When climbing a mountain online, when using the rescue claw to rescue a teammate, the hook will often be empty or crooked, or the other party will slip and fall next to him after finally hooking up - which is very annoying.

So I made this mod to make the rescue claw better to use and safer:

• When pressing and holding the auto-aim button, as long as the teammate is in the auto-aim circle, the target with the closest crosshair will be locked and the hook will be 100% accurate (the distance will still be within the range of the original rescue claw)
• After being hooked, when a teammate is dragged near you, they can be automatically carried on your back, reducing accidents of falling off the cliff just after being rescued.
• Only carry the person hit by the hook this time, and will not carry other people next to you by mistake

In co-op climbs, Rescue Claw saves often miss, lock the wrong angle, or succeed — then the teammate slips again the moment they arrive. Frustrating.

This mod makes the claw easier and safer:

• Hold the aim-lock key: if a teammate is inside the FOV ring, lock the one nearest the crosshair and always hit (range stays vanilla Rescue Claw)
• After a successful hook, when that scout gets close, auto-piggyback them so they are less likely to fall again
• Only carries the scout you just hooked — never a random bystander
