The code traces a line from the hook to the player and draws in a cable. Some day we may look at a way to cut this. Maybe when we try to do a bendable version..then maybe we can figure a way to cut it...

There is a fix now to avoid the grapple in Duel games.

Ive seen the ninja rope code and i dont think it has a real cable either. I think it creates a new 'node' at where the virtual rope collides with another actor and then it joins the 'nodes' together to form a realistic looking rope that bends.

Hmm... You sure you can kick the hook? Might have to try that.

Make sure you're talking about the Chaos grapple and not the ninja rope one.

Theres a difference between being able to kick something and having it do anything.

As of right now.. i dont think there is a way to destroy/interupt another persons grapple besides jumping in front of it and blocking it with your body.

Hah , Silly Coders and FX guys!!! Us BT's have known about Grapple Kickage since PR3 when it was first included as an undocumented feature

It should still be there unless a coder has Deliberately removed it Very Recently.
