Grappling Hook
The grappling hook in FFAmod is very similar to the grapple in
JediMod. A
few differences are present though. First, you configure a key to use
the grapple in the user interface. Look at the Controls/Movement panel
and bind a key to the Grappling Hook. To use the grappling hook, press
your key and hold it down. A yellow ball will shoot out and latch onto
the first surface it hits. Then it will draw you to that point. Once you
get there, release your key. If you release the grappling hook key
earlier, the grapple will disappear or stop pulling you (and you will
drop) depending on your timing.
Unlike JediMod, FFAmod does not overload the “use” button so the
“use” key is still available to press buttons in maps where they
have ‘em.
One other thing, when you activate the grapple, it will holster your
weapon. Heck you had to free your hands up to use it didn’t you? The
real reason for this is to prevent grappling from being used to move
during (special) attacks, while retaining its usefulness for rescuing
yourself from a fall and
for getting around quickly in some levels.
Note that the grapple remains available during duels, but it might
not be wise to turn off your saber in a duel!
