:

This product is performance intensive,
Please back up your work and test this product, ensuring that it meets your standards before incorporating it into projects.
This product can be used to make more complex systems such as puzzles, traps and rope swings - these more complex systems lie outside the scope of this products listing. Promotional videos and tutorial content pertaining to expanded capabilities are solely intended to showcase the plugins versatility.
I will provide support within the scope of the Rope Cutting components stated functionality. I am willing to assist with attempts to extend functionality but such additional support is offered on a discretionary basis.
