tbh I want to use it as a grapple not as a killing device, and I've never been able to rip someones arm of that's attached to a rope (otherwise tug o war would be deadly stuff) however you could still put in if force > 500 (or whatever) then rip ♥♥♥♥ off end

Crashing. Crashing. Crashing.

you can still hang off stuff with it. dropships are heavy as hell.

Boy are you going to be disappointed =P. Just try not to hit them with the grapple from 200+ pixels away (cord snaps at 300). Otherwise, both you and the other are going to bonk heads.

It wouldn't work right with dropships. Although the force on them is small, it updates way too quickly for the thrusters to counter act it. So I stuck an if statement in there so no force is exerted on dropships or rockets.

Here's the code I wrote. Whether Roon adds it to the mod officially is up to him. It does get a little ridiculous if you grapple an enemy from too far away.

The more naturally feeling force is for a completely different project (Which has also been dubbed 'impossible').
Aveneski, are you shooting it at the seam of the map? Currently the chord does strange things when at the map seam, try shooting somewhere else.

there should be buttons for retracting and extending the rope ala Worms.

Same here. A significant proportion of the time the hook merely dissappears whether impact was achieved or not. I'm definitely not firing over the map's seam either...

Try shooting terrain that's more than 40 pixels away, if it doesn't work, check the console, there might be an error with the hook.
Edit: Try shooting a dropship.

Well, there is a error. It can't find a parent, unless im standing right next to whatever im attempting to grapple too, and sometimes that doesn't even work.

Attached a picture with console and everything.

I've had that happen to me a few times. Dunno what's causing it.

Avenski and Mr.Numbers, try redownloading, if that doesn't work, download the attached file and extract to Grapple.rte (Have it replace Hook.lua). This might fix it, if not fire the gun, open the console and look for "PRINT:Found"

Hello!

Roons, I've worked a bit on your mod, and have brought what I think are some improvements:

- Cleaned up, optimized, commented and indented your code
- The line is now an elastic (A bit like that bungee thing in Worms.)
- I've added the adjustable length feature everybody waited for. Press up to decrease and down to increase! And the length prints in the Console when you do that (Default: 200, Max: 400, Min: 300)
- The line pulls on BOTH sides now ( You and your target ).

I've created some bugs though:
- When grabbing an entity, the rope is displayed twice. I'm too lazy to fix this, sorry.
- When grabbing an entity, if you don't face it, the line disappears.

This is only a minor rework, according to my point of view; in no way am I stealing Kyred's work. All credit goes of course for him!

Have fun!

*drooling*

The bugs are worth the changes

It's not my mod. It's Roon's. He wrote the code and made the grappler. I just added a few bug fixes is all.

I'm not the only person on this forum who's good with Lua

Am I the only one thinking a Gmod mod of CC?
