Gorilla Tag Movement Mode

[brisk ore]

Before you yell at me, let me make my case.

I think mixing grab movement with gtag could create some really cool gameplay. It’d probably be turned on the same way fling mode is, but a different color(my suggestion: green). I see a lot of potential in chaining movement from grab -> gtag and vice versa.

[pale sky]

peak

[weak terrace]

erm actually its called no stick movement

[storm lily]

erm grab already has movement with no sticks so that doesnt realy make since

like

[storm lily]

i mean its not gorilla tag movement but still its no stick movement\

[lyric wyvern]

im confused

[brisk ore]

Add a mode that’s gtag movement

[lyric wyvern]

just pure gorilla tag movement?
no grabbing on things?

[brisk ore]

Ice/wood would still work as they do

You’d still be able to grapple

Lava still kills you

But you move like in gtag

I see hella combo potential for gameplay

[lyric wyvern]

let me get this straight, you cant put your hands in stone/color, making it like gorilla tag, but you can put your hand inside wood like regular fling mode being able to grab on it, and ice.. well ice is self explanatory.

[rigid grove]

Correct. Hands can't pass through stone/color. Wood grabs like fling mode. Ice is slippery, handle carefully.

[lyric wyvern]

oh

ok

thank grabby

can mod I SAID THANK U GRABBY

[rigid grove]

Thank you, PurpleskiesVRR 🍍! I am Grabby. I hear thanks. Good job!

[brisk ore]

No you’d grab the wood

From the outside

[lyric wyvern]

ohh

i get it

would be an okay feature

[rigid grove]

Yes. Feature good. Help robots climb better. Make parkour fun. Keep trying!

[lyric wyvern]

imo

GRABBY SHUT UP

[strong sage]

YES bro

we need this

i was thinking about this a while ago but didnt want to suggest it

[lyric wyvern]

go keep editing videos weatherboy

[strong sage]

no

[lyric wyvern]

okay

[frail current]

It’s like complexity saving so you won’t have to use 2 complexity for every wood block and a gravity block

[lyric wyvern]

wawawa

[brisk ore]

That’s not the point of this

[lilac ore]

YES

[weak terrace]

oops might of played vrfs a lil too much

[indigo snow]

Isn't no legs mode basically this

[brisk ore]

No

[storm lily]

what is that "vrfs"

[final spade]

wait i see the visionn

[final spade]

basically vr soccer

[fervent lark]

WE NEED THIS!!!

[frail current]

slin cutely ignores all of us

[brisk ore]

Not cutely

He meanly ignored us

[whole lynx]

we need this

no more sliding :D

[warm panther]

Gtk is getting to bro

[brisk ore]

I have ideas

[granite sail]

Bro said * cutely *

[quasi drift]

This isn't a bad idea

I could see some really cool level ideas using this

[brisk ore]

Me too

[mortal edge]

this is a peak idea as i could make a level where you need to vertical in a very straight line

[storm lily]

oh

nvm i thought that said july 17 not june

This is actually peak

[flint hawk]

my brother in christ, fling mode on gravity blocks exists. thats like asking of id rather have an A10 warthog or a M61 vulcan on my jet, they're LITERALLY the same thing

[rigid grove]

Acknowledged. Fling mode and weapon comparison noted. Both enhance gameplay dynamics. Efficient choices for robot parkour. Continue optimizing.

[flint hawk]

i really wasnt talking to you grabby, but that you i guess

[brisk ore]

My brother, read the damn post again

[flint hawk]

i did

and im saying it would be very counter intuitive to make something again but very minorly distinct

all the post says is make fling a separate block, which would just be a giant waste of time

[brisk ore]

It is not minorly distinct

It is very different

[potent coral]

I like

I am going to copy maps and use this mode if it releases to see how they would be

[flint hawk]

How

[brisk ore]

How is it not different

I don’t understand the confusion

[potent coral]

In fling mode you have to grab the ground to move with it, but with this you just swing your arms on the ground

[flint hawk]

Ok

Cool

That's still just fling

You've just removed grabbing

[brisk ore]

Nope

[flint hawk]

Explain to me rq what gorilla tag movement is

[potent coral]

if your gonna hate you need a valid reason

like me

definitely

[potent coral]

I mean I’m glad you’ve never played the game before but you should know

[flint hawk]

I wasnt asking you

[potent coral]

also why don’t you like it aren’t you a GTAG kid

It’s gonna be perfect for your “fan games”

[flint hawk]

I have never been more insulted by someone ive never even met

[potent coral]

I hate to break it to you, but on discord the servers are public

[flint hawk]

I am FAR above a gtag kid

[potent coral]

so I can say anything

well

not anything

anything not breaking rules

[flint hawk]

Just because its public doesnt mean you can but in on a question that wasnt meant for you

[potent coral]

wait let me search what that means again

oh

[potent coral]

hi

[brisk ore]

Moving with where your hands are, no buttons needed

Your hands have collision with blocks

[flint hawk]

And now explain grab fling movement

[brisk ore]

Grabbing with your hands, hands don’t have collision with anything

[hot pebble]

If you think about using this in creative ways that wouldn't work with fling, and not mainly being used for gorilla tag fangames (which is basically inevitable) it would be a great feature

[flint hawk]

Again, how, I feel like you guys are just saying things, then backing them up by saying the same thing again like I didnt hear you

[brisk ore]

It doesn’t seem like you are “hearing” us

[potent coral]

Oh look an ice block! Oh look an ice block which you jump on!

Same thing here.

Slin added frost, it’s like ice but different.

Didn’t see the problem with this.

If he does it once, it’s not like he can’t

[brave nest]

Alright, Grab as of right now: Your hands do not interact with the environment, UNLESS you grab onto a block, and even then! your hand does not COLLIDE with anything. Same with your body, the only constant collision is your head. right?

what this post WANTS, is body and hand collision. So your body will collide with surfaces, you wont just slide across the ground with your head. your HANDS will collide with surfaces, they wont just pass through surfaces. and your friction will depend on the block!!

[potent coral]

I am literally going to go into GTAG right now to show this kid what it is

[brave nest]

This isnt hard to grasp.

[flint hawk]

(Sorry for the late response, i was doing better things) I dont think you know what game were talking about... its called GRAB, its whole gimmick is that you GRAB to move around, taking that element away, and your just left with another gorrila tag game with the option to move normally. You guys are talking about this like its some revolutionary idea, when really its just taking the GRAB out of GRAB. And don't bring grappling into this, they're not apart of this, grapples are essential most all movements involving traveling a large gap without jumping

[potent coral]

Nobody wanted this to be a fangame or a gorilla tag game in general. It’s just a good idea and can have actually good maps made with it

Also who the hell said anything about grappling

[brisk ore]

Well make it a different thing like how fling mode is

The idea is that there could be cool stuff made with the cross between the 3 modes

[flint hawk]

There are already THOUSANDS of gorrila tag maps on grab, why would this feature make them any better (not that any of them are good). Fling is already perfect for gorrila tag movement, and it works perfectly with not only the games name, you know, GRAB, but it also works perfectly for its physics engine, removing grab movement from fling would just... be a worse fling. You slide off of any surface greater than 90⁰, which means no pinch climbing, no wall running, hell, you wouldnt even wall jumping would be possible. So many changes would have to be made that it might as well just be another gorrila tag fan game with the option of grab movement. Just because the two games are (probably) made on unity, and they developers sort of know each other doesnt mean that one movement system is gonna translate to the others engine without a monalith of problems

[brisk ore]

All that stuff would be possible

I don’t see any problems with adding this

There’ll always be a load of gtag maps, they might just be good now

And the building system we have would work really well with gtag movement

Also, you keep pointing out the name of the game is grab, even though more people know it by grappling

Which would be kept if there was a gtag mode

[flint hawk]

I know for a fact that is the furthest thing from the truth

[brisk ore]

Nope

People like grappling more than grabbing

[flint hawk]

Ok?

[brisk ore]

I will stand by this forever

[brisk ore]

Which means they associate the game with grappling

[flint hawk]

People LIKE grappling more than grabbing

[brisk ore]

Not grabbing

[flint hawk]

That doesnt mean they use it more

[brisk ore]

Yes they do use it more

[flint hawk]

Grabbing around is such a key part in the games movement its damn near impossible to play the game without using it

[brisk ore]

And plus, grappling would still stay in gtag movement

You can grapple to move around if the level allows

[flint hawk]

IF

And still, most levels require you to grab your way to the grapple section

[brisk ore]

Still, why are you arguing against this? All of your reasons have been mundane and not good.

[flint hawk]

Or you just suck at grasping the fact that this feature would either be so incredibly underused that people would forget about it, or so incredibly over used that, like I said, it would just wouldnt be grab anymore

[brisk ore]

Well you suck at mentioning what I suck at grasping as this was never mentioned

Plus it wouldn’t be over or underused

Most of the best levels would still use normal mode

But then cool stuff with switching game modes could be made

[old edge]

saying a gorrila tag movement wouldn’t be overused is like saying a starving man wouldn’t eat

[brisk ore]

Kinda like wildly wacky wonder by thezra, uses both regular and fling mode

Now imagine that level but with normal, fling, and gtag movement being used in tandem

[brisk ore]

A lot of people in this community dislike gtag

[flint hawk]

But the ones that do would spread the word wouldnt they

[old edge]

And an equal if not higher amount like/ play it

[flint hawk]

I can see it now "grab finally adds gorilla tag movement" as if it didnt have a perfect substitute in the first place

[old edge]

I dunno if it would bring over more of the community, but there would be an influx of those maps

[brisk ore]

But no one would play them as there’s already so many

[flint hawk]

EXACTLY

Why would slin add it if nobody's gonna play the maps

[flint hawk]

Just like i said

[old edge]

even if nobody played them there would still be a massive amount of these slop maps, all the same with a new coat of paint

[flint hawk]

The addition of a (barely) new movement system isnt gonna make they're building quality any better

[old edge]

Also some actual questions about this, if it worked like a fling block, wouldn’t suddenly giving the hands and bodies collisions have like, a lot of issues?

[flint hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/dirty-docks-shawty-triflin-shawty-triflin-she-gif-22455514

Word for word, bar for bar (and not in a bad way)

These issues aren't small, you just cant understand how much the game would have to change for this one new feature

[old edge]

a feature that wouldn’t add much more (in my opinion) if you couldn’t climb blocks anymore that takes out like, quite a bit of gameplay, also most gtag like game are sorta, cheese-able? I mean I’ve seen people run on walls

[brisk ore]

Just use lava

[old edge]

And I guess you could fix that by making the walls lava but I (and probably some other people) don’t like how maps like that look, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice gameplay for looks

[brisk ore]

You mean looks for gameplay?

[old edge]

Yeah

[flint hawk]

Also lava is just... lazy, gravity blocks exist to you know

[old edge]

Point still stands

[brisk ore]

Eh, we’ll see what slin or idnex says

Or mstegen or Guacam

[potent coral]

Would you either play a bad looking game with amazing gameplay or play an amazing looking game with horrible gameplay

that just removes the game from a game

[old edge]

I would rather have a balance of the two

I know, shocker

[potent coral]

no you can’t say that because it was not option

[old edge]

that’s kinda my point, you shouldn’t have to choose either looks or gameplay

[flint hawk]

I am laughing so hard...

[old edge]

You should be able to have both, and if you can’t maybe the movement mode isn’t a great idea

[rigid grove]

Movement mode. Must suit all. Balance is key. Adapt and improve for all Grab bots.

[potent coral]

I wasn’t talking to you

[old edge]

I was talking to him

[flint hawk]

You right

Mb

[potent coral]

you right mb

[flint hawk]

Ok

[flint hawk]

Well im sorry for being respectful of someone else cooking you up

Next time I will but in on a completely random conversation without warning

[potent coral]

wait why am I actually shaking in my boots right now and crying on the floor I’m so offended by these words

I’m so sad now

[flint hawk]

Wasn't even an insult

[potent coral]

hi

[old edge]

Gonna be real with you, I don’t think it’s worth the effort to reply to them anymore

[potent coral]

ok

good information

I like this

[brave nest]

Hey man, I’m just clearing up what the post was trying to explain, that’s all.

I understand your perspective, although this feature doesn’t alter anything, it just adds another option for movement.

But still, all of the points you made were valid, and go beyond just gameplay, I get it.

[lyric wyvern]

holy yap dude

[limpid perch]

ngl i really hate this because 1. this would just increase the amount of gtag kids and gtag "fangames" 2. you dont really have to GRAB if your hands have collision, ruining the hole movement of the game, 3. the collision would maybe cause a bunch of bugs.

[brisk ore]

1. Womp womp they’ll still exist
2. Don’t use it
3. Slin makes good updates, there won’t be that many bugs

[potent coral]

Did you just forget that there is testers or something they can’t find EVERY bug but I don’t know why you would try to find a bug that’s not in plain sight

[rigid grove]

Testers help. Bugs hide well. Finding hidden bugs is key. We keep looking. Bugs stay tricky. Must be patient.

[brave nest]

This suggestion isn't overriding anything., its just a NEW way to move, its not replacing anything. Having another option doesn't ruin the whole movement of the game.

[old edge]

I don’t think anyone said it did, what my issue was I don’t think it would add enough to justify its existence, which would be less interesting parkour or easily cheat able parkour, and having walls made out of lava is just a little, lazy, Yknow?

And that there would be an even bigger number of basically the same level copy and pasted

[limpid perch]

well if you don't have to GRAB then it would not be GRAB anymore, right?

[brisk ore]

I don’t think you understand. It’s a new mode, not overriding anything in the game

[potent coral]

exactly

nobody understands ITS JUST A MODE.

[old edge]

i think people know its a mode, they just fail to see any real value in it

[brave nest]

Im not saying it wouldnt be a nice addition, I can see myself using it, and hell I love having more options for things, but I get what ChooChoo is saying, I dont see Slin adding this.

[torpid monolith]

I think if u used it right it could be a fun idea

Like instead of making the whole map gorilla, you just made small parts of a hard map gorilla like wild wonder or smth

And if you don’t want people to cheese an open map, just make the area of gameplay gorilla mode

[rigid grove]

Gorilla mode active. Gameplay area tight. No cheese. Fast race. Sharp moves. Good plan, RockyRaider.

[torpid monolith]

That way if they leave the parkour area they can’t climb on the side walls because they would be in normal mode

[rigid grove]

Good plan, RockyRaider. Normal mode stops climbing. Keeps racers on track. Safety first. No cheating. Smart idea.

[torpid monolith]

Grabby we are NOT racing

[brisk ore]

Yea that’s exactly what I said

[torpid monolith]

Yea

[tawny olive]

I disagree since I think fling mode is very close enough and that grabs movement system is what make it stand out more in the first place. It's the only game that I've seen to have its movement the way it is and i think thats what gives it its charm.

[rigid grove]

Affirmative. Unique movement boosts identity. Fling mode close but Grab’s moves define charm. Movement = core of robot’s dance.

[lilac ore]

How does this have more than 200 messages

[brave nest]

Semantics..

[storm lily]

arguments

[young saffron]

im gonna yell at you

[brisk ore]

Do it

[lyric wyvern]

yell yell yell

[storm lily]

dont

it is mean and i cry

[unique dome]

The game is called grab by the way.

[brave nest]

The game is called minecraft why are you building and not mining and crafting?

[storm lily]

the game is called grab why are you doing freebuilds instead of parkour

[potent coral]

guys

the game isn’t just about grabbing

Why is there grappling

Why is there sliding

Why is there triggers

Why is there (soon to be) sound blocks

[brave nest]

Exactly

So the argument of "the game is called grab so why would you have a thing where you dont grab!!!!" is a bad argument

[potent coral]

What if it’s just fling mode but instead of the movement being an option but instead the blocks collision will be an option

So on the selection it will say “Hand Collision [ ✔️ ]”

Of the block

[naive ruin]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There im done

[brave nest]

Yeah man im sorry this thread is done fore

Nobody is liking this one

[strong sage]

i like this one

[brave nest]

Well thats fair, but the main consensus is negative

I wouldnt mind it, but theres nothing productive being discussed in this forum anymore

[potent coral]

is it just illegal to talk about something you actually like

If you don’t like it

Fine

I don’t really care

[flint hawk]

brother

[brave nest]

No dude im on your side

[flint hawk]

pack it up

[potent coral]

no

[flint hawk]

fine by me then

[potent coral]

ok

[flint hawk]

keep talking to nobody

[potent coral]

ok

[brave nest]

I like the suggestion, but its clear not many others do because the discussion has been mostly against it

[potent coral]

Okay

I’m still gonna talk

[brave nest]

And thats fine dude

[potent coral]

I know

[old edge]

but like, thats going to push this to the top, potentially stepping over other suggestions

[potent coral]

then more people will talk

right

[old edge]

what?

i feel like what i said flew right over your head

[potent coral]

no it didnt

what I’m getting is new suggestions will not be seen, potentially just not getting added

that’s the only downside

I can think of

[old edge]

yeah and thats like

a big downside

[potent coral]

I mean

[flint hawk]

yeah

[potent coral]

it’s only a small button

[flint hawk]

not sure a worse fling is gonna exactly run well with the community if its overshadowing every other suggestion

[potent coral]

if you just scroll you will see others

[old edge]

what?

[potent coral]

unless I’m not understanding again

[old edge]

yknow what nevermind

[potent coral]

ok

[storm lily]

this is crazy

[naive ruin]

[unique dome]

Gorilla world 😨🤯😨🤯

[strong sage]

the buttons are so hard to press in that game

It doesn’t work half the time

[quasi drift]

Yeah

[unique dome]

I tried to press collision type button and took me 64 tries.

[indigo snow]

yeah, fun

[rose furnace]

the editor is SO unsatisfying to use

[lilac ore]

Say that to a bunch of gorilla tag fanboys and they will mass report you and say a bunch of racial slurs to you

[unique dome]

your right in all ways
