`EndBody`	`String`	`""`	The body at the end of the rope. Game first looks for Body with name, and then for entity.
`MinTotalLength`	`Float`	`0.5`	The minimum length of the rope.
`MaxTotalLength`	`Float`	`10`	The maximum length for the rope
`AutoMove`	`Bool`	`false`	If the rope automoves.
`AutoMoveAcc`	`Float`	`5`	Acceleration of automovement.
`AutoMoveMaxSpeed`	`Float`	`3`	The maximum speed for automovement.
