Quote:
Imagine your worm is attached to the rope and not moving, so the rope is going vertically up from your worm; call this 0 degrees. If you re-fire the rope now it will of course go up at 0 degrees again. Now imagine the rope is going up to the left at an angle of 10 degrees from vertical. If you re-fire the rope now, the next shot will go up to the right at 10 degrees from vertical, in other words opposite. The maximum angle you can re-fire the rope at from mid-air is about 38 degrees from vertical. So if your rope is going up to the left at 38 degrees from your worm, then the next shot will go up at 38 degrees to the right. However, if your rope is at more than 38 degrees from vertical (so the rope is starting to get closer to horizontal), then when you re-fire the rope, it will only go up from your worm in the opposite direction at the maximum of 38 degrees. And if your worm is upside down so that he is higher than the point where the rope is attached, then the next rope shot will also fire in the opposite direction at the maximum of 38 degrees.
