Constant Flight

Is it possible to give jet troopers constant flight? Like, maybe, replacing the walk animation with a jet animation?

you could make the fuel usage really slow and the recharge time really really fast like in realm of chaos
i have no idea how tho

yeah, but I want you to start out in flight. How can I replace the walk animation with a flight animation?

not a clue

Yoiu can't replace the animation, it wounldn't tun out the way you want. The best way is to do what TheRocket said. Ypu could try to make the walking level at a diffrent hieght, and add in the jet pack animation to make it look like it flying. But thats about all. I don't know how to do this.

While we're on the subject of making the fuel usage really slow: Is it possible to make it zero?

It all depends on what you want to do that for. I don't know much about modding, but I can't think of anything where you would have to have them in-flight from the moment of spawning.

@Stalin, Find this section and replace it with this:

Code: Select all

JetJump             = "5.0" //7 //The initial jump-push given when enabling the jet
JetPush             = "8.0" //The constant push given while the jet is enabled (20 is gravity)
JetAcceleration     = "30.0" //Acceleration while hovering.
JetEffect           = "rep_sfx_jetpack"
JetType             = "hover"
JetFuelRechargeRate = "0.12" //Additional fuel per second (fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelCost         = "0" //Cost per second when hovering (only used for jet-hovers)(fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelInitialCost  = "0" //initial cost when jet jumping(fuel is 0 to 1)
JetFuelMinBorder    = "0" //minimum fuel to perform a jet jump(fuel is 0 to 1)

Couldn't you remove all walking/rolling speeds forcing the units to only move when flying.

You could use Sidious' floating animations.

by changing the walk height, will you not be able to go under that level?

Zerted, I'm not sure - but the AI would most likely not fly anyways and would just be standing

Remember the speed is only a speed, and not something to block them from following their path - so why would they choose to fly?

Well, to tell you the truth, I'm working on an underwater map, Mon Calamari to be specific. I wanted to utilize the jet trooper to make it seem like they were floating, except just take away the thrust. Now that you know my intentions, can anybody think of another possible method? I was thinking of Zerted's idea for the jet trooper btw, but was wondering, can I using planning in ze to tell units when to jet?

You could use hint nodes.

Aww everybody is making a Mon Calamari map....

Gaah...why does this happen to me? I first wanted to make a Mygeeto map, but Elmo was making the exact same map. Then I thought, let me do a Mon Calamari map, and somebody's doing that as well. Back on topic, is there a way that I can configure the controls of the game? Like change what keys need to be pressed to jet jump? Oh yeah, and where can I change the walking level?

@Darth_Z13: I've gotta new Kit Fisto model, so sucks to you! jk

Go to the options menu. You can change all your settings from there.

If wanted to do it by code, why? Changing random controls would mess up everyone who downloads you map. I'm using a Wolf Claw keyoard which has a different layout than most keyboards (example: the P is right below S and next to Y).

Can I make it so that jumping while in jet mode doesn't get you out of jet mode? Oh yeah, and I know that in order to change speeds, you edit com_inf_default, but do I have to make a new side or something? How exactly do I slow the units down?
