Grappling Hook by MileHighGuy

This asset is for modders to add a grappling hook weapon to their map. You cannot use it if you do not have the mod tools

To use:
Give on of your units the grappling hook weapon "rep_weap_inf_grapplinghook_weapon"

Add grapplinghook.lua to data_***/Common/scripts

Add "grapplinghook" to mission.req under the "script" section so the script gets added to the .lvl file
the mission.req is in data_***/Common/mission.req

Add ScriptCB_DoFile("grapplinghook") to the top of your map's mission LUA, so the script gets loaded

Add enableGrapplingHook("rep_bldg_inf_grapplinghook", 100) inside the ScriptInit() function in your map's LUA. Next to where the script loads the sides.
The first argument is the name of the deployed grappling hook ODF (not the weapon that dispenses it),
the second argument is grapple speed in meters/second.

Alternatively, you can use the function enableGrapplingHookFollowTrajectory("rep_bldg_inf_grapplinghook", 100)
Use this function if you decide to give the grappling hook gravity. It will make the unit follow the arc of the hook instead of straight to it.

If you can code, make an effort to look at the lua code, otherwise its plug and play.
