Tutorial: Quake World Style Jumping

[Team Xlink]

Hello.

Credit for this tutorial goes to Electro.

Step One.

Open up Client.qc

Create a float client.qc at the top
Call it:

Code: Select all

.float jump_remember;

This will be for when people are in the air and press jump.

While people are in the air, and press jump, we set it to TRUE. Then when they land, if they're on the ground and have this flag set to TRUE, then we make it execute the jump.

So next up is to make it set to TRUE if you press jump while in the air.


Find Player Jump in Client.qc and scroll down until you find this:

Code: Select all

if (!(self.flags & FL_ONGROUND))
        return;


Change it to be this:

Code: Select all

if (!(self.flags & FL_ONGROUND))
{
        self.jump_remember = TRUE;
        return;
}


Below, where it does:

Code: Select all

self.button2 = 0;

Add this right after it:

Code: Select all

self.jump_remember = FALSE;

Still in Player Jump.

Add this:

Code: Select all

      self.velocity = v_forward + (self.velocity * 1.05);//small push when jumping
      self.velocity = v_right   + (self.velocity * 1.05);//small push when jumping

Now, we want to make it so it jumps if they have jump_remember TRUE, or button2 pressed.

In PlayerPreThink find this:

Code: Select all

if (self.button2)

Change it to:

Code: Select all

if ( (self.button2) || (self.jump_remember) )

That is all there is too it.

in PlayerJump i've used this near the end..

Code: Select all

      self.velocity = v_forward + (self.velocity * 1.05);//small push when jumping
      self.velocity = v_right   + (self.velocity * 1.05);//small push when jumping


seems to work well for me...

Oh wait, jump, press jump again in netquake and hold will make u jump when u land... i thought u meant mimicing QW strafe jumping for netQuake

Yeah, that is the goal of this tutorial, it seems that I forgot the part that increases your velocity, so I added that part now, thank you r00k.
