Slide-Jets?

[Bushido]

is it possible to make a type of jet that specifically keeps you low to the ground and doesn't add enough upward momentum for you to be at a height that could be considered 'jetting' at all, but allows you to slide over terrain and move faster?

if so, can someone put that together for me?

check out the sports players, you might be able to make a modification of something like that

Out of curiosity, is this for a robot or anything that just "skates" along the ground, but has jets that appear to stabilize it?

[Bushido]

yes.

it's basically for an AT.

Well, you can "cheat" in a number of ways.  You could move the model up and mount emotes to the robot.  This can even allow for stuff like side jets and stuff when the robot is strafing.  The problems are that there are only 4 mounts that can be used at once, including the weapon (unless you model the weapon into the playertype) and that you can shoot the area under the robot where the collision box keeps it floating.  If you can modify that area with something like the critical hit script, you should be good.

Edit:  Aww, I liked the old rhino.

oh no i'm not actually changing the playermodel

just that's the way it moves

I'm going to hop on steam in a bit.  I'm not really sure what you mean.  Could you explain it in more detail there?

Pull the code from the auto-jet client mod, so that it auto hovers you just above your current height.

Air gear?

pray tell how this would work on a server

whoever does this would need to raycast the ground beneath you (including bricks) and figure out how high you are and modify jet fuel accordingly
