Set Player Movement

[ROFLwaffle]

I suppose "set player speed" would've worked too but that didn't sound very appropriate.

Basically an event that changes the player's top speed / acceleration.
This can be achieved using player datablocks, but the options would be limited.
I'm talking more of something with a specific scale, like the set player scale event.
Set player gravity would be a nice addition as well.
Has anybody else thought of this before?

EDIT: This could be used for something like spaceship builds, where your gravity and speed lower upon exiting the ship.

I have always thought of this but I never really wanted to request it.Anyways this is a good idea.I support this!

Best way to do it is change the player's datablock (Quake player perhaps?).

[Falcondude]

The problem with this is that the top speed variable in each player type isn't changeable in the middle of a server. You'd essentially have another setDatablock.

Didn't Badspot change something in v9 to allow you to do this? I'm sure he mentioned it at one point, something like "setting datablock attributes on the player".

Actually, yes.
One time, when I set my player's datablock's jets to being the wand emitter (for fun),  I noticed it was only my jets, even though a lot of people used that datablock. Not sure if it was just a coincidence, but I do believe it's possible.

You could probably directly code those things in-game, i just thought an event would be much more simple.

(good idea Saber Ninja!)

problem:
   You set 0 gravity
   You press jet controll
   You go up to infinaty...


There has to be some way...
GOT IT!!!
   You dont set gravity low, you change into a vehicle that can turn any direction, with jet to propell!!!
Also there is a simple mod that changes the gravity between like 100 and .00001

There!

...

When You exit without one you change... get it?

[Dy mar]

um, a spaceship...

EDIT: You turn into a guy in a space suit!!!

EDIT #2: With sweet thrusters!!!

Is it possible to have an event that changes your datablock into a vehicle? (other than horse)

[LaCuckooRacha]

This would be so cooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  x infinity for whoever builds this!
I really need this for my space build!!!!!!!!!

The problem is that the horse is both a vehicle, and a datablock.
i honestly have no idea how that was done but its there. i'm sure that it could be possible to use that script to learn some things but alas...

I'm Really glad people like this idea. if i could be called any kind of scripter, then i would be getting right on this.
hopefully this will be made... but i'm not going to pester and rush Anybody.

Mabe it could be a vehicle, like a hollow space suit that you appear in. just someone come up with an event that is on player touch vehicle spawn over player and player enter vehicle, you know?
