## Community notes

**Waffle SS.** — 2014-10-13

The [ropes](../commands/ropes.md) command seems to return each individual sling load rope.
[ropes](../commands/ropes.md) will return an empty [Array](../topics/Array.md) if the sling load ropes are not deployed.
Ropes as of A3 1.33 have a cfgVehicles classname of "Rope".
