Can you change the jump height?

[Electronic Samurai]

A quick, dumb question:

How can you change the height that the player jumps? Is it as simple as changing the player thing's mass?

For a WAD I'm designing, I'd like the player to be able to jump at least four times higher than normal - but I'd like to leave the global gravity alone.

You could in the unofficial version, I don't know if this has been added in the official release though.

It has been added for the upcoming version, but not for 2.0.98

In GZDoom you can use SetActorProperty to change the height the player can jump. Just put in your enter script:

Code: Select all

SetActorProperty( 0, APROP_JUMPZ, X.0 );  // Replace X with some number

I believe 8.0 is the default player jump height, but I'm not sure how the scale goes, so 32.0 may or may not be four times as high. In the wad I'm making I give the player 11.0, which isn't much higher than the default but still allows for some better jumps.

The default for DooM is 7.0 (56 units), for Hexen it's 8.0 (64 units) Each 1.0 is worth 8 units.

What the freak?! I asked the same question like 4 times and I never got such a simple answer! Do you guys have it out for me?

EDIT: OH MY GAWD it FREAKIN' WORKED! I don't believe it, but I just saw it with my own eyes!
