Title: Low gravity, how do I do it?
Post by: Plague Bringer on March 29, 2007, 10:36:35 pm

Okay, I've seen plenty of maps with gravity that's set different for different parts of the map, I'd like to know how to do this.

There's a grav trigger? wow...I really need to look before I ask. what's the Key? +gravity?

no, its a trigger, or a target, one of the 2.

Its something like trigger_grav or target_grav.

the real question is, why are there no maps on any servers utilizing this???

acrobatic matches anyone?

I mean, how do I set the gravity, there's more then just creating the trigger brush. (Yes, it is a trigger)

OH!

so they key would be trigger_grav and the value would be...400 (or whatever)?

That, is a trigger my friend.

I know what a trigger is, but how do I set the gravity. I have my trigger_gravity brush, unfortunately that brush isn't going to read my mind and make the nearest brush (correct me if I'm wrong about what brush(s) the trigger affects, or if I need to give them a target) have the gravity that I want it to.

trigger_gravity
key:gravity
value: numerical, 800 is standard gravity, 0 is weightless, 400 would be half gravity 1200 would be 150% gravity etc.

Gravity applies only to player entities which have (part of) their bounding box inside the trigger. If another trigger targets this trigger it toggles it on and off.

Use with care, negative gravity is broken atm.

That's what I was looking for! Thanks survivor. :S Tried negative gravity it in some servers, yeah, it's broken allright. What would negative gravity be anyway?

Here's a random cool idea...

Being able to change the direction of gravity, not just up/down (+/-).  Imagine mapping a space craft with centrifugal artificial gravity.

on the map high rise, in the "secret" room above the human base, the entire center piece has low gravity (800 or something like that)

800's the default value for gravity.  :wink:
