<p>ChewburyJr: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox manual/Header}}<br /> ==Technique==<br /> <br /> Bunnyhopping is yet another extension of [[Movement:Strafe_Jump|Strafe Jumping]]. At its basic level, bunnyhopping occurs due to an engine quirk in the movement system. Turning in quake-engine based games results in a slight acceleration; this acceleration is negligible when on the ground, as friction slows the player down. However, when constantly airborne, a player is not subject to ground friction. When a player jumps with good timing, they are deemed to barely touch the ground, so the friction is discounted. Hence, turning while repeatedly jumping can build up a great deal of speed. The simplest way to illustrate the air acceleration effect is to load up a map, set the gravity to a very low value and then:<br /> <br /> * Jump forwards.<br /> * Release the forward key.<br /> * Hold a strafe key<br /> * While keeping the strafe key held, begin to smoothly turn the mouse in the same direction as the strafe<br /> * You should now be turning in a circular fashion and slowly accelerating<br /> * Now, swap strafe keys and begin turning in the other direction. Again, do this smoothly<br /> <br /> Bunnyhopping is simply the same technique, but with jumps performed in a timely fashion every time you touch the ground.<br /> <br /> ==Implementation==<br /> Bunnyhopping is unrestricted up to 170% of the base speed of each class. Upon breaching the 170% cap, every subsequent jump saps 10% of the player&#039;s speed until they are no longer breaching the 170% cap.<br /> <br /> The game has also been coded with an autoqueue (cl_jumpqueue). With this enabled (default), a player needs to simply hold the jump key and the game will queue the next jump for them. This can be turned off with the cvar cl_jumpqueue set to 0.<br /> <br /> The same technique works with crouching, using the same principle but is rarely used because it is more difficult than bunnyhopping and looks stupid.<br /> <br /> =Movies=<br /> [http://www.stage6.com/user/ArxFF/video/1959078/Fortress-Forever---Tutorial-4---Bunny-Hopping A demonstration of bunnyhopping by Arx.]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Movement_Systems]]<br /> {{Infobox manual/Footer}}</div>
