Need a GrappleHook that doesn't let go till button hit again, and a Cloaking Device

I need a Grappling Hook for my Mod
Perferably without a Normal Rail Det as the Grapple
How it should work:
Hit Button Once (no need to hold) and Grapple goes to where u aimed.
You are pulled to it and it keeps you there until you Hit the button again, then you are dropped.
It should go Rather fast so it doesnt take a long time to get there, but not super fast.

Also need:
A Cloaking Device cog for my mod that lasts 20 seconds.
Can Either only be used every 5 - 10 min, or only 1ce per life, when you die it resets.
Completely Invisible for 20 seconds, no sound if possible.

Also Need:

Toggle Saber
A Saber that can switch from Single and Double
Has a unique attack motion (not the original motion)
Changes Stances per Light Saber or Double

Thanks for your Help

Im good at making mods, but not making the cogs for em... lol

Edward? I'm Emon.

This guy is basically asking us to do the entire backbone of his mod. You as a friend might help him out, but good luck finding people who are really going to work hard for you.

Galactic Civil War has good ones, but I haven't been able to seperate the grapple hook (or the really cool jetpack, either) from the main files (due to the author making traps and cross-references so morons like me do't screw with their games)

It also has the double saber (called a lightstaff), with the choice of one or two lit. Plus, the attacks are completely different (like the 2nd fire isn't a one hit kill like the original was), the stances are awesome (the lightsabers hurt if you point them at people and don't swing but they touch the tip), and, best of all, you can light zero, one, or two sabers for as long as you want. The grapple hook is exactly what you described (EXACTLY) and it looks like three gray triangles sticking out of the sides of an object, slightly pointed forward, with a spike on the back. Note: The string is almost impossible to see, though

New saber sounds (thirty-something of them), grapple sounds (3), and lots more.

Great, I'm basically ADVERTISING the thing!!! (did I mention one of the double saber's moves is a backspin slasp, and it has a dodge move too?)

Well if you want to know how to make it, that's a different thing.

Emon, shut up and go the F away! You are a menace in these here cog forums sometimes. Othertimes your just annoying.

For the cloaking device, look at the fore_pursuasion.cog, see what makes it tick. For the dual saber, take a look into a tut at Melinnium, that tells you how to make a lightstaff.

(you should ask the author of KWP before useing that code, unless it says otherwise in teh KWP readme..

but you can allways use it as a "base" to right your cog in.
