Using Zipline Devices

With the Zipline device, you can create ziplines as long as you need, with whatever curves, twists and turns you want! You can create the exact route you want, and give your players a unique and fun way to traverse the environment on your island.

Zipline devices are similar to Grind Rail and Grind Vine devices in that when you place a zipline, it has two parts, a cable and two Control Points. The Control Points determine the length of the zipline and its shape. A minimum of two Control Points is required — if you remove all but one Control Point, it will remove the entire zipline.

The zipline and the Control Points have separate Customization panels and separate options. Make sure you have the Control Point selected, and not the rail. If you accidentally click the rail, it will move the whole thing instead of just moving the Control Point on the rail.

Use the phone tool Copy function on one of the original two Control Points to add a new Control Point to the zipline. You can use the Cut function to move a Control Point to a different position on the zipline or to change the zipline's length. To safely remove one or more Control Points, use the phone tool Select function first, then delete.
