A Series of noob questions part 2 - walking speed and jumpin

[behind_you]

hey im back! today i'm wondering about jumping height and walking speed. the quake dude jumps too high and runs like a car. i wanna slow him down and lower the total jump height a bit. how can i do that?[/code]

[DusterdooSmock]

Walking speed can be altered through these commands:
cl_forwardspeed - Sets the forward speed
cl_backspeed - Sets the backward speed
cl_sidespeed - Sets the side speed
sv_maxspeed - Limits all of the speeds

And, as for the jumping, correct me if i'm wrong, but i think you would alter the gravity level...

[Lardarse]

Jump velocity is specified in the QuakeC (player.qc, PlayerPreThink() I believe).

[Ghost_Fang]

In client.qc, "void() PlayerJump =", near the bottom of that function
self.velocity_z = self.velocity_z + 270;
change that for your height

You could also alter the gravity of all the objects in game by going:

Code: Select all

localcmd ("sv_gravity 200\n");

or an individual entity:

Code: Select all

stuffcmd (self, "sv_gravity 200\n");

i think he was looking for a permanent player height jump change

[Baker]

client.qc --- see PlayerJump

// player jumping sound
sound (self, CHAN_BODY, "player/plyrjmp8.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
self.velocity_z = self.velocity_z + 270;

Adjust 270 to a lower value ... I imagine. I'm not Mr. QuakeC.

[Ghost_Fang]

Yea, your right baker, lower number = smaller jumps.

[offtopic] Baker, you know all this coding knowledge about engine and stuff, but you haven't spent much time in QuakeC? Whats up with that? [/offtopic]

To get any level of competence with engine coding, you have to put in a ton of hours modifying the code and getting the picture of how everything works.

The same is true for QuakeC and I just haven't spent that kind of hands on time with QuakeC.

Thanks for the advice. It does take time to learn things

wow it worked! thanks everyone!
