I've looked far and wide and couldn't find solutions to what I'm trying to do on the web (basically a grapple hook). So the best I could come up with is this, using a marksman weapon :

- (get player's x,y,z and Z Angle coordinates)
- summon a bent vertical-ish row of (...45 to 180) very small invisible, creatures bending around the front of the player
- detect which one gets hit to know where we're looking

... not done yet ...

- send a flying, 0-collision item in that direction at a set speed
- send a faster flying, very small, invisible creature (with collision) following that item to detect where the hook collides when its coordinates start differring from the 0-collision item
- send another faster flying such creature following the item too, but player-sized, to detect if and where the player collides on the way
- move the player.

Still not laughing ? Now you can tell me about better ideas... please ?

This is redundant. Some objects will be moved when you position them so they are colliding. So you can just use setpos and then compare it with getpos.


Why do you need this when you have a human sized object anyway?
