Now you want to bounce?

===========================

Jump Pads ~ Quake III style



===========================

Create your landing zone..



Create the trigger.

Texture it with Trigger. Filter settings: Usage > Tools

Right click your brush, Trigger > Multiple

Press the N key twice.

Enter the following Values:

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: jump

===========================

The Origins

===========================

Rightclick, script > origin

Place it where you want to jump from.



Make sure it's 4 units off the ground. (effect purposes)

Give it the following Values:

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: glow

Copy and Paste the origin 4 times.

Place them like below:



Start adding Values to each origin, starting from the closest to the ..

.. parent origin, moving to the furthest.

Pasted Origin #1

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: air1

Key: target<br />
<br />
Value: air2

Pasted Origin #2

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: air2

Key: target<br />
<br />
Value: air3

Pasted Origin #3

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: air3

Key: target<br />
<br />
Value: air4

Pasted Origin #4

Key: targetname<br />
<br />
Value: air4

The origins with the values of, for example air1, represent the flight path.

The more you add, the smoother the flight is.

Note:

Keep note of the height difference between the jumpad and the landing.

The .GSC

Copy the following into your .GSC file:

	//maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_hill");<br />

	maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("beacon_glow", (glow.origin), 3, (glow.origin) + (0, 0, 90));<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
	while (1)
	{
	jumpx waittill ("trigger",user);
		if (user istouching(jumpx))
		{<br />
<br />
		//throw = user.origin + (100, 100, 0);
		air = spawn ("script_model",(0,0,0));<br />
<br />
		air.origin = user.origin;
		air.angles = user.angles;
		user linkto (air);
		time = 1;
            air moveto (air1.origin, 1);
		wait 1;
            air moveto (air2.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air3.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air4.origin, 1);<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
		//air moveto (throw, time, 0.5,0.5);
		//air moveto (throw, time, 0.5,0.5);
		wait 1;
		user unlink();
		wait 1;
		}
	}
}

Added more:

=================================================================

Changing 'flight speed' ~ speed that you travel to the land zone, and each origin.

=================================================================

Look at this line:

            air moveto (air1.origin, 1);

In order to change the speed, just change the following number:

air moveto (air1.origin, 1);

Play around with the speed, for example it could end up like:

            air moveto (air1.origin, 2);

or

            air moveto (air1.origin, .5);

maybe even

            air moveto (air1.origin, .1);

Just be sensible.




=================================================================

Changing 'air time' ~ a pause whilst waiting to travel to the next origin.

=================================================================

Take a look at your .GSC file:

main()


{
	//maps\mp\mp_hill_fx::main();
	maps\mp\_load::main();

	//maps\mp\_compass::setupMiniMap("compass_map_mp_hill");

	//VisionSetNaked( "mp_hill" );
	//ambientPlay("ambient_hill");

	game["allies"] = "sas";
	game["axis"] = "russian";
	game["attackers"] = "axis";
	game["defenders"] = "allies";
	game["allies_soldiertype"] = "woodland";
	game["axis_soldiertype"] = "woodland";

	setdvar( "r_specularcolorscale", "1" );

	thread jumper();

}

jumper()
{
jumpx = getent ("jump","targetname");
glow = getent ("glow","targetname");
air1 = getent ("air1","targetname");
air2 = getent ("air2","targetname");
air3 = getent ("air3","targetname");
air4 = getent ("air4","targetname");


	level._effect[ "beacon_glow" ] = loadfx( "misc/ui_pickup_available" );
	maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("beacon_glow", (glow.origin), 3, (glow.origin) + (0, 0, 90));


	while (1)
	{
	jumpx waittill ("trigger",user);
		if (user istouching(jumpx))
		{

		air = spawn ("script_model",(0,0,0));

		air.origin = user.origin;
		air.angles = user.angles;
		user linkto (air);
		time = 1;
            air moveto (air1.origin, 1);
		wait 1;
            air moveto (air2.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air3.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air4.origin, 1);

		wait 1;
		user unlink();
		wait 1;
		}
	}
}

Go to the part with the following:

            air moveto (air1.origin, 1);
		wait 1;
            air moveto (air2.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air3.origin, 1);
		wait .5;
            air moveto (air4.origin, 1);

After each movement, e.g "air moveto (air1.origin, 1);"..

.. there is a wait time.

You can see I speed the last two transitions up,

To make it more realistic.. play around with the speeds.

NOTE:

If you make them too short a wait.. you can completely skip one transition,

therefore glitching your pad. So make sure you leave enough time for the player to move..

.. to the next origin, but low enough so there isn't a hang in the air.

This depends on the distance of your origins.

So below:

air moveto (air1.origin, 1);
		wait 1;

You could change to:

air moveto (air1.origin, 1);
		wait .3;

To make a shorter timeout in the air.

thx for tutorial

i think movegravity would be better (smoother)

and getentarray for script_origins + 2 for-loops would allow variable amounts of them OR first script_origin "targetname=air", link it to second, second to third, etc. and obtain next connected script_origin via for-loop

question: does punkbuster kick for this? Looks like cheating if flying through the air. But if it's serverside, pb should allow it.

No sevenz it won't kick you.

And these origins are better.

Bump ~ admin I need you to edit it.

You submitted my tutorial,

but made a complete ass of the script.

i have followed every step and at running map i get script command error, undefined i not an object.
how can i solve this.

Post the EXACT error (with line number etc.) and post your script please.
