Grapple Hook mechanic problem with PMO object

[BartekB]

I'm having trouble with a "grapple" like mechanic, where the player locks onto a hook and does a worms-like rope swing (Though he can't use left / right to swing), however if the player stays on the rope for too long he would slowly start to fall, like the hook is being lowered. I double-checked if I had gravity still on, but it wasn't and I'm not sure what is causing this anymore.

I would be grateful if someone fixed this issue!

How to test:
Run app, move scrollwheel down so a grapple hook shows up in the top left corner, arrow keys to move and jump, hold left click when your cursor is near a small circle to grapple. You'll see the fall when the player swinged 2 or 3 times.

Don't know if this could be considered a satisfactory solution,
this is more of a workaround... sorry I didn't check so in-depth,
but, in short, you could add this condition:

Y pos of player > Y grappler cursor + 100 (or suitable value)
+ hookchosen of grapple cursor <> 0
----> sub 1 from Y of player

to keep it always at a maximum fixed distance from the selected grapple..

hmm, I'll try this, thanks for the input!

I have fixed the issue!
I've fixed it by making an active, and placing it where the player should be (Always fixed by sin and cos values) and making the player move towards it by changing the x and y velocity values to depending on the distance between the player and the active.
