Grappling hook mod

[Pidgeon_91]

hey im in the middle of making a pirate mod for oblivion and i need a grappling hook that the PC can use to get over to the other boat or be used to get onto rooftops in cities ect..

anywho it would need a cutom animation for being thrown and maybe a temporary portal to get from PC starting position to the hooks endin opsition, i dont know im a newbie at this

Its practically impossible, but I've taken a shortcut to do something similar. I got the model of a strait rope and used it to make a door type object. Place it against the desired wall of surface, then make the door a "teleport" type that takes you to the roof. Only problem is it doesn't work two ways, so people have to jump of the top. Alternatively, you could make a special type of arrow with a script that, when you fire the arrow into a wooden surface it checks the arrows co-ordinatates and puts you next to it. This solution won't easily be combined with a the "rope" effect.

I think it would be possible. This idea reminds me of the rope effect from the Thieves Arsenal mod. The character would stand at the base of the rope and be carried up real-time. No teleporting.

Except the whole placement of such a thing cannot be done well. Arrows with spell scripts attached still need to hit something for that script to run. Custom animations aren't easy to do, don't work well with the player, and can't cause something to spawn at a specific location. More over, the rope effect doesn't work too well when you have to plan for a much wider range of uses.

The animation thing however isn't a big deal. I wouldn't NOT download a rope arrow mod because it doesn't have custom animations.
