look straight down

percyjenkins · 10-13-2007, 06:14 PM

what are the settings to look straight down and throw grenades directly below you? i ask because in concmaps, i find myself needing to ricochet concs off walls instead of throwing them directly below me. thanks

It requires sv_cheats 1. I'm afraid. Therefor the command is classed as cheat. Yeah, it isn't one really but it was probably to ensure no lame things could be pulled off.

Edit: I don't think it can be done in HL2-FF anyway.

yeah, i don't think it's possible to just have them spawn right under you. i think learning to bank them so that they land right under ya is kinda a skill and have fun learning to get it right.

Isn't the point of mastering conc maps to work on your skills, not your scripts?

Who has skill? I've been letting my computer play TFC since 99.

hahaha. it's a lot harder to conc straight up into a tube you barely fit in if you can't throw the concs directly below you. I just spray my spray right in the center of the room and just take a wild guess.

Try tossing the conc into the tube that way it bounces right back below you at the perfect spot...also makes a double better b/c the conc will usually bounce a bit and boost you a little...

It's just looking down further that's all. Doesn't need to be a script.
It helps leet concers better place concs on complicated jumps (not noob ground to tube alignment jumps...who on earth would be that useless). But it's a preference thing, like any other cvar.

It has no advantages in double distance concing etc or in normal gameplay.

Can't be done without sv_cheats 1 on in FF, not sure it's possible anyway.

"leet" concers should be able to do the jumps without having to look down, imo its deffinately one of the skills which should be mastered. being able to place a conc exactly where you want it every time makes it far too easy. when doing a very high juggle for example, if you could just drop the conc below you all the time, wheres the skill in that? having to time it right, bounce it off the wall infront of you so that it goes right below you is where the skill comes in.

Paft · 10-17-2007, 11:24 AM

You don't really know what you're talking about, whatever. You people look into it to deeply. It's nothing. And only of use (which is barely any) insane jumps that go on for ages. If you're good for a start.

Changing a cvar as so you can look (moving mouse) directly down is of no use to me because I'm no good on immensely difficult maps.

Just now picked a video at random, haven't watched it before. Watch from 8:22 - 8:53. If I hadn't said.. you wouldn't even have noticed; nothing is it.

smerpy wasn't using cl_pitchdown 108 there, that was just the conc effect.

TheWetMule · 10-17-2007, 03:57 PM

Rofl, lookdown isn't that fookin' helpful anyway, hinders you more than it helps.. also I remember watching that .avi and being in awe at thinking it was awesome-sauce sexy/pro, not anymore

gotta be god to do a large juggle without looking down. most of your time should be spent looking down. not looking up during a jump is what requires more knowledge of what you are doing.
