Hello! Why are these two if statements not working?
if Rope.Length ~= 2 then
if Rope.Length ~= 30 then

script:

local hrpAttachment
local RopeAttachment
local Rope
local RopeSpawned = false
local RopeLength = 5
local RsLongerYes
local RsShorterYes
 
local function DestroyRope()
        if RopeSpawned == true then

                hrpAttachment = nil

        end
end
 
local function FindGrapplePart()
        for i, v in pairs(workspace.GrappleParts:GetChildren()) do
                if v:IsA("BasePart") then
                        if (hrp.Position - v.Position).magnitude < GrappleDistance then
                                far = (hrp.Position - v.Position)
                                GrapplePart = v
                        end
                end
        end

        end    
end)
 
CAS:BindAction("Grapple", Grapple, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)


also is there any other better way of making a grappling hook?

#2

The if statement is correct, i would say the error is in

But i am not sure, should work correctly, not sure why it didn’t

Edit: I’ve never used ropes so i may and possibly am wrong

#3

where is the error? Many people have told me its bcuz of that, but idk what the error in it is

#4 
if Rope.Length == 2 then
if Rope.Length == 30 then

or

if Rope.Length >= 2 then
if Rope.Length >= 30 then
#5

no i wanna restrict how long the rope can go

#6

Maybe try to switch Rope.Length ~= 2 with Rope.Length >= 2 and Rope.Length ~= 30 with Rope.Length <= 30.
Also if statements in RopeShorter() and RopeLonger() should switch inbetween.

#7

There are the errors in your script

#8

The code he posted probably isn’t the entire code.

#10

yea, btw i wanna restrict it so that the length of the rope cant go over 30 and cant go under 2

#11

Then if statements in RopeShorter() and RopeLonger() should switch in-between.

#12

rope doesnt extend now, yes yes yes

#13

i said yes yes yes so mesage is over 20 cahracters

#14

Did you switch the entire codeblock or just the statement part?

#15

if statements

local function RopeShorter()
	if Rope.Length >= 30 then
		Rope.Length = Rope.Length - .099		
	end	
end

local function RopeLonger()
	if Rope.Length <= 2 then
		Rope.Length = Rope.Length + .099
	end		
end
#16

wait a minute i forgot to change the numbers

#17

yep that worked im dumm, thanks a lot

#18

btw the problem has been solved, but if you were to make a grappling hook, would u use a rope constraint or is that a bad way of doing it?

#19

Answer is I don’t know, I never tried to do something like that before.

#20

mk i jsut wanted to make sure, thanks for the help and have a great day!
