Hover Vehicle Properties

for a hover vehicle, How do i edit the spring body section, and what does all this mean (i know it controls the properties of what happens when the vehicle impacts something). I'm editting a speederbike, and I want to make it bounce.

Try editing the LiftDamp. I don't know, make it higher maybe.

LiftSpring and LiftDamp have no effect. I think i have to add more spring bodies but im not sure how to add them.

Check Fred's website. I remember it having a cis_hover_aat.odf all commented out for modder use.

It doesn't help, all he says is that "The following sections tweak the bounce" which I already know.

AddSpringBody seems to add a part of the vehicle that it can bounce off of, but i have no clue what the 4 values are.
I dont know what BodySpringLength is or what BodyOmegaXSpringFactor is, but i think they control the aspect of how much of a bouce it is.

I have no clue what these are:
VelocitySpring
VelocityDamp
OmegaXSpring
OmegaXDamp
OmegaZSpring
OmegaZDamp

are these some type of vector or what?

If I remember right AddSpringBody is X/Y/Z/unknown number. Fred has a commented hover ODF on his site. It doesn't document those lines too well, but you might find some help.

yes i just looked there, and it didn't help.

There is an odf somewhere(I found it once but don't remember which vehicle), that has a bunch of the spring lines in it. Maybe it was the stap, or barc. Swamp speeder has a pretty good anti-gravitational spring to it as well, though it winds me up in the kill zones past the boundary way too often.

So does no one know anything specific about these?

Well ROFL!!! I found what GravityScale Means! If you set it to 0, if you go into a Jump, you dont stop flying through the air!!!

EDIT: also, Dann. It might help us if you told us what you were trying to accomplish.

as I've already said, I'm trying to make the speederbike bounce more as if it were made of rubber. Gravity scale i know already sets how fast it falls to the ground. I thought LiftSpring and LiftDamp had somehting to do with it but changing them has no effect on the bike in game. I added more spring bodies but that didn't help. I tried editing that VelocitySpring part but that just made it rock back and forth.

I'm not sure that this is what you want, but I have a feeling.

Just a note, This makes it impossible to aim at ground troops pretty much.
