How it works, step by step
- 1
Raycast from camera through cursor on fire; reject hits beyond max range.
- 2
Create a RopeConstraint between character and anchor point; let physics build swing momentum.
- 3
Blend a slight pull-in force so players gain height while swinging.
- 4
Release detaches the constraint and converts momentum into a launch impulse.
- 5
Server validates anchor distance and fire rate to keep physics honest.
Concepts you'll use
- RopeConstraint physics
- Raycast targeting
- Momentum preservation
Mistakes that cost you players
- Anchoring rope ends client-only creates phantom ropes other players can't see.
- No range validation = map-wide zip exploits.
