Jumpjet flags

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.
