Is it possible to create jump platforms, like off Unreal Tournament and Quake games?

Since I've not played either of those games, what exactly are you asking for? A platform that if stood on will force you to jump, or a platform that you can jump to (Like in many oldschool platform games where there'd be a platform hovering in the air)?

If the former, somewhat possible- just make a bunch of teleporter scripts that teleport you a little bit upwards at a time, each linking up with eachother. It'd look a little laggy, but hey, better than nothing.

Do you mean low gravity, like done on the map Mars?

actually, it's a platform that if you stand on, it instantly pushes you up.

There's an existing script that teleports you upwards or in a certain direction when you enter the zone. Its not a smooth transition though. A more advanced script can probably be coded to make you actually fly upwards smoothly when you enter the zone.

Doubtful, as far as I know the only way to do this would be to temporarily modify gravity. This makes it not so smooth client-side... although it should look fine server side.

Although, if a script like that exists, that'd be amazing.

Yes like he said.

That is what I'd like. Don't really wanna use teleporters =(.

I'm sure it's possible if scripted. Wish I knew how to script.

My idea is to make a waypath in LevelEdit that determines which way the jump platform will take you. Upon entering the zone, the script creates an invisible VTOL with collision and attaches you to it. The VTOL will then be forced to move through the waypath and upon reaching the end, it will be destroyed and you will regain control.

This wouldn't allow you to control your direction of flight however.

Would be nice if you could, but not needed.
As long as you can fly up to the part you wanna get to, that's all you need lol.

Oh, that could work. Problem is though, it still wouldn't look too pretty client-side... unless TT fixes this, which I hope it does.
