Jetpack Mod

Post by mallix »

Please make a Jetpack mod that allows the player to fly. Maybe as modular armour module or similar.

Should either use fuel or energy etc.

Then you need to add Height into the Game. And i guess this is the hard part about this.

Not really, I am sure there would be some sort of flying tag which just removes collision. Logistics/Construction robots fly after all.

Create a mod that gives the player the same collision as a robot
Make it drain fuel or more likely energy from modular armor while its up.
Job done.

It would make exploration a bit easier if one can fly over forests (and water?)

The wiki modding tutorial adds a 'bomber', admittedly it's a bit out of date now but there's a somewhat working-ish version here (if you consider using a car as a bomber working-ish).

Yeah, you can remove the collision_box, or add collision_mask = {} (was a bug in the last few versions that prevented the first option). Can't do that as easily in-game, though you could create a new player without, boost it's speeds, and then swap the character whenever you like, though the easier method of that is just to set the character to nil, after saving it, and use god mode to travel (and reconnect the character when the player is done traveling)
