I decided I wanted to create a grappling hook. This project was actually pretty straight forward for the most part. Just a simple every frame move to location problem.
I think though what made the problem unique is that I had to change how the character moves pre-grapple. If you're grappling upwards, you need to launch the character upwards a little bit and turn off the gravity, or else the character will either slide across the ground or fall when moving towards the grapple location. You also have to shorten the capsule component a bit so that way the pawns "feet" doesn't hit the edge of a wall, resulting in you suddenly stopping at the edge.
I also messed around with changing the camera FOV and adding camera shakes to give the illusion of going at high speeds when you grapple. Overall, it was a pretty fun project.
