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!
