Better Grappling Hook Aiming Reticle

Description
Makes the grappling hooks use a portal-themed aiming reticle when dual wielded that displays which of the 2 grapples is currently anchored.
They will use the standard aiming reticle when single wielded (or when the other item isn't a grappling hook).

Includes built-in support for a lot of existing modded grappling hooks.

And yes, you can equip 2 different types of grapples and the reticle will still function properly (assuming that both of them are properly patched to use the script).


Modding:
This mod can be patched into other modded grappling hooks (that aren't already supported) by adding the following patch to the item's .activeitem file:
[ { "op" : "add", "path" : "/scripts/-", "value" : "/items/active/grapplinghooks/antr_portalHUD.lua" } ]
Note that it has to use the standard grappling hook code (or atleast uses self.anchored to store whether it's anchored to something) otherwise the script won't be able to detect it's state.

Also, for anyone wondering, this also works with dual wielding climbing ropes. Which is nice.

Yes, I patched the script into them.

Would this be naturally compatible with weighted grappling hooks by Argle Bargle? And the flashlight version?
