I would like this in BL. Does anyone know the game Final Ninja? Something like that. Like, you could click on the ceiling, and swing around on the rope, but you could also shoot the side of a building, and scale the wall.

Dude, the Grapple Rope is just like the Hookshot

no, you swing on the grapple rope, and there is no guarantee youll reach where you shoot, its based on your speed

I know, but I would also like to be able to shorten the rope, so I can scale walls

i use the grapple rope to scale walls
its easy
just shoot almost directly above you on the wall repeatedly

What if you just combined the grapple rope with the hookshot?
You'd still click a point and you'd still swing but the distance between you and the point would slowly decrease.

Meh?

Hmmmm..... maybe make a hotkey, so that you could shorten or lengthen the rope!

The problem is that you suggested something extremely close to something that already existed as Pen illustrated. This means that it will be less likely to be made to your specifics (what DOES from the Suggestions and Requests forum?). What I did was keep it similar to each Add-On, while making it a bit more original and appealing. I like the idea of hotkeys for ascending and descending, but I doubt a notable amount of the  Blockland community would be competent or patient enough to memorize controls for a specific item, while others would see it as a waste of keys on a keyboard. I'm not even sure if you CAN "combine" the two, but I'd totally use it if whoever made it did it right...

The Hookshot and a Grappling hook are totally different, The only thing similar is the rope and that you swing.

Grapple:Swing freely like a pendulum.
Hook: Hooks on and fires you toward the point.

yes  just swing right and left to gain speed

I don't really like the grapple hook model either, hmmm.... I know! Currently I am learning  to script, so:
I will remake the model
Put in the script for the grapple rope
Then EDIT the script, and make it so you can shorten or lengthen the rope! Haha!
