Does Renegade multiply gravity scale by 9.8 or 4.5 if neither is Gravity scale the gravitational force by itself?

1 = low gravity
5 = high gravity

2.5 is about average.

I don't know anything about multipliers though. I try to make it simple.

AFAIK, Renegade does not use a *unified* gravity equation. Every unit has it's own gravity value and that value defines the behavior of the unit in the game. If i can recall correctly - that's how we made jumpjet infantry in the past - give the soldier a huge (or was it low? Huh

) value and when jumping, the soldier will stay in mid-air for some time.

I don't remember what the gravity scale was in leveledit, but i think you should follow OWA's advice here Smile

It was low.
Dang that makes it more difficult for Artillery projectile calculations.

or just use Toggle_Fly_Mode() engine call. Satisfied

I am talking about projectiles.

Every projectile has its own gravity too. You can set it in leveledit. Like the settings of characters. I think its possible in some way what you want.
