Overiding kJumpForce

Soul_Rider · October 2013

The force used when a player is jumping is stored as a local variable in the JumpMoveMixin. I need to override the force as i have increased gravity. Although I have increased the players JumpHeight, he doesn't have sufficient force in the jump to reach the height.

In the code, the only example of a kJumpForce override is the Onos who sets Onos.kJumpForce = 20. I have tried this method, but my player does not jump any higher. By reducing the gravity slightly I got a bit more height.

I tried to set Avatar.kJumpForce = 100, but still no improvement. Does anyone know a good way to override this? I am not sure why it has been hidden away in a core mixin file, jump force is a very basic attribute to be modded, yet it appears difficult to mod.

That's because

local kStrafeJumpForce = 1
local kStrafeJumpDelay = 0.7
function Marine:ModifyJump(input, velocity, jumpVelocity)
    
    local isStrafeJump = input.move.z == 0 and input.move.x ~= 0
    if isStrafeJump and self:GetTimeGroundTouched() + kStrafeJumpDelay < Shared.GetTime() then
    
        local strafeJumpDirection = GetNormalizedVector(self:GetViewCoords():TransformVector(input.move))
        jumpVelocity:Add(strafeJumpDirection * kStrafeJumpForce)
        jumpVelocity.y = jumpVelocity.y * 0.8
        self.strafeJumped = true
        
    else
        self.strafeJumped = false
    end
    
    jumpVelocity:Scale(self:GetSlowSpeedModifier())
    
end

Is what you want

function JumpMoveMixin:ModifyJump(input, velocity, jumpVelocity)
end

Thanks @SamusDroid. I had deleted that function, as I don't use strafe jump, so missed the example. Thanks for the tip.

Well, it's been the same code for a long time so, doesn't mean current strafe jump necessarily
