what about two types of grappling hooks? and im now just talking about the Hook shot that just zips you to where ever you fire and slams you into walls and the ninja rope that looks like a big white block glued to your hand. im talkin' about a grappling hook like the one from The Legend Of Zelda: And the Wind Walker.
a grappling hook that works like both something you can use to climb mountains, swing on buildings and swing on bricks and get accross gaps with. and the style of it would be that it looks like it's a cool metal claw attached to a long yellow rope. and how to use it you say? i was thinking of this.
first step, hold down the fire button to get ready to throw/fire it, aim in the direction you want to throw/fire it in, and release! then you will grapple on, and you can use the direction keys to turn in different directions, move up and down the rope, and swing in any direction you want. to un-grapple, choose it in the inventory again, then press the fire button again to un-grapple!
i don't know yet if it should be throw-able or fire-able yet. you guys decide that. it would also be cool if in the future it could have rope physics.
and you can fire other weapons while grabbing on somehow! and you can also grapple onto players and do damage to them, or grapple onto vehicles. imagine it. when the boat add-on is finished, you can grapple onto the boat, put on some skis, and go water skiing!
so, is it a good idea?
EDIT: also, it can grapple onto anything.
