Jump MF - basic mod to unlock vaulting animation

[das attorney 858]

Overview:

Jump MF is a basic clientside mod to unlock the currently superflous vaulting animation in Arma 3 Alpha.

Video - thanks very much to Feint :)

Dependancies:

CBA A3

Arma 3 (shouldn't matter if stable or dev build.

Use:

When you walk and press the stepover key (default is V) you will play the step over animation as usual. If you jog or sprint, you will vault instead.

Note: The code may not work if you have rebound the stepover key to include a modifier (CTRL, SHIFT or ALT). Also might not function if you have rebound the key to something like 2 x V or 2 x E (multiples). Maybe I will include a userconfig later on.

Should be safe in MP, although not tested. Report any problems here. Server Key and v2 sigs in download.

Thanks:

CBA team for their awesome mod.

BIS for their awesome games.

Nice one. I must put a link in the jump discussion :)

[smookie 11]

Good job, you found it:)

[YouRek 10]

very nice thanks =)

[SpacemanSpiff 10]

Smookie's comment ftw lol. And agreed. I could of sworn I saw this in a Dayz Dev video. Was dissapointed it wasn't in game. And as hoped it is just hidden for now. =)

Any chance you could please make it server side so we can see eachother jump? I know alot of people would really appreciate a jumping mod that works in multiplayer.

I tried another client jumping script, http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?152227-Using-Arigatos-Jumper-Script-for-Multiplayer

but we were not able to see eachother jump.

Awesome mod, you only need to fix 2 things:

- There is a lot of delay sometime, like 2-3 seconds, between pressing V and the actual jump.

- While in Tactical Pace the climb animation should be the default one, not the jump.

Other than that, good job.

[twisted 128]

this is cool. one suggestion is to keep the running pace and not add a sprint - otherwise the guy always dashes into the wall first before trying to jump it.

thanks for unlocking it. damn i reckon arma3 is going to surpirse us in quite a few interesting ways still.

[Predator.v2 10]

This jump delay is kinda annoying. Without it, i'd definitely use it permanently.

[SmallBlackSheep 0]

Awesome!

[Richie 330]

I like it :) It'll come in handy

A combat roll would be exellent as well, if possible.

[MasterDon 10]

Here we go! Might be quite useful to have other than vault. Nice animation! :cool:

Thanks to Smookie for anim and Foxhound for the mirror.

- While in Tactical Pace the climb animation should be the default one, not the jump.

Interesting thought - What do others think of this?

[Twin2Win 1]

Maybe a slower and not as high jump, more a less a short hop if in tactical?

[das attorney 858]

No can do, unless someone makes some custom anims. This is just to unlock an anim in the game that wasn't put in the controls so you can have a play with it.

[Twin2Win 1]

Ah ok well if that's the case then when in tactical I'd prefer the regular vault.

How does it affect fatique?

This. And does the weight of your equipment affect how fast/high you jump? There should be a penalty for having a heavy/bulky loadout. Or will this need to be ACE-ed in?

[Predator.v2 10]

Nice update. Working perfectly now!

To be honest guys, I have no idea about the new fatigue system and it's workings. I can tell you that I ran about while jumping and you do tire quicker than running the same distance, but as to whether there's enough of an effect or not on stamina is not something I would know about. I looked at all the new scripting commands and saw that there is getFatigue/setFatigue/load/loadAbs but I didn't want to start messing with them in this until there's enough feedback in the thread to judge how it feels to people currently.

If enough people feels it's too arcadey as it stands, I can change it. I don't really have an agenda with this mod; it's just something I can use to get into Arma 3 scripting/modding so by all means, suggest away.

Also, thanks once again for the new mirror Fox, I haven't really been on the ball recently so apologies for not sending you the usual emails. :)
