 Explanation: In a roping sense, the term angle is used to refer to the angle of the line that the rope forms between a worm and the rope's central pivot point. It is also used to refer to what angle the worm shoots the rope at. A vertical axis, that connects the 0 and +/-180 degree points, divides an angle from being positive or negative. If you are moving to the right, the left side of the line is negative and the right side is positive. If you are moving to the left, the left side of the line is positive and the right side is negative. If your worm is stationary on the ground, he will always shoot the rope at a positive angle. If the worm was at a positive angle upon release of the rope, he will re-shoot the rope at a positive angle. If the worm was at a negative angle upon release of the rope, he will re-shoot the rope at a negative angle. Something important to understand about angles is that the rope has a maximum angle limitation for re-attachment. The rope can only be reshot at an angle of -45 to 45 (clockwise) degrees. If you release the rope at an angle between 0 to 135 (clockwise) degrees, it will reshoot at 45 degrees. If you release the rope at an angle between 0 to -135 (counter clockwise) degrees, it will reshoot at -45 degrees. If you release the rope at an angle of -135 to 135 (counter clockwise) degrees, it will reshoot at the same degree flipped upon the horizontal axis. For example: If you release at -160 degree angle, the rope will reshoot at a -20 degree angle. Recovery Angle: It is possible to use the rope after deactivation of the parachute or jepack. In such cases, the rope will shoot at the same angle that the cursor had at it's last setting. It's always a good idea to memorize this angle so that you will be able to make a safe and speedy recovery when required to. Rope Burn: If the blast radius of an explosion hits an attached rope, it will automatically detach it. If you shoot the rope again after this happens, it will shoot at the same angle it had when you made the original attachment for the detached swing. Back to index |
