I could, but do you want it automatic or you press something to tighten it?

Definitely press something, having some spring in it would be awesome.

I think pressing should be most suitable.

Edit: ninja. [again by duh]

Update. Now you can tighten/loosen both ropes in double shot mode by holding crouch + left/right. The screen also won't go wierd when using the grappling gun across map seams, and the user won't shake when using double-shot mode.

Odd, using crouch + left or right seems a bit too sensitive for me, I used it as a test in Astro but ended up with my Darkstorm trooper's face half way through a wall, is there any way of ajusting the sensetivity?

In "TF Grappling Gun.rte/Scripts/Double Shot/GrapplingGunDoubleShot.lua" there's a set of variables that you can edit.

Code:
------------------------------
----- Variables you can edit

   self.maxlinelength = 500; -- maximum length of grappling gun rope
   self.taptime = 200; -- maximum amount of time between tapping for claw to return
   self.tapamount = 3; -- how many times to tap to bring back rope

   self.mouseclimbinterval = 4; -- how many pixels the rope retracts/extends at a time for mouse users
   self.keyboardclimbinterval = 1; -- how many pixels the rope retracts/extends at a time for keyboard users

-----
------------------------------


The last 2 variables control how many pixels you "climb" in one frame ("self.mouseclimbinterval" for mouse users, "self.keyboardclimbinterval" for keyboard users). The lower the number, the lower the sensitivity. You can't go lower than 1, I think.

Thanks, wouldn't that affect both normal climb and tightening? Just my problem is with dual rope tightening, I'll do a few checks to make sure it isn't a problem with how I used it and try that script first though.
Its a shame you can't use Lua to make CC display a list of alterable values in the options menu, then people using modded setings can do so without finding their way through a Lua script.

You could probably make a mission that has a graphical menu to change the settings which are then saved to a .txt file. Actually you could probably make an orderable object that did that. It'd be fiddly either way though.

Can it grapple actors and devices?

Even if not, it's damn awesome, especially with the double shot thing and length/tightness adjustment.

Post Re: TF Grappling Gun *Update (5-18-10) Smoother Swinging + Guide
Update! Swinging with the grappling gun is much smoother, and I added a swing guide, which allows you to see where you're swinging (for standard mode only).

Image

To disable the swing guide, open up "TF Grappling Gun.rte/Scripts/Standard/GrapplingGunStandard.lua"
You should see a box-like thing that is titled "Settings." Change the second-to-last setting to disable or enable the swing guide.

I remember when this was the Spelunker, and it only had normal mode. My, how this has grown (over the past month? You are fast), and now we have this amazing device. This is so wonderful, thank you very much!
