GrappleZ
A downloadable mod
About
An advanced mini mod for Doom that gives player the grappling hook ability. I can pull myself at walls/floors/ceilings and I can pull monsters/barrels towards me too.
GrappleZ is a Doom II universal addon mod that works with any other mods.
NEW! Now upgraded on STEROIDS with 2 new super versions:
GrappleZ Reel - Continuous Pull Grappling Hook
Press the hotkey to begin a continuous pull, then press again anytime to let go. Can pull you or the enemies to you. Swing like Spiderman or Tarzan.
GrappleZ Yoink - Yank Pulse Hookshot
Works more as a pulse that yanks you or the enemy to you. Also as a bonus can be made to pull items too (disabled by default). Tap the hotkey to use it.
Common Info For Both
Both are configurable with extensive mod options, so you can make it as fast, long and powerful as you like.
⚠️ NOTE: You cannot load both GrappleZ mods at once, they conflict!
Written in ZScript, so requires GZDoom or equivalent.
Install
Download the latest release PK3 file
Use with GZDoom for Doom II. Probably will work with Doom I too, maybe even other IWADs as well, they're technically standalone universal addons.
Remember to check the mod options and set a hotkey bind in 'Customize Control'.
My method of installing mods is using gzdoom-portable.ini's autoload section:
[doom.Autoload] Path=$PROGDIR/MD/ModName.pk3 Path=$PROGDIR/MD/OtherModName.pk3
(I made a folder named 'MD' in the GZDoom install directory and put my mods into it. I opened the ini file with notepad++. Lower mods in the list are loaded last and thus have higher priority, overriding other mods above it in case of load-order conflicts.)
Have fun! This mod works with everything else, so you can combine them!

nice minimod.
Woah this is really cool! Really great work on this one since it's versatile despite being a mini mod. Would match perfectly with melee weapon mods.
I wonder if this can be modded further to do things like grab faraway items or like keycards?
yeah this is really cool indeed!
Actually yes, currently working on it, its more complicated than I thought. I'd release the item grab as a separate mini mod though since having wall/monster/item grab on the same grapple hook is actually awkward in gameplay.

A new mod to let you grab items from afar!
Oh wow, this looks amazing! And it's so seamless too! I can definitely see this being useful for puzzle based wads or even with secret items that are intentionally supposed to be unreachable.
Terrific work ReactorCore!
