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".

Globals

These are the global values under [JumpjetControls] applied to all units using the Jumpjet locomotor. Used only in Tiberian Sun. 

TurnRate=3
Speed=30
Climb=5.0
CruiseHeight=400	; cruiseheight should be higher than a bridge, just to be safe
Acceleration=0.25
WobblesPerSecond=0.25
WobbleDeviation=40
CloakDetectionRadius=0

Any given Unit

These can be on any given unit in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. Despite comments suggesting the [JumpjetControls] section is used as default, this is not the case. 

Locomotor={92612C46-F71F-11d1-AC9F-006008055BB5} ;Jumpjet
JumpJet=no
JumpJetTurn=no ;Use proper turn logic
JumpjetSpeed=14
JumpjetClimb=5.0
JumpjetCrash=5.0 ; Climb, but down
JumpjetAccel=2.0
JumpjetTurnRate=4
JumpjetHeight=500
JumpjetWobbles=0.15 ; ! 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=40
JumpjetNoWobbles=no ; 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=no ; 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.
