<aside> ⚡ script "map_bouncepad_horizontal" (int force, int angle, int sound)

</aside>

Event

This script is called by the player whenever they step on a horizontal bounce pad. The parameters are determined by the bounce pad on which they stepped on.

Usage

This script can replaced by adding a new script in your map of the name, map_bouncepad_horizontal, to add additional behavior to this event, or override the existing behavior.

This script has no expected return value.

Parameters

• force: int - How much force to apply to the player when they are not holding jump.
• angle: int - Which direction the bounce pad is facing, in degrees.
• sound: int - Which sound effect to play when launched.

Default Script

The default horizontal bounce pad script has relatively universal behavior.

First, to prevent the player from getting unintended extra bounce, check for a short-lived powerup called "JumpDirDelay". This powerup lasts 8 tics. If the player has this powerup, stop the script. Otherwise, give it to them.

Apply the given force in the direction corresponding to angle.

Using sound as an index into an array, play a sound effect for the bounce sound.

// Activator: Player who bounced
//
str padSounds[3] = {
    "misc/boing",
    "misc/jumppad",
    "misc/pumpjet",
};

script "map_bouncepad_horizontal" (int force, int angle, int sound)
{
    if(CheckInventory("JumpDirDelay") > 0)
        terminate;
    GiveInventory("JumpDirDelay", 1);
    if(sound > -1) {
        ThingSound(ActivatorTID(), padSounds[sound], 128);
    }
    ThrustThing(angle * 256 / 360, force, force>30, 0);
}
