Grapple and swing/pull mechanic

I have added some more and have some functionality working but it still does not behave
how I need it to.
Once again, this script is attached to an object (grappling hook) that is parented to a
character models (puppet) hand. it fire from the hand alright but still cant get the movement
of the character right after that. I think the best thing would be to have a hinge/joint that
when the player hits a grapple point, the hinge is enabled and they swing like a pendulum
under the grapple point until a button is pressed and the hinge is disabled. When I have
tried this, I cant seem to get the hinge to disconnect from the player and to attach it to a
different grapple point. Because I am using a character controller, the physics are a real
pain since adding the rigid body and gravity to the puppet causes it to go crazy.
Another idea I had was that the puppet could ping pong between 2 vector3's when on a
grapple point until a button is pressed and they jump off, but am unsure also if this can be
implemented.
