Upside-Down Player + Walking on Ceiling

[Baker]

What needs to do be done to engine to be able to support walking on the ceiling upside down?

This is interesting, isn't it? I mean, Quake doesn't support anything that you could easily switch on and off and see it go work. It'd probably be easiest if you're using QC along with it. I'd personally rotate the world around the player, would probably be easier but would cause artifacts with other objects affected by gravity and the like, most likely.

You could simply add the gravity variable that isn't already present, then go ahead flip that little switch before you do the player's physics and flip it back, but the problem would then be which direction to move the player, has to be relative to the "floor's" normal, assuming that you want to be able to walk on sideways walls and sloped surfaces as well and not just the ceiling.

sv_gravity -800 seems to work reasonably alright, but is obviously a hack rather than a general solution.

Doin' the Lionel Ritchie:



Wow, movement is all screwed up here!
