Gravity - Best idea ever

[PeteBone]

"Soldat is a fast action gameplay with tons of blood and flesh. Soldiers fight against each other on 2D battle arenas using a deadly military arsenal. This is what multiplayer was invented for."

"It's Quake style:
A couple of guys decided to kill each other and you can be one of them."

Oh hay, i haf quote 2~! Has nothing to do with what I'm voting on but I'll just throw it in there.

If this gravitation idea was used correctly, I believe it could unlock loads of fun.

Lul, Imagine CTF:

Noob1: Lul I Got Flag!
*Noob1 Jumps and Falls face first*
Noob1: Wtf, Flag so fecking Heavy

just imagine ur on a unstable gravity map

i can't imagine myself  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

THUD!

EDIT: F12

This would be awesome, Super Mario Galaxy-esque levels FTW

Zomg Black hole stole my flag! D:

"FIRST RED FLAG SENT INTO ORBIT!"

Despite how F12 this is, it's too hard/something to create.

[O.R.I.O.N.]

F12 plz.

Custom gravity is probably something mapmakers will be having wet dreams about. Have to agree with Arbiter that it'd be a bitch to implement, but that doesn't dampen the "freakin' sweet" factor of the concept.

It depends wether the value of the gravity is stored in a variable, if so then it's uber easy, if not then it's a pain in the ass.

[chutem]

I don't think you could store it in a variable long term, unless you mean just while soldat is running? it could just be saved in the .pms and then some readfile function

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Maybe make it that you could change the power of the gravity, say, between .1-2 Gs, without changing the direction. Moon map, anyone?

[Protoman]

It shouldn't take too much coding to do this.
When i code games, gravity is just a single number that is added relativly to the players vertical speed. Just changing that one number effects gravity. It should be extremely simple to code another editable variable to this game.

[tehsnipah]

it would be nice for the jumping or hover race one, but definitely not CTF DTM TDM or INF

[Snake]

nice idea F12

[rhide]

I belive it would work to cycle thorugh all players in OnAppIdle and apply some gravity as a server side script, unless it will lag too much.. I might just experiment with this as a simpler option when I find the time for it

[BRADEN]

f11, if you change the gravity engine everything that climbers have built goes to the trashcan.

And why is that?

[ghg]

Only really if you have some retarded server owner/admin that fecks around with the gravity settings.
