A small favour !

I wonder if any of you very lucky Cyber Cafe people could maybe test to see how everything (tires, bottles, grenades, dead bodies) react to sv_gravity at 0 or low gravity of say 50.

Would love to hear back on this one.

Cheers

o0o0o nice question ;D

 

[ksimm]

The only reason I ask is because we had a thread here a few weeks back discussing various physics stuff.

The big question for me is how the bodies react under 0 gravity - for space type MODs. I have a feeling it should all be pretty cool with the bodies reacting as they should - would be pretty cool to see a body flip and spin in the air under zero gravity conditions to then hit a wall and the IK react along with it.

Another one I would be interested in is to have the sv_gravity at a negative value so things float upwards and then have it change to normal real world gravity and see if the Tyres in de_dust bounce accordingly, although I doubt glass bottles would smash on ground impact.... if it did though

Objects don't react to changed (not-normal) gravity, only players.

I wish this werent the case, we set sv_gravity to 0 hoping the stuff would float around, but it just acts like gravity is at normal whilst the players float around.

Maybe there's a seperate variable that controls the simulated objects' gravity.

ahhhhh ok cheers, how did the bodies react ?

I am guessing maybe they did this on purpose, perhaps its too much on the CPU to have 0 gravity on all objects...

 

[lePobz]

I'm not sure about dead bodies reacting in 0 G, but i'd assume they behave as objects as soon as they die.

maybe its a bug, and doesnt respond to it, i hope it is

 

[kevinb456]

wow, nice question, it would be really cool if you could do that, i hope it gets changed, or there is a variable to change it for the objects. you coul make some really good space-mods, with jetpacks to propel you through space

You have to change the gravity before you start the map or server. Then, it'll work.

If not that, maybe theres a seperate sv_physics_gravity or somthing

 

[bliink]

you change the gravity for the specific object when designing the levels, as for the ragdolling, i assume that would be modified in a .cfg file or something
