Hello. I have a command suggestion for you, with some code I have put together.
Basically, a player would shoot a grapple out, and if it makes contact with a player it will drag them back to the position the grapple was sent out. This would be cool for strategic play... i.e. a player could place a TNT block / some sort of weapon where they are and then grapple a player to their location.
As you have weapon upgrades, you could give the grapple a specific length. So maybe a length of 30 within the grapple line to begin with, which could upgrade to 40-50; as an idea. If the grapple doesn't find a player after its length is reached, or it hits a solid black, it will return back to the player like normal - just without a player attached to the end!
If you want to look at the actual command, I'll put it in my own software so you can come along to a server and take a look. You can pm me for a URL as I don't want to advertise. Its a pretty weird idea I know, please criticise and reject it by any means xD
So here is some code, feel free to use/modify it in any shape or form.
