MetalCables
Chase your enemies like never before!
IntroductionChase your enemies like never before!
This ability grants metalbender a huge mobility boost. The ability mainly focuses on using cables to move from place to place, but it also has a grab and attack function.
Description
MetalCables allows a metalbender to extend metal cables from their arms, granting great mobility and a small attack function. The cables can be used to pull yourself to certain places, pull entities towards you, and damage entities. Each sub ability has a left and right version, one for both hands. All functions activate on click.
Grapple: Launch a cable that will travel forward. Once it has hit something, you'll hear a metal sound. Then hold sneak to pull yourself towards the hit point. Releasing sneak near the hit point will cause the cable to disappear.
Grapple both: This function will launch both grapple cables at once. Sneaking on this ability will pull you towards the middle point of both cables, or to a single one if only a single one is shot and has hit something.
Grapple clear: This function will make all shot grapple cables dissapear.
Grab: This function will shoot out a cable that will wrap around the first entity in it's path (Not the user). Sneak to pull the entity towards yourself. Note that the tangled entity can resist. A firejetting target will be harder to pull in than a walking one. The tangled entity can only use basic bending moves while tangled.
Slam: This function will shoot out a cable that will damage the first entity it hits (Not the user).
Exit: This function will put the user out of the multiability. Once this is done, the cooldown is applied.
There is also an easter egg. Here is a hint:

What is swinging?
Swinging allows the user to follow a slightly different path than the cable's while using grapple, to allow swinging across vertical surfaces, launching over certain obstacles, etc. This 'slightly different path' is the player's own direction.
Cool, how does the config options for it work?
The config option defines the maximum angle between the cable and the player's direction, for which swinging is allowed. For example, if the maximum angle is set to 15 degrees, the first scenario will allow swinging and thus will move the player into their own direction, but the second scenario will move the player along the cable.
Scenario 1:
The angle is less than 15, so swinging is allowed.
Scenario 2:
The angle is greater than 15, so swinging is not allowed.
It sounds cool but... I don't think it's something for me. How do I disable it?
To disable it, simply put the maximum angle at 0.
