I actually got it to work by using this function pPlayer->SetBaseVelocity( Vector(0, 0, 20) * 40 );
however, when I set the player's flag to FL_BASEVELOCITY it doesn't work anymore. it works just how I want it to (except when you come down on the thing, you kind of....... break your legs). and yes, you're right Garry. Inherently the player isn't a physics object till they reach the air (which I tested ;D), so in order to actually do anything with them you have to set the ground entity to null and then work with their physics object. thanx for all the help guys. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Garry Newman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 5:50 AM To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Changing the players Velocity? > That refreshed my memory.
