Gravitation.... no not the yaoi comic Created 19 years ago2004-08-21 16:43:23 UTC by Gone_Latin

Does anyone have a good gravity tutorial or example map?
I've tried to get a gravity free zone with func_gravity and having it set to 0, but it doesnt change anything, i have also tried triggering it but still nothing...........

Gravity 0 is the default, afaik.

Try setting it to 200 or something to test it, then you can play around with values later on.

I thought default gravity was 100.

i thought it was exactly 1g we measured it by, but thats jsut what i heard from [i] dwarf season 3... [i/]

Server default gravity is 800, I believe. That's what sv_gravity yields, in any case.

Default is 800. 200 makes it look like your jumping with a longjump, even if you don't have it, and 1600 will kill you if you fall off of the curb.

Ah, I was refering to Half-Life.

You have to pass through a trigger_gravity for it to work, so the best idea is to have two triggers, side by side leading into the room that you want to have reduced gravity.
The first outside Trigger is set to 1 or 'Normal Gravity' the second inside Trigger to something lower... I suggest 0.1.
The range is 1 to 0 with 1 being Normal.
That way when you walk in the room you will walk into a reduced gravity zone and it will be normal when you walk out.

Works for me...

so..... in mutiplayer, the trigger gravity will change the gravity for everyone+everywhere??

Setting the gravity to 0 doesnt work it screws up, set it above 0.

but still between 0 and 1......... so how does one get 0 gravity???? surely even 0.1 would have some gravity effect

yep

Halflife does NOT like zero gravity. Neither will your player who is stuck on the ceiling with no way to maneuver....

hmmm ok..... maybe....... i should just put invisble brushes around the bit i want, so it looks like youre floating

0.00000000001 ?

or that, yeah..........

If you made the gravity -1 , you don't go up and you dont go down which is what you want right? 800 is normal gravity. 300 would probably be the long jump.

You can play around with it using 'Gravity Test' in the 'Examples' map vault.

the entity says that it can be any number between 1 and 0........... not 800!

The numbers 200, 800, etc., mentioned above are numbers that the server uses for the command 'sv_gravity.'

The equivalent effect of 1 in trigger_gravity is about the same as the 'sv_gravity 800' command at the console. 0.2 for trigger_gravity is about the same as 'sv_gravity 200' at the console. Give or take.
