Could anyone tell me why this causes it to crash for me? It keeps crashing when either the user of the grappling gun or the actor it's attached to dies. Does it have to do with my using a mac? Is it just MY computer? It does that for alot of these other mods such as the hoverboards and the electric boomerang. :?

Yes. It crashes because of something called "Lua" or more commonly, Sparkle Magic.

Trebgah, it crashes for everyone, I've tried to fix it, but you just can't. Disconnect the rope when you think it gonna crash.
NaXx, that's very easy to do, I'll post something up in a few minutes.

While converting this to my multi-purpose drone, I seem to have fixed the problem. It might have been changing curdist in the parent finding thing to 80, though I'm not sure.
Edit: Actually that's probably not it. Maybe it's because my version affects the root MO?

It seems to happen when you are attached to a craft or actor. The crashing doesn't occur when devices gib or when MOSRots settle.
NaXx, put this in the update part of your code:
Code:
      if UInputMan:KeyHeld(##) and self.MaxDistAtm > 0 then
         self.MaxDistAtm = self.MaxDistAtm - 1;
      end

      if UInputMan:KeyHeld(##) and self.MaxDistAtm < 200  then
         self.MaxDistAtm = self.MaxDistAtm + 1;
      end

Replace ## with any number from 1 to 26.

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"


I'm getting the same error as Avenski and Numbers. I got the Hook.lua update and got "PRINT:Found" in console, so was this an way of finding a leak in code?

Alright, I have a comment and a crash report.

If you are grappled onto a craft when it leaves the top of the screen, the game crashes. Although, I think I might have been killed a second before it left too. That could have something to do with it, I never want back to test if it mattered if you were dead or not.

Also, it would be great the have a feature where you could change the length of the rope. And a way to pull whatever you're attached to to you. So you could latch onto a ceiling for example, and make the rope short so you stick to the ceiling rather than bouncing around constantly. And you could grab a clones gun and pull it out of his hand rather that having to fly away to pull it. EDIT: Already addressed I guess.

Ok cool, and thanks for your attention :)
Gonna check it right now!

[EDIT] Doesn't work :-(

Where exactly can I put it? I've tried to put it a bunch of different places in the code but it just ends up breaking it every time.

If you're using a fresh install of the mod (No 'patches' and whatnot) the open Grapple.rte/Hook.lua and scroll all the way to the bottom. You should see a line without any tabs, and only an 'end'. Paste it directly above that line. Also, the craft leaving crash works the same way as the gibbing one.

EDIT: Trying something else

Okay that didn't work either. This is what I have

Code:
   if (self.Grab == 2)  then
      Grapple(self.LinePow, self.Parent, self, self.MaxDistAtm);
   end
     else
           MovableMan:RemoveMO(self);  --You want this to be cleaned up ASAP!  If you try to perform actions on a non-existant object...CRASH!
     end

   if UInputMan:KeyHeld(24) then
      self.Lifetime = 1;
   end

      if UInputMan:KeyHeld(6) and self.MaxDistAtm > 0 then
         self.MaxDistAtm = self.MaxDistAtm - 1;
      end

      if UInputMan:KeyHeld(7) and self.MaxDistAtm < 200  then
         self.MaxDistAtm = self.MaxDistAtm + 1;
      end
end

Try this, (replace with all the stuff in Hook.lua) also the rope is at max length at the beginning, so you need to shorten it before you can increase length.

Didn't work :/

Now it just shoots out a hook that sticks into walls but that's it. No rope or anything, just fires a hook that sticks.

console gives me this error over and over

Code:
ERROR: luaguns.rte/Minidrone/Grappling Hook/Hook.lua:19: attempt to index local 'Origin' (a number value)

Luaguns and this mod are conflicting.

Remove luagun's .rte filename appendix.
