[TOOL] Rope wand

[Reactor Worker]

My idea was for a "Rope Wand" or similar device.

Basically, you hit two bricks and it spans a rope between them made from a reusable standard DTS shape.

The tool wouldn't have any effect on the 2 bricks its attached to, but would be destroyed if one of the attached bricks is destroyed.

Possible cool features:

*several styles of rope to choose from (chain, rope, laser, wooden beam, ect)
*toggle collision
*colorable or color selection
*scaling options

The "rope" wouldn't bend or sway in the wind, it would just be a static shape.

I suppose the length and angle of the DTS shape would have to be calculated from the positions of the 2 bricks.

Would be useful for...

*ships rigging
*draw bridges
*wooden slats on houses
*any kind of bridge (suspension, beam, ect)
*walkways
*spiders web
*much much more :D

Again...its not a dynamic rope/beam, just a static DTS shape derived from the distance and height difference between 2 bricks.

Custom GUI would be nice.

Tripwire, don't forget tripwire!!!

Tripwire, don't forget tripwire!!!

I guess you could do that...decollision the rope and make one of the bricks an IR sensor. The rope itself is supposed to be none dynamic other than destruction.

It would be cool if it could support hanging bricks too but that would merely be a bonus.

The basic tool alone would be great for building.

what does this have to do with jets?

This would kick ass if the ropes could be used as a zip-line.

Enough pipe-dreaming. I want to know if anybody is interested in taking the originally described project on. Seems like a very reasonable request, and a lot of builders would appreciate it. I know I would.

you dont what to build while right clicking for jets

yes, ive thought of this before. there was a lego piece that was a chain with a round 1x1 plate at each end. it could be very usefull, yes. i think it should be done. :)

and oh, reaction worker, im supposed to beat you up for using my comic for your avatar.  (haha, im just kidding. im glad you like it, but its polite to ask first. ^_^ )

Noob -.-

I would make it if I could get a model.
