FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

kinda reminds me of batman

Awesome idea, but you might want to rename it "Grapple", for accuracy.

oh cool! =(0.0)=

can you also shoot it horizontally to get over canyons?

hanging bridge... but it will look weird.. better to build a bridge :-)

+V3 craft a rope with a steel ingot to make it locked

Can you bump up the reach/range of the actual hook
If you want a safe way to get down into a hole its fine but
with just a range of 2 its pretty useless as a means of getting out of a hole.

also when it attaches it looks like its floating 1 node away from the surface its attached to (kinda just in mid-air),
seems it might be better if its attached to the bottom of the node surface you are trying to hook to.

ok, i will add an upgrade tomorrow it will have 5 range and 8 hight :-)
I working on a udate for pollution mod too (1 new barrel) and error fixes

Nice mod ! I like this idea !
Don't you have any Github account ?

i tryed it 3 times but just messup -_-

I'm loving this mod! :)

There's a bug with the sling shot though. Crashes when when I hit some things but not others. Seems to be consistent on what crashes it and what doesn't. Hitting protected blocks seem to crash it consistently. Some mobs seem to crash it too. Not sure how consistently, but one produced this warning which may be helpful. I hit a zombie that was walking away after the first hit (correction - even without the second hit it crashes after the zombie starts walking away. Added more of the log from a single hit below)



I haven't looked too hard at this, but here's the output from hitting a protected block I believe. Hopefully it will have more meaning to you then it does to me.




Hope it helps.

Fixed!
It called a function from another mod that i using much sourches.
And fixed that items will disaper after 10 secunds, ther age will be changed instand of set a timer.

Now I'm getting this error when hitting some objects. Including underwater sand which is odd because sand above water doesn't crash it.

I think i got it, it was a weird misatake that i added: punsh a block that not is air (minetest.get_node(t.ob:getpos()).name~="air") ...

there was no reason to add it :-)

Nice mod. I by mistake took the grappling hook plus rope and shot it with the slingshot. I thought that was how to make the rope hang down. It would be cool if that animation could be used however when you place the grappling hook with rope, like you are throwing the hook and then the rope drops down. It would look like you are really throwing the grappling hook up a wall.

Thanks! Think you got it now. :) I'll let you know if I find anything more. Great mods! :)

Something is still wrong. Not sure what I was hitting that produced this. I was attacking a mob.

This was the deal with the mod, there is 2 other hooks that you can do it without risk to lose your tool, and its unlimeted... i tryed your idea, but it mess up a lot, and its a really big risk to lose the expensive rope (becaouse it will disappear after 10 sec if it not hit in about 2sec and will stuck in blocks).

Sometimes it's a pain when parts of the rope disappear too quickly. It might be nice to have a top and a bottom rope node that is a different color or is just darker or lighter shade. Then the rope could just stay there until you punch/ dig an end node and then the rope disappears and goes into your inventory as a hook again.

you can easly change it:
look for (at line 219): minetest.register_node("hook:rope", {
then: minetest.env:get_node_timer(pos):start(3)

change the number to something longer or remove to remove the timer

env: is depreciated. You might want to consider updating the code. You just need to remove env:
It only needs to be minetest.get_node_timer

Didn't have time to actually play with it, but from the screenshots there's really something missing at the top. Facing a wall and "throwing" (placing) the rope could add a hook on the first horizontal surface so that the rope doesn't hang in midair. If the hook is long enough and sticks out upwards at a 45 degree angle or similar, it might look convincing. The trouble is that that'd require several more nodes and textures (or a really nicely done model). Ropes fit very well into the MT world and are usually more useful than ladders because they don't require huge amounts of sticks to craft.

I have idea to fix that, like a rop that works like the mesecons,(need 1 model only)
and a throwing/place rop should be added or replace
+ a oxygen bottle that gives extra bubbles in water.

but first i need to finish the sunshinesurvive mod...

adding stuff like a carnivorous plant, toxic berries (hurts with many times after punch with it, or eating it) and quicksand (generating holeroom under and hurts)

Done

That looks very nice. Thanks! Now there's no fear to fall down again when the rope learns about gravity :-)
