Your youtube link is epic fail, can ye relink the video? I get nothing.

I have an additional suggestion for this plugin.

I'm using this plugin on my server for a few months now, and there are two things I really miss about this hook. You've done great job so far with this plugin, so I'm sure this will be doable too.

Today I was playing Half-Life 1 Oz Deathmatch, which brings back good memories from years ago. The Oz DM hook was just super. Your hook is almost the same, except for 2 things. Now here comes my requests:

- First thing, maybe you can make it so when you shoot your hook to a player, that player will receive damage (Like 10 damage or something).

- Second, The OzDM hook has a delay between firing the hook, and moving to your hooked target, so that players can't instantly move to target they have hooked to. When you fire the hook in OzDM, you actually first see the hook itself flying to your target. Maybe you can add this too (And for those that don't like it, a cvar to disable it)

This video link below is a demo video of the OzDM/XDM hook.

For now, I'll keep waiting for an update. People often call me a cheater when I'm using the hook on my server (even when my hook is available for all players). I hope these 2 additional features will shut them up


Thanks

I love your version naris, but i the +grab crashes (TF2). You mentioned you have other versions, any chance you fixed them up even more?

[Crap]

As it is, the and rope parts of this plugin work on pretty much any in-game surface in TF2. Even the skybox or sides of the map. Would it be possible to edit this so that it only worked on specific surfaces, like buildings and such, maybe key it to specific texture types or something (might require a custom map?).

[ApprenticeDreadlord]

Thanks naris ! It's the first HGR version I got to run on my Linux HL2DM server!

As Crap wrote it also works on the skybox(texture). Would be nice to filter that.
And another idea: What about length restrictions ? It would be nice to set a maximal length for hook, rope and grab, so one can't use them trough the whole map.

Edit: I checked the +grab more extensively and it also crashed sometimes my server. Strangely enough it crashes a sec or so after I let the player go.

Am I the only one who has crashing issues with +grab ?

I get crashes on certain maps and with certain other mods running (cube soccer for example), but most of the time I don't have any problems.

[ThatGuy]

Whenever I try to move a player, it crashes. Seems to crash right when I lock onto someone.

What version of SM are you running?

I'm running a 1.1 version from a few weeks ago, can't check the specific version at the moment.

Also note I'm running naris's edited version, not the original.

Like I said it works for me most of the time, but will crash under specific circumstances (only the grab for some reason, rope I have no idea since it's useless and I never bother to enable it ).

I am running 12 man hl2mp server.
Seems that disabling rope & grab has fixed all my issues.
For me this is great, all I wanted was grappling hook.

BTW - to the creator of this awesome plugin, TY so much!
