Spontaneous Spawning Swoops


Recommended Posts

Posted

Trying to think outside the box here, but in JKA MP, can there be a method employed to allow players with no admin access to spawn a swoop wherever they might be on the map.  Not relying on a specific located button, but from wherever they are, just spawn one.  

I know functions like 'keys' exist to unlock certain privileges, and the use item option is also a thought I had.  Just don't know if this is something that can be figured out based on the game's mechanics.

I do not believe this is possible. The only way I can think of doing it would be to use a script to copy the player's origin to the swoop bike, then copy the origin of the swoop bike to itself in the same instant to force it to move. Even if it works, it is most likely just going to telefrag the player.

Not to mention, swoops have a bug in MP where if one player is on a swoop, other player's cameras can spin like crazy, making the game unplayable. I recommend avoiding them, at least for base game.

This would be hosted on a JA+ server, so the spinning void of death won't be an issue.  But as far as spawning them, we certainly want to avoid telefrag as well.  Hmm.  Can they be converted into a useable item, like the deployable gattling gun?

You're definitely entering the territory of a code mod, there. If this can be done without it, I want to know how, because that would be one impressive technique. Sorry, I won't be much help on this subject. 😕
