Hi @anakin_Skywalker! I’m not sure what you mean with swinging. If you mean swinging on a rope, I have no idea how to achieve this. If you mean jumping around, you can do this with raycasts. In one of my own projects I created the abiltity to jump on walls. You can do a forward raycast from the player and if this raycast detect a wall, you stop the jump and keep the position. Sounds easy, but requires the necessary knowledge and time.
i think he means like a grappling hook, but more like spidermans web shooting mechanism
hi albertos,im not really sure what you mean by raycast but more of a grappling hook, like in the game just cause.
A raycast is basically an invisible grappling hook to detect if you hit an object or not.

You can make this invisible grappling hook visible by drawing a line from the start point to end point of your raycast.
