Grapple
Grapple
Grapple is the second plugin in my line of mechanic adding plugins! Press Q while holding a tripwire hook to throw a grappling hook, and be pulled in when it makes contact! No commands, one permission, a good simple grappling hook that I couldn't seem to find elsewhere.
Warning!
Depending on how your server is configured, players may be stopped midair for speed hacking. To solve this, upgrade to the newest Craftbukkit, which seems to be more lenient in accusing players of hacking. If you use NoCheatPlus or another anti-cheat plugin, additional configuration to that plugin may be required in order to allow players to travel at higher speeds.
Permissions
grapple.use - allows use of the grappling hook, otherwise pressing Q with the hook will simply drop it.
Updates
This plugins will be maintained until it becomes impossible to do so, which probably wont happen! Content updates will be based on bugs reported in the comments, and the results of the update poll.
Mech plugins
Other plugins
- TorchThrow - Press Q to throw a torch, try it!
- Shields - Defend yourself!
- Sheath - Sheath thy weapon!
Can you please elaborate on how to enable this plugin? I've tried typing grapple.use into chat, /grapple.use as a server command, I even tried typing it into the command line. When I press Q while holding a tripwire hook, it just throws it on the ground.
@hoohoo4
it could be toggle-able witch would be kinda cool maybe but if not its fine its not really necessary thanks for updating so quick its great and for being able to take constructive criticizim because some people are very defensive of there plugins if you tell them things good luck XD
@hoohoo4
Thanks for the precisions and sorry for the suggestion, i've misunderstood the the goal of "secondaryMethod" without trying it !
@usrnam
The first bug(taking fall damage if a block is touched in flight) is the result of my method of ensuring that players don't get permanent fall damage immunity. The sneaking issue can't be solved by me, but rember, you only need to be sneaking when the hook hits, so you can release the button before you get to the edge of the block. The suggestion(grapple being similar to hookshot) is already implemented! Change "secondaryMethod" in the config file to true to use it.
Thank you for the update, damage option working now. I just notice 2 things:
1/ Maybe i'm wrong but it seems that with 'damage' set to false if i don't touch any blocks during the "flight" i do not take any fall damages That's ok. But for example, if i touch the side of a block when flying upward i'll take fall damages when landing.
Sorry i hope that's enough clear, it's not easy for me to write in english :)
2/ When i use grapple while sneaking and i aim a block at a lower level than me, i get stuck at the edge of my standing block. (Because of sneaking who prevent players from falling i suppose). That was happend to me in a jungle biome when i tried moving from tree to tree (yes like Tarzan :))
Otherwise another guy made a "Hook" plugin (HookShot). I've don't try it but in the video we show that it use of a temporary block under the player to keep him "in the air" between 2 grapple uses. Maybe it's a good idea and a solution for the comment who ask for staying hooked with the grapple.
Good work again!

This is a Java error, update to Java 7, then change your run.bat to use Java 7 by changing all of the numbers from 5 or 6 into 7s. I need to put an example in the description, expect one tonight, and check back, this plugin is lots of fun(I designed it for personal use) :D
I just get a error
16:21:28 CONSOLE: [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins/Grapple.jar' in folder 'plugins' 16:21:28 CONSOLE: me/braeden_mollot/grapple/Grapple : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 16:21:28 CONSOLE: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: me/braeden_mollot/grapple/Grapple : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
I have the latest RB.
Nice Update Thanks Alot Man!
@y1985 You need to use Java 7 to run your server. To do this, install Java 7, then replace all of the '6's in your run.bat to '7's @usrnam
I will look into this problem, and do a bugfix update tonight.
Server Error
I'm using 1.3.2-R1.0
Hi Hoohoo4
I'm trying your plugin for the first time and since i'm adding it i'll no longer take any fall damage. Either with tripwire hook in hand or not. I've also try to set the 'damage' option to true or false and restart server. Plugin loads fine.
Have you ever encounter this problem ? I can list my plugins if you want (about 30)
Anyway good plugin :)
@hoohoo4
Note that this is not strictly true: heroes ACTIVE skills require skill usage, whereas passive skills are merely event listeners with a if(!hero.hasEffect("PassiveSkillNameHere")) {return;} statement at the beginning of the listener...which can easily be done with this plugin.
Alternatively, jaturkey could simply use heroes's built in permission-skills feature to grant permission to use grappling hooks to certain classes at certain levels, which is pretty much what he wants anyways.
New update is OUT! Grapple-V3 adds lots of new functionality, delete your config.yml to see all of the new options!
@jaturkey
Turns out that Heros skills rely on commands, so unless you want your players to have to enter a command to use their grappling hooks, I would recommend perms, they aren't difficult, I could help you with examples if necessary. Working on the next release with the tp option and nofall option, will be out later tonight!
Very Nice Plugin. Nice and easy. Can you make the trip wire to go further?
@hoohoo4
Yes Please!
@jaturkey
I have never written a Heros skill, but I will see if my code is compatible. Though is sounds cool, due to the basic principals of how the plugin works, holding you in place would not be possibe, because there is no way to determine where you land. I could adf an option in the config to tp you instead of launch you.
love it but i use heroes on my sever would you be able to make it into a skill that i can give to classes ? i know i can give perms to a donor class for example but i think thats kinda silly and i think being able to toggle the fall damage would be great good job on the plugin ohh one more thing if you use the grapple can you make it if you hold q you stay there ? feel like im asking alot thanks very much good luck
@MinecraftGoldBanana
Thanks, but the fall damage DOES hurt you. If you want me to add an option to disable the damage, I can do that.
@hoohoo4
Nice Plugin Man, I Just Try It Out And its Awesome! But... Can you Fix How the Fall Damage Doesn't Hurt You! But Other Then That Awesome Good Work Man Been Looking for one Of These!!!
