Hook/Grab Tile

[ShinJo]

I know this has come up in previous version but has anyone been able to implement a hook grab tile that allows the player to jump from one to the next?

I can get the player to snap to the tile but jumping doesn't seem to work. I'm sure there are issues with my scripts since my asm skills are quite basic. If someone has made this work and has the scripts for 4.5.9 (arcade platformer) - or if someone is looking for extra work, I'm happy to discuss - please feel free to DM me.

This would be a huge step forward for my game.

Thanks everyone - you have all been so amazing and generous with your help and expertise!

That one should work (4.5.6 and 4.5.9 are compatibles):

[4.5.6] Grab Hook Tile Mechanic (Platformers)

I wanted to replicate the grab hook and hang mechanic as used by those two famous ducks. The purple one and the rich one. Say no more. It's not exactly the same yet but its fairly close. The only part I need to work on (apart from the grab animation for my player) is the dropping. If down is...

Hi Dale,

Thanks again!

If you read through that thread - the edited jump script was causing the game to crash. I don't think it was ever fixed.

I'd suggest to ask in the topic... Jonny might reply, he uses the grab for his game. And it's working!

I did. Johnny's great and mentioned that all he did was add what was in the forum and it worked. I know a few others are having the same jump issue - I'm guessing there's an edit in the jump tile that's causing an issue for 4.5.9
