Well since the whip will most likely be a one-handed weapon/tool, it will only have a "single-click" function and maybe a "click-and-hold" function if implemented since left-click is for the left hand and right-click is for the right hand (not sure how 2-handed weapons will work). The single-click function could be to disarm enemies and attach the end of the whip to blocks to swing. For the click-and-hold function, I like Drithyl's idea: This would be perfect for the click-and-hold function where your whip becomes "active" in the sense that when swung it can hurt enemies.
But to hogtie you'd need rope... ...and for rope you'd need fibers... ...but you could use strong animal fur, or maybe cotton, or nylon, or... SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE A SUGGESTION THREAD JUST ABOUT ROPE
OKAY I WILL WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING IN CAPS IT'S KIND OF ANNOYING [edit] http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/rope.6838/ click link or risk being disappointed that there's no rope threads
I would like to choke my enemies to the death with my whip, then I would have some nice hot chocolate with my leathery whip made from the finest cow who has been flourished with great deeds and fed well with astonishing wheat made by the best farmer who has been trained as a half cyborg to destroy his evil nemesis, Haddloc, who killed his whole entire family in front of him.
I also think Castlevania is good. Ohhhh whips.... Whips are cool. No flame whips though, they remind me of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Now we don't want to talk about that abortion.
YOU FOOL, SIMON'S QUEST WAS ON NES NOT SNES OMFG!!!1111 The more you know! (Don't take fool as an insult)
Great idea, that's one of my favourite classic weapons!! I'd like to see whips in Starbound and yes, you could use them to grapple on stuff. Simon, Trevor and Richter approve of this idea, thumbs up!!
>obligatory dominatrix joke >"maybe we should have skimpy leather suits too hur hur hur" but this is actually a good idea. i like that it's a versatile *tool* rather than just a weapon.
