This page contains a list of all JumpJet-related flags. Take note that Westwood's QA utterly failed at ensuring consistency, and that, as a result, it depends on each particular flag whether it is spelled "JumpJet" or "Jumpjet".
Global Defaults
These are the global defaults under [JumpjetControls]. It appears these aren't used for units which have a custom Jumpjet flag.
TurnRate=4 Speed=14 Climb=5 CruiseHeight=500 ; cruiseheight should be higher than a bridge, just to be safe Acceleration=2 WobblesPerSecond=.15 WobbleDeviation=40
Any given Unit
These can be on any given unit; many of them are not required, as a common comment explains: params not defined use defaults (old globals way up top called Jumpjet controls). However, tests have shown this NOT the case.
Locomotor={92612C46-F71F-11d1-AC9F-006008055BB5} ;Jumpjet JumpJet=yes JumpJetTurn=yes ;Use proper turn logic JumpjetSpeed=30 JumpjetClimb=20 JumpjetCrash=25 ; Climb, but down JumpJetAccel=10 JumpJetTurnRate=10 JumpjetHeight=500 JumpjetWobbles=.01 ; ! value of zero stop wobbles? NO! Wobbles of zero means div by 0 crash. "How many wobbles would you like?" "0" "You must have wobbles!!! I kill you!" JumpjetDeviation=1 JumpjetNoWobbles=yes ; the wobbling is in the Hover sequence of the art, instead of being programmer art/ sine wave ; Really small numbers on two lines above don't actually slow down the wobbling since it is the amplitude of a sinusoidal curve TiltCrashJumpjet=yes ; can handle tilting while falling without freaking out
Jumpjet Infantry
The Jumpjet system was originally created for a trooper in Tiberian Sun that would walk small distances, and fly long ones (hence the name - it was a soldier who used a jet engine to jump long distances).
YR's Rocketeer forewent that system in favor of staying in the air indefinitely.
Ease of conversion between systems depends on the direction:
- To convert the Rocketeer back to TS's system, all you really have to do is remove BalloonHover=yes and ensure HoverAttack is set to the best fit for your unit. You may want to adjust SpeedType and MovementRestrictedTo to account for the changed mobility.
- Since TS doesn't have BalloonHover, a change forward isn't quite as easy, but the TS editing community has proposed several ways.
