Hi everyone, a bit of an odd request coming up.

I'm new to this whole modding scene and so far I haven't started a "real" project, I'm just messing around.

I was just wondering, is there any way to put custom gravity values for individual unit classes. Say I want a unit that glides through the air, or sticks to the ground at all times.

I'm looking for a solution that:

> does not include the "JumpHeight" parameter

> is possible to do just by modifying the .odf file of the class.

Thanks!

I don't think there's anything like this, since the "Gravity" parameter works only for ordnance.

You can't change the effects for individual units, but check this out: http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=27719

About that, does that mean that all of the units, when jumping in low-grav, won't be able to fire? Since they are in their jumping animations.

Shame it doesn't work for indvidual units

Thanks for the replies.

Yes. No way strictly around that.

What if you made a new animation set without the jumping pose? Would he just remain in his basepose when he jumps?

The game would crash without a complete human animation set.


The ability to fire has nothing to do with the animation. It's just that in the freefall state, you can not fire. Same with how in the roll state you can not fire, and how when you're in the sprinting state you can not fire. The animations of these actions are irrelevant to what state the unit is in.

QFT.

You might, however, be able to achieve the effect you want through some tricky .combo editing, but I'm not very experienced writing .combo files, so I couldn't really help you much there. :p You'd wanna talk to Mav or Rancor for that.

Yeah, I was actually talking to Rancor awhile back about combos, but he is pretty busy working on his book. That's alright, I just thought a low-grav map would be cool.
