Grappling Hook (box) Version 3.04

The grapple comes in 2 versions:
"REALISTIC" grapple has the animated climb in the vertical hooks, using a ball that activates the climbing animation. You spent more time, but this is more funny and realistic...
"NORMAL" grapple uses the traditional teleport system: clicking on the hook you are immediately teleported at the top.

To use the grapple simply mount it: it is just ready (no draw or sheath commands).

The grapple has 4 functions, useful to climb or go down walls or pass rivers and holes.

1 - 3 VERTICAL HOOKS (10,14,20 meters)
2 - ROPE ARROW SYSTEM (fire an arrow with rope)
3 - GO DOWN (go down from a wall using a rope)
4 - LADDER

===== MENU & CHAT COMMANDS (only channel 1)
Nothing can be communicated with public chat (channel 0).
You can give the commands or by chat, or using the grapple menu.
To display the grapple menu you can:

- write in chat "/1 grapplemenu"

1 - HOOKS
------------
Rez in front of you a vertical hook of 10, 14 or 20 meters (with climbing balls in "realistic" version), useful in order to climb walls.
Go near the wall, and type in chat (or select the Hook button from menu):
/1 hook10 - rez in front of you a vertical grapple of 10m
/1 hook14 - rez in front of you a vertical grapple of 14m
/1 hook20 - rez in front of you a vertical grapple of 20m
Left clic on the rope (or the ball in "realistic") in order to go up in top. After 30 minutes the grapple system disappears.
The grapples show at the top the name of the rezzer and the time, useful for the roleplay.
CUT OF THE ROPE.
An enemy can approach itself the rope, touch it and select "Cut". A menu appears: clicking on "Cut Hook" the rope comes cut and you fall if you are still in top to it.
GRAPPLES REZZED WITH ANGLE
Normally the grapples are rezzed vertical, but sometimes you need to rotate them on the ground to match the destination point. We introduced new commands to rez the grapples with an angle defined:
By menu the new button "Hook angle" allows to set 20°, 30°, 40°, or no angle.
By chat you can set any angle from 0° (vertical) to 45° with the command:
/1 angle XX (XX = any integer value from 0 to 45)
This set remains in memory, so if you want to restore the default vertical rotation, you need to set the angle to 0.
REALISTIC VERSION
The hook has 2 climbing balls, to climb up and climb down.
You can also move or rotate the realistic grapples. Simply move the grapple and the balls will follow it in the new position/rotation, and the animations are adapted.

Then you can aim with your cross hairs and left click to shoot the rope arrow.
