Ledge grab improvement

Post by Tescha Farra »

Would it be possible to add something to the ledge grab feature? I'd like it if I had to work to pull myself up on a ledge, just like working in a saber lock. I pull myself up so easily, it looks unrealistic. If this is impossible, I'll keep on roleplaying it. =P

*heh* this was discussed a while ago. something about holding jump to physically grab the ledge.. I think it was agree'd upon though that it would be better/easier to simply hold on longer and RP it out via text and :: actions ::

correct me if i'm wrong though. The above RP and :: actions :: is my personal opinion on the matter though.

I agree though I admit, this is the most imaginative and/or doable approach to ledge grab that's been posted yet.
I think in order to keep things simple, Role Playing specific ledge grab events would be better.

I mean, I don't need to RP EVERY ledge grab I perform but for the ones that count (i.e losing grip or lack of strength to pull self up) I would type my entry while hanging.
I have all the time in the world to fire out a nice descriptive line that way rather than having to quickly fire out an RP action before game mechanics force me to drop.

I was looking through the rp mod commands, and I found some useful things in rpclientconfig. I see that you can turn the ledge grab on or off. What if we could do this as a third option? 0 = ledge grab off, 1 = ledge grab (auto pull-up), 2 = ledge grab (manual pull-up).

This was talked about before in the past yes, and I think the bottom line is that everyone is different and not the same. Tescha would have a problem climbing up yes but someone like Rash for example ,well climbing up is just a cake walk.

So pretty much the idea is, put some good old RP effort into it and that should just be fine.

I think this is a perfect solution
