faction help

[spaceboy]

Check out this vid someone posted at the eidos forums.  It shows a faction jeep just hanging out by a statue, the player takes their help in taking down the statue then driving off.  Watch too how the passenger faction member hangs out the jeep shooting the govmen.  This video is really cool to watch how non-mission things can play out.

What a great idea!  However, I have a question - I've tried hooking one moving car to another and the wire always snaps like a rubber band.  The same thing happens when I suspend a guy from the wall - he stays suspended for approximately 2-3 seconds and then you hear a snapping noise as the wire breaks.  Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

the grapples don't last forever.  the hanging govman seems about right 2-3 seconds.  the car grapple works better I think if the cars are not going at high rates of speed in opposite directions. (would be cool, but I think too much stress on the grapple)  Try attaching said car to a stationary object.  I actually havent tried much of this really.

Thanks for the info - I saw a video where two trucks were tumbling down a mountain grappled together, and it lasted for such a long time I thought my 2-3 seconds were a bit short in duration.

I'm glad to know it isn't just me  ;D
