For the next edition, would it be possible to code a Pusher ent, like in BF? I like them both, but it would be cool to put one in Sauer, especially if you can tilt it. Intant man cannon, anyone?

Wow, 1x4=4.

#1: you can already do that.

1. make a jumppad. /newent jumppad 50
2. change the values. press period and use arrow keys to select values.
3. it should look like this...
jumppad 50 44 0 0 0 OR 50 -44 0 0 0

fiddle around with the numbers to make diffrent directions.(44 is a normal slant direction.)



8x7? oh 56 lol

That's not quite the same. The Pusher seems more gentle, like a gravlift, while the jumppad is a sudden shot in one direction.

You do relize that Sauerbraten is a fast actioned fragging game and thus something slowish or even meduim speed does not quite fit into the game, right?

I do. But, a pusher could make sense in that it makes it easier to shoot people when going up, and it could be used kind of like an elevator in MP.

many people have brought that up, but three things you have to think about.
1. maybe an elevator will be placed in, and thus this idea is pointless.
2.its a fast actioned game, and if you are able to shoot people like that then surly they'll be able to shoot back.
3. lots people have already talked about a elevator in MP, so bringing it up is pointless...

next time please review the threads before posting one that brings up something that we have already talked about...

I was just using an elevator as one use. Also, a Pusher could make a map much more difficult, as you go slower in some parts, therefore you are more susceptible to getting shot. Also, you could make Pushers go to more valuable equipment, such as the Quad and Yellow Armor, so it would be a risk/reward thing.

again, its a fast actioned game, what part of that are you not getting?

9 x 8-72

I understand that, but as I said, it could be a risk/reward thing. You move slowly in a fast-paced game, buy you gey something like the Quad after.

I added a pusher ent in Cube Legends some years ago.

<quote from="tentus_ on 11/30/2007 06:56">

I did some digging in the CL source, and found the code that made the pusher ent work, in entities.cpp, right after the jumppad. Here's what we had (bear in mind, this was the Cube 1 engine, and last edited in December of 2005):

case PUSHER:
{
static int lastpush = 0;
if(lastmillis-lastpush<100) break;
lastpush = lastmillis;
vec v = { (int)(char)ents[n].attr3/20.0f, (int)(char)ents[n].attr2/20.0f, ents[n].attr1/20.0f };
if(v.x<0 && player1->vel.x>v.x || v.x>0 && player1->vel.x<v.x) player1->vel.x=(player1->vel.x+v.x);
if(v.y<0 && player1->vel.y>v.y || v.y>0 && player1->vel.y<v.y) player1->vel.y=(player1->vel.y+v.y);
if(v.z<0 && player1->vel.z>v.z || v.z>0 && player1->vel.z<v.z) player1->vel.z=(player1->vel.z+v.z);
break;
};

This was the 5th result in my search, btw.

perhaps the following might work better...

case PUSHER:
{
vec v = vec(e.attr3, e.attr2, e.attr1);
v.mul(10.0f * curtime / 1000.0f);
d->vel.add(v);
break;
}

and I just made that up on the spot, so no guarantees on not having to change anything to get things working

and this completely ignores adding the appropraite items in the various arrays and enums with entities.cpp and game.h

and as it has been said a few times; we're not here to hold your hand :P

BF pusher entities are basically jumppads with a slight variation; they apply forces conditionally, and can do so with adjustable (and optionally power ramp though) radius. This is what makes them feel "softer".

Wow... I'll need to take a look at that after school... I'm going to try to get the code working, but when it comes to modding, I kind of fail at anything beyond making red blue and blue red, so I'll check the Docs.
