262 jump, or a miscalculation

leveller · Post by **leveller** » December 1st, 2005, 4:31 pm

after i knew that i was able to jump from Box 1 to Box 2 on mp_jump (see pic)
i wanted to know the distance between Box 1 and Box 2.

i used the console command "/viewpos" to see where i was on the map,
and came up with the numbers you see on the picture. (dont forget to add in the size of your player in to your calculation).

as you can see, the boxes are 160 by 208 units apart.

now i only need to calculate the diagonal distance between Box 1 and Box 2,
by using

AÂ² + BÂ² = CÂ²

25600 + 43264 = 68864

A = 160
B = 208
C = 262.4195115

so by my calculations i am able to jump a good 262 units.

But knowing that i never jumped a gap greater the 255 units
i'm wondering if my calculation are correct.

so here is my question

Can someone please re mesure and recalculate.

And if my calculations are correct,
pleae explain why a diagonal jump carries you further.

Ive tried gettin the coÃ¶rdinats by saving at the edges of the blocks... it turned out. the save mod doesnt count in units...
I measured it all and got to a distance of 235 (save mod coÃ¶rdinats), but i think that is not correct since the biggest of the 'normal' jumps is 195 (which in units is not quite a strafejump :s)

I think its about right, i made a test map and placed 3 boxes the same distances apart as shown in the pic, then made a brush 262 units long and rotated it so it fit between the 2 corners, and it was almost spot on give or take a unit. and you do seem to travel further diagonally, but i have only made it with 333fps as yet.

I would imagine that it is about 262. WP

the best way to mesure it is with the "/viewpos" command

if you would jump from the middle box to the box on the left you would get a distance from
aprox 275 units, which can also be jumped.

but i still cant figure out how its posible, and with what angle you can jump the furthest.

well im not one with maths but OMFG leveller is amazing mathamatiction

i tryed to make a long word

but if thats possible then amazing

i can make a 262

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee < = i is a pro now

im pretty hyper

hmm... so if you made a whole load of hard jumps in radiant then rotated them all 45 degrees... then compiled and played the map you should be able to easily jump them all?

? what?

sohcahtoa = sin - cos - tan

its like the thing u use to work it out m8

ull learn that in year 9 more than likely. depending which set you are in...its pretty easy tbh...

funny that what pythageros was famous for was his downfall lol..../points and laughs
