Grappling Hooks?

Post by Eisenfaust »

In BF1 they existed and could be easily included since they had ready-to-use odfs in the Mod Tools. In BF2 they also have odf but those don't work. So I just wanted to ask if there is a way to add functional grappling hooks to the game or if not.

I don't think BF2 supports them...

No, I recall that there was some problem. Thoguh there might be some clever workaround.

A clever workaround? Make a unit shoot a 'gravity bomb'. The object would pull everything near it.

I'm pretty sure there has to be a way to get it working. Isn't the BF2 engine pretty much the same as the BF1 engine?

Well, some things changed. Like, how saber throw wasn't workable in BF1? Yeah.

Personally, I loved the grapple hook in BF1. Sooo much fun. But one downside to it was that it was essentially the wall hackers dream come true. :P

One small change in code can sometimes break things. It's very likely that it was broken during BF2 development.

Teancum's right. There is probably a work around for BF2 also. Just have to figure it out. How did the hook work in BF1? :o

They had their own class, but so many other factors play in past that. Veterans have tried for months. If anyone can do it, it would be the vet of all veterans, (he knows who he is) and he hasn't the time.

I've never looked into why it doesn't work with SWBF2, and I've never seen the SWBF1 version.
