Whip swing

[Atherton]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how I would enable the player to swing from hooks like in Super Castlevania IV
You will find an example of what i mean here at about 2:10

Would it be very difficult to do? I have a vague idea that I might be able to use sine & Cosine for it but I haven't look into it all that much, I'm using the PMO for normal movement.

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

The link doesn't work...

Yeah StevenL. I tried that link also, and does not work.

KCHedgehog, I think there is a couple of examples in the CT File Archives sub-forum.

I have found something from Ultimate Walrus which might provide some useful info. Though it is not a straight forward solution to your question I hope it helps...
