Grapple rope without the rope

[the hacker]

This shouldn't be that hard to do, but is it possible to remove the rope part of the Grapple Rope? It triggers OnProjectileHit events and I don't want it to do that.

so, you want it to grapple and then since there is no rope you can't swing, killing its only use

I think he wants to grapple, just don't show the rope, so it's invisible.

I don't see how making the rope invisible would stop it from triggering the event

but you could probably make a way to not trigger the event while keeping the rope

the rope is cosmetic and is a projectile
of course it's not actually keeping the player from falling

I thought the rope was just an emitter? or does the grapple use a raycast to find the latching point?

The rope is a projectile spawned over and over with an emitter attached.

The rope is a projectile spawned over and over with an emitter attached.

Multiple projectiles with an emitter attached to each one, which is why the rope clipping through a brick will trigger OnProjectileHit events.

It's be much more efficient without the rope.

[Mr_Minecraft]

Wouldnt it just be called "Grapple" then?

[Peejster]

Is it really possible, though? A quick look at the code for the grappling hook reveals that it only activates once the projectile hits something.

Code: [Select]

function GrappleRopeProjectile::onCollision(%this, %obj, %col, %fade, %pos, %normal)
{
if(%col.GrappleRopeTarget || $Pref::Server::GrappleRopeAnywhere)
{
%ppos = %obj.client.player.getPosition();
%scanTarg = ContainerRayCast(vectorAdd(%ppos, "0 0 1"), %pos, $TypeMasks::StaticObjectType);
if(!%scanTarg || %scanTarg == %col)
{
            %obj.client.player.ropeLength = vectorLen(vectorSub(%obj.client.player.getPosition(), %pos));
            %obj.client.player.GrappleRopeTarget++;
            %obj.client.player.GrappleRopeCol = %col;
            %obj.client.player.GrappleRopePos = %pos;
}
}
}

That's why you use raycasts instead. Makes it much more precise anyways.

Didn't think of that.

If I were proficient with Torquescript I'd help out, but I sadly cannot.

the rope is kinda ew
especially if the server is lagging

There's another reason I want it gone.
