GTA V like police FAST ROPING from helicopter in GTA IV! | Concept

That's something i really missed in GTA IV... And i always wanted to add it to the game, but my knowledge was limited. Now, i can actually make this happen! Definitely needs some fine-tuning but it's already pretty awesome if you ask me!

Some short technical details:
As the rope i'm using the "cj_e1_rope" model i found in the game files for TLaD (Does someone know if that rope appears somewhere in TLaD? Cuz i can't remember). Then it spawns those rope models from the current position of the helicopter, and stacks them down until they are below the ground, that's when the code knows to stop expanding the rope. So the length of the rope is not hardcoded. It's dynamic. Finally it teleports the passengers on their rope and plays the "ladder_slide" animation so it looks like they are sliding down the rope (Which despite them having their hands on the completely wrong spot, it still looks pretty convincing).

I will add all the stuff to create ropes in my coding library (ClonksCodingLib.GTAIV) so other modders can easily create their own ropes too once it's all done and cleaned up!
