Brief intro: I wanted to make Titan armour the uber-est armour in the game by adding Ghost, Flight, and Grapple abilities. First stop - editing DCG.ini. Added Fly and Ghost to the abilities, Grapple to the properties. Upon testing, found that Ghost worked perfectly, nice. Fly worked functionally, but visually the soldier was running in mid-air. Not ideal, but workable. Grapple, however... well, that didn't even show up, despite being listed as an ability in the Unit Loadout screen. So, back to DCG.ini, this time adding Grapple to abilities as well as properties. It shows up twice in the Unit Loadout screen, but only once on the action buttons. But hey, at least it's there. Except that, when used, it shows the animation of the soldier firing their weapon, before they magically fly up to the grapple location, fail to initiate the "climbing up" animation, and spend the rest of the mission stuck in mid air. Needless to say, this problem required further investigation, which brought me to editing UPK files. Now, I think I have located what I need to change in the file Soldier_MaleTitan_SF.upk, CHH_Lv3MedMale_ANIMSET --> Meshes --> SM_Lv3MedMale --> SkeletalMeshSocket_47. Now, my understanding tells me that, if I replace SkeletalMeshSocket_47 with the value from the Ghost armour, SkeletalMeshSocket_31, then that should enable the Titan armour to use the Grapple animation of the Ghost armour, right? Or do I have it all wrong? If so, corrections would be very welcome. The second problem is making the Titan armour appear to fly. I have found four SkeletalMeshSockets in the Archangel armour that seem to relate to a jetpack, but also a whole bunch of animations in CHH_Lv3MedMale_ANIMSET --> Anims which no doubt are necessary to the visual effect. Any ideas what to do there? I'm not entirely sure how to add an entirely new branch using only a hex editor...

I'm working on an update for my mod and I'll be adding a grappling hook arrow type. I have everything I need except a good looking grappling hook/arrow. Currently I'm just using the dragonbone arrow as a grappling hook so obviously there is no rope behind it. If someone could make me a mesh/texture for a grappling arrow I would very much appreciate it. A dragonbone arrow with a long rope on the end is basically what I'm looking for. Please respond if you can do this for me and are willing to help, thanks.

I tried to do this, but for some reason if I give this ability to the armor, only the grapple model present on the titan, the ability not present in combat at all... :\ My limited knowledge ends here sadly. Can please some one help with this? Edit: appears to me after some trie and test, grapple is not working on armors which don't have this ability normaly. The grapple is there, but no effect.

I came across the Pull Mastery Mod which adds a series of spells which can be used to grapple up to the target area, however I was wondering if it's possible to have a similar effect applied to arrows, rather than a spell. Sorry if this is simple, just my ability with Skyrim modding is almost non-existent.
