[ANY] Make entities bounce (or hop)
Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2020 9:17 pm
To make entities bounce (or hop), something needs to act upon the entities with a certain amount of force in order to change their velocity.
With Source.Python, the easiest way to accomplish this is to change their velocity directly with the teleport virtual function.
Or with the apply_force_center function by accessing the PhysicsObject of the entity (thank you L'In20Cible).
Here's a very simple class that you can use to make any entity bounce randomly with ease.
And here's how'd you use this to make entities bounce:
By adjusting the bounce_multiplier, you can make entities wiggle, hit the skybox, and everything in between.

Syntax: Select all
entity.teleport(origin, angle, velocity)
Syntax: Select all
entity.physics_object.apply_force_center(velocity)

Syntax: Select all
from events import Event
@Event('bomb_dropped')
def bomb_dropped(event):
bouncy_bomb = bouncy_instances[event['entindex']]
# The bomb will only bounce when it's on the ground, until it is picked up.
bouncy_bomb.start_bouncing(tickrate=0.3, multiplier=1.3, ground_check=True)
Syntax: Select all
from entities.entity import BaseEntity
from entities.hooks import EntityPreHook, EntityCondition
@EntityPreHook(EntityCondition.is_player, 'drop_weapon')
def drop_weapon_pre(stack_data):
base_entity = BaseEntity._obj(stack_data[1])
bouncy_weapon = bouncy_instances[base_entity.index]
# The weapon will bounce once a second no matter where it is, either in the
# air or on the ground, for the next 10 seconds or until it is picked up.
bouncy_weapon.start_bouncing(
tickrate=1,
multiplier=0.5,
ground_check=False,
duration=10
)
