Gravity switching

[FTS_Proctor]

I was wondering if it would be possible to switch the gravity in different areas of the map, so that there could be an outside "space" area with a gravity of like 300 or 200, and the inside are with a gravity of 800. Or if it were possible to switch low-gravity on and off with a switch.

 

Also, i was wondering if anybody knew how i could set up a trigger so that people could be sucked out of a window when it was opened by a switch in another room. (I'm thinking I could do it with a trigger_push that's activated by some other trigger)

one map you could check out that has the sucking description for sucking out the window is LivingDeadJedi's "Carbon Freeze beta" map, located at http://www.jedioutcastmaps.com under Free For All I believe.

yeah, but that's compiled it won't be that much use. I'm pretty sure i can get the sucking power i need from a trigger_multiple pointing to a trigger_push, into a trigger_hurt to suck the people into the space area.

on the same lines...how do you make zero-gravity in multiplayer? setting worldspawn gravity to 0 works correctly in SP, but not when i devmap the map in jk2mp.

[FTS_Proctor]

setting the gravity to 0 in the worldspawn entitie does work in multiplayer, but it's a huge pain in the ass. I suggest around 100 or so, because with 0 your player just isn't coming off the ceiling. Even 1 is really really agrivating, but 0 you just don't come down.

That's the idea, I don't WANT to come down. It's zero-g. I want jump/crouch to move up and down like the no-gravity level in single player.

While were at it, does anyone know of a way to trigger a switch to turn off gravity in a mp game? Example, you're playing along having a great ole time slashing and hacking and what not, then someone flicks the switch that turns off gravity (like on a ship in space or a space station)? I'm working on a side map that I would like to have that ability. If anyone could help me with this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks,

btw, not trying to hijack this thread, it just seemed like a good place to put the question out there.

 

[FTS_Proctor]

yeah that's what i'm looking for Sunburn (or one of the things )

 

I'd like to set a certain area to lower gravity, or have a switch to toggle between different levels of gravity.

 

Hmm... Wedge, zero-g won't allow you to move around by crouching in multiplayer, it'll just send you to the cieling and keep you there.. Maybe a -1 value in the gravity key toggles something special like that could give you the movement style you want.

the most bizarre thing to me is that I get exactly what I want in SP by setting "gravity" to 0, but it's horrible in MP.
