Ghook broken please help

[zman9300]

Hello, so i recently downloaded the grappling hook from the workshop and when i go on my server to use it i cant go anyware.. The grappling hook like takes me 2 feet in the air but barely and i cant go on top of buildings or anything. Does it have to do with the gravity? I play on another server that uses it and its totally fine. I fly everywhere. Thanks and please help.

Read the description:

It has a cvar (grapple_distance)that defines its maximum range. The default range is -1 (unlimited). It will not latch onto anything that is out of range. This makes it useful in applications such as stranded, spacebuild, or roleplay.

Yes but the other rp server i play on has it and it works fine. Is their a way i can change the cvar and would that help?

That's what a cvar is. A variable you can change.

[zman9300]

Ok so wat would i change it to?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Change it via the server console.

[zman9300]

Wat do you mean by that?

[QUOTE=zman9300;45910171]Wat do you mean by that?[/QUOTE]

Are you using a dedicated server, or a listen server?

[zman9300]

Im using a host. Nfo servers

[c👌de_g🎷]

So use their server console tool.

[zman9300]

But wat do i do with it.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Change the cvar (grapple_distance).

[zman9300]

ok so type in console cvar(grapple_distance) 3
or something like that?
sorry im not smart at all with this stuff

[c👌de_g🎷]

grapple_distance distance

[zman9300]

ok thanks does it matter wat the distance is. Also i would do this in the console of the actual server correct or in the file?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Server console. The description says make it -1 to allow infinite range.

[zman9300]

when i type grapple_distance -1
it says invalid command

[c👌de_g🎷]

Can you post the code of the grapple hook in

 tags?

[zman9300]

wat do u mean code tags. and yes. Also wat code just the shared.lua

local distanceCvar = GetConVarNumber("grapple_distance")

Seems like the cvar is initialized in another file. Alternatively, you can just do

local distanceCvar = -1

[zman9300]

So i set it to -1 and now it doesnt even do anything.

[editline]6th September 2014[/editline]

I did -1 and it still wont do anything.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Have you tried restarting your server? The code looks fine; should work if you changed GetConVarNumber("grapple_distance") to -1.

[zman9300]

i will restart
