[Release] Grappling Hook script

[fn_Quiksilver 1633]

Hi lads,

 

Created a little "proof of concept" grappling hook script a few weeks ago using vanilla assets, thought I'd share.

 

/*
	Dumb little grappling hook mod
	
	by Quiksilver
	
	How to use:
	
		- HOLD left mouse button to use grappling hook
		- RELEASE left mouse button to release grappling hook
