Add a script command to compute a point on a rope
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Add a scripting command that for a given parameter in range [0,1] yields a point on a given rope. Example:

_pos = _rope ropePoint 0.5;
_posATL = _rope ropePointATL 0.5;

which would yield the position _pos at 50% of the rope's length, with 0 being the origin of the rope, and 1 being its endpoint.

Reasoning:
In absence of "real" fastroping (which would be preferable but probably much more work-intensive), this would allow easy fast roping scripts, as well as rapel ability and things like Grappling hooks and Zip lines.

Nice catch, thank you for pointing this out.

Up voted, more rope support as this is only the beginning of something that could be posatively game changing.

ropeSegments command returns all the segments, which you can use to follow the rope.
