Slowing down the player movement?

#1 Change the player.cs.

#2 I don't know if i get you, or if you get me, but i mean to change the speed of the player on the fly?

so for example, while running:
maxForwardSpeed = 8;
maxBackwardSpeed = 6;
maxSideSpeed = 7;

but when Zoomed:
maxForwardSpeed = 4;
maxBackwardSpeed = 3;
maxSideSpeed = 3.5;

I'm guessing that onTrigger, will do it? but I haven't been able to get any slow downs.

#3 Ok the Armour::OnTrigger(...)

Is only for fire, jump, etc... no forward etc, or the second mouse button.

Is there a better function to use somewhere?

Or would I have go in to the engine and make a function which returns the movements of walking as well? That seems abit much to me for something like this.

Any ideas most welcome.

** I'm really stuck now... has anyone done this?

#4 Only way I found to manipulate the max/min speeds of a player on a player by player basis were to adjust it in the C++ code since the datablocks affect EVERYONE.

#5 Good point it would.

#6 You can do this in scripting as well, not as pretty but something to work with until you can find another solution.

Make a player set with normal max speeds, then a second datablock with the faster speeds.

Then make a function to set the datablock to the faster armor when its time to use your "Zoom" then switch them back to the normal armor.

Quote:Make a player set with normal max speeds, then a second datablock with the faster speeds.

why not just make a function that sets the speed in C++ that is what I did, very clean.

#8 Wouldn't a better idea be to put in a scaling value in so that the movement rate is still based on the datablock's max/min move rates?
