Slowing the player (Movement sway)

alysiumX · Post by **alysiumX** » Fri Apr 05, 2013 10:30 am

So I want to slow the player down so I did it though setplayerproperty.

However, the movement sway doesn't change with the speed change this way. Is there any way to slow the player speed down without looking like hes walking with a pogo stick?

You may find something useful here: [wiki]Weapon_properties[/wiki]

Look for Weapon.BobRangeX, Weapon.BobRangeY, Weapon.BobSpeed and Weapon.BobStyle.

Sadly, I don't believe the viewbob of the player's camera can be affected, which I would personally like to see as a feature. Unless there's something I'm unaware of...

SetActorVelocity. Set the last argument to true, then you might get what you're looking for.

Hi, I still don't get it.
Im using SetActorProperty with A_PROP speed and a slower value than 1, like they say on the wiki. The player is slower, but the bob movement is absolutely ridiculous so the whole thing is useless.

I don't understand how the function that MeatyD suggest works. I don't understand the example.
How would you go about this? Can anyone put a example of a script that makes the player go at half full speed, like what would you get with SetActorProperty(0, APROP_Speed, 0.5); but with the fixed bob camera and weapon sway?

Is there a way to use negative velocities? For instance, if you press the button to go forward, it goes backward instead, or if you press left, it goes right?

Woah, it looks like you can.

Can anyone help with this? I need to slow down the player without having the ridiculous bob movements...

Is there really no way to get around this? I would like to open a request thread and i want to be sure that this isnt already fixeable.

If nobody has come up with a way then I'm sure there isn't any solution to your problems.

If you open a request, bear it in mind that your feature [if added] won't even make it into zandronum for a long, long time.

Yes, there is a way handle this issue. You do it by editing your .ini file. Set "movebob" to zero or a very low value. You could also make a .txt file, call it autoexec.cfg, type "movebob=0" (without the "") in it, and place it in your ZDooM/GZDooM folder.

If you want to do it right now with Zandronum, I guess you can use ConsoleCommand to alter the movebob CVar. However do note that mods altering user CVars is generally frowned upon... and I do vaguely recall Torr Samaho talking about deprecating ConsoleCommand anyway...

I want to make the player go through different speeds on the level, so fixing a cvar value will not work. I want the wad to be playable in online coop so im not sure about altering cvars on the fly.

Use new 2.7.0's feature - SetCVar function. It can change CVars, so I presume that it can change movebob CVar...

BZZZT!

Sorry, contestant number one, but the SetCVar function can only manipulate Console Variables set up by CVARINFO. See the changelog for ZDoom r4283.
