Grappling Hook

[SFJake]

Has anybody ever made one? I did see one from LilWhiteMouse, but the link was dead at best. I could go ahead and just try and make one, but I'm sure I'd rip my hair out without examples.

You mean, in decorate? Just inherit it from the Lore Shot: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:LoreShot

Decorate or ACS, thing is, I'd probably need ACS for what I want to do. Maybe I should have just said that. My intentions is to have some form of grappling hook that transports the player that can only be used on certain surfaces.

I heard about LoreShot but it didn't seem quite reliable. Biggest problem really is its just absurdly fast.

Also, from what I remember about the LoreShot, it won't actually pull the player if they use it, it'll just pull whatever actor it hits towards the player.

I'm pretty sure Ijon Tichy made one, if memory serves.

Of which I could only find an amazing link to a -dead skulltag forum-.

Dead links are the bane of me.

Take your pick of not-dead links.

That is some complex hooking. Its interesting but not very functional. Glitches, invisible grapple and no vertical aim. Damn. I might be overreaching with this. I'll probably kill off that idea.

The first one has a visible grapple.

I will be attempting a functional hookshot soon. I wanna see how much can be done DECORATE only, and given a few things I learned about player properties, it might indeed be possible...
