Grate

Fork for a reason, show love to Kyle the OG creator

Grate is a mod for the VR game Gorilla Tag. It allows the player to summon a 3D interface into the game that toggles various fun/useful mechanics on and off. Because it is only enabled in modded lobbies, this mod is safe to use online.

Features

Grate has various modules that can be toggled on and off, including:

Movement

• Airplane - This allows the player to fly around. Spread your arms out like and airplane to activate and use your wrists to steer!

• Fly - Use the joysticks fly around
• Grappling Hooks - Grab one of the grapple guns off of your hip holster with either grip button and then press the trigger to fire
• Platforms (Left/Right) - Press the grip button on your controller to create a floating platform in the air that you can stand on. There's a toggle for each hand so that you can disable one if it clashes with another mod's inputs.
• Speed Boost - Significantly increases the player's movement speed (Speed reduced to avoid bans)
• Nail Gun - Press the trigger to summon the nail gun. Release the trigger to fire a nail into surfaces that you can grip to climb.
• Rockets - Press the grip button to spawn a rocket in each hand that boosts you around.
• Wall Run - Allows you to seamlessly transition between running on floors, walls, and ceilings! Push off to revert to normal movement.
• Zipline - Press the grip button to spawn a zipline launcher. Press and release the trigger to fire a zipline.
• Double Jump - Allows you to double jump. When midair, press A/B on your right controller to jump again.
• Climb - By pressing grip, you can grab/climb terrain, objects, etc!

Physics

• Low Gravity - Decreases the strength of gravity
• No Collide - Allows the player to fall through solid objects. Enabling this automatically enables platforms so you don't fall to your death!
• No Slip - Disables sliding on slippery surfaces, like ice.
• Potions - (Networked!) Drink potions to change your size!
• Slippery Hands - Makes everything slippery so you can ski anywhere!

Teleportation

• Checkpoint - Grip the left trigger to start summoning a holographic banana above your hand. Grip the right trigger to warp back to it.
• Pearl - Use grip to summon a teleport pearl. Throw it and you will warp to wherever it lands.
• Teleport - Make a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers and peer through it to initiate a teleport. Use your head to aim more finely.
• Portals - Equips you with an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, which allows you to place portals by pressing grip to spawn the device in your hand, then A/B to place portals.

Multiplayer

• Boxing - Better known as "punch mod", this allows the player to be punched around by others in the lobby. You can't be punched while touching the ground.
• Fireflies - Press [Trigger] to summon a firefly for each player in the lobby. Release [Trigger] to send them flying to their player.
• Piggyback - Allows you to ride other players! To mount someone, have them give a thumbs-up, and then grip nearby them. If they give you a thumbs down at any point, you'll stop riding them. Consent is important!
• Telekinesis - If another player points at you with their grip button pressed, they can pick you up and throw you from afar.
• ESP - Similar to Fireflies, allowing you to see players through walls.

Miscellaneous

• Join Grate Code - Allows you to join a private lobby with other Grate users. (This module was changed, formerly being 'Join Bark Code', but it was changed for Grate.)
• Settings - At the top of the Grate menu on any page, allows you to change settings for most modules.

These modules can be useful for exploring the game world, experimenting with gameplay mechanics, or just having fun with friends. They are not meant to be used to harass others, which can result in a ban from the game.

Usage

When you join a modded lobby, simply beat on your chest like a gorilla in an alternating fashion with both hands 4 times (LRLR or RLRL). This will summon the interface in front of you. To hide the interface, simply grab it and throw it away.

Installation

To install Grate, simply download the .dll from releases and put it in your Gorilla Tag plugins folder.

Important notes

While Grate is designed to be safe to use in modded lobbies, it is important to note that using mods in any form in public lobbies or non-modded privates can result in a ban from the game. Use Grate at your own risk and only in modded lobbies.
