how to make monsters use a hook?

[MeTcHsteekle]

how would i make a monster use a hook at far distances

its gonna be based of thr grunt and the smart grunt totorial

so would i have to add a w_FireHook to wepons or somthing? this is gonning to be the first wepon ive ever done f thats the case

So, like a grappling hook to cross ledges? Or a harpoon-type weapon that shoots out to snag the player and pull him in?

In my ancient old Wazat mod I had a monster that used a harpoon to pull in the player from long distance, and a grappling hook to pull itself up to the ceiling for those friendly attack-from-above sneak attacks. So it can be done.

However, getting a monster to cross gaps with a hook takes a little more logic. He has to recognize that there's a gap blocking his way, and that his hook will successfully get him across (as opposed to being blocked by bars etc).

yes i wish for a harpoon style one to drag you in a burn u with lightning [whahahahahaha] is there any toutorial for this or do i need a spacific file for hook and monster? like in that rune quake thes a hook would i need that, somthing witha w_firehook?

i know thres a bug where they only shoot one nail at time
+its being addressed soon+

right after the grumbler and painskins and etc.

Easiest way to mae grunts shoot multiple nails is to have the firing sequence have 3 or 4 calls to the firing function. That's how I did it back when I experemented with machinegun grunts...

I wonder if anyone still has my old Wazat mod kicking around a hard drive somewhere. If so you could grab some code from my grappler monster.

thanks Lardarse it works beautifully

also the model im planaing on using is a player model, but that shouldent be a problem [i got it digging thru old qexpo's fer resources]
