Grapple Hook/Rope Swing...?

David Wakelin

Hi,

I'm looking to implement grapple-hook or a ring swing in my current project and wondered if anyone knew of any tutorials etc?

I've searched everywhere (even on subscribed training websites) and found little to nothing.

Cheers

i'm thinking it would work in a similar fashion to the hookshot in the zelda series?

if so, i'd do something like this:

Raycast from player position to target
Store raycast hit in a Vector3
transform.translate from current position towards Vector3 * speed

What you need to do is:

Raycast to hook point.
Using that transform/vector3 as your center
Use that radius to do an arch from point A to B on the circle you created to define the arch.
start your motion along the arch from A to B.

As silly as it sounds.... I've followed many tutorials and understand what I'm doing; I also understand what Lamont is stating I need to write up in code... its just writing the code I have trouble with

I'm a 3D artist at heart :P
