Hi, I am trying to set up a bungie experience in my sims, Bishara Resorts estate, and am using Rope Constraint by ComradePodolsky (LSL Wiki) as the basic 'bungie' line. However I am new to scripting and am having difficulty in understanding how to create a 'puch' effect for the avatar when they launch so that they do more than just bounce up and down under the 'simulated' stretch effect of the above script.
I put the above script in both the 'harness' a prim worn by the av, and the anchor prim, where the 'bungie' is anchored. I then turn the 'harness' prim into a physical object, allowing it to 'fall' with the avatar attached of course - this leads to a rather pointless bouncing effect, but nothing really interesting for a fun experience (comical animations will be used where possible).
Then I found some human canon scripts in various places but that too leads to an initial 'launch' that switches directly to the bounce of the original script.

I guess what I am hoping for is to create a smooth bungie jump by the avatar, along a curved path, that then is jerked back by the above script and repeats in ever decreasing strength until the av is hanging from the 'bungee line'. I intend to have someone create animations for the jumps that randomly change the avatar's jump experience and reaction - some with cool smooth jumps of no fear, to crazy yahoos with shouting comments, to the avatar that is scared out of his or her mind during the jump and shows it (much like me in RL :) ).

Like my previous request for help on the cliff jump, this is for an experience in Bishara and not actually to resell. However I have no problem paying for help where reasonable and ask anyone wishing to help me with creating a nice bungie for SL to respond with advice or more please.
