Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

Hello!

I am trying to make a special jetpack, I wish to make it like the jetpack in Battlezone 2.

For example, When the player activates the jetpack through the inventory, the jetpack will thrust the player up around 256, and give the flight capability.

Can anyone tell me how I can use Thing_ThrustZ (or similar) in this manner?

Do I have to apply a specific player tag?

Thanks in advance.

You can combine these:

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:ArtiFly
http://zdoom.org/wiki/PowerFlight

Thrust thing works on DECORATE states as well, so you can make an inventory item, that thrusts the activator up, and grant him the flying ability (an instant use flight artifact). I'm not sure how jetpack works in Battlezone 2, but the effect you described can be achieved by these with only DECORATE and no need to meddle with adding a tag to the player.
