Unique Player Motion

[MasterSplinter]

I can't remember the exact date, but it was when Quake 1 was new, and servers where all over the place:

I remember seeing on several servers... player models doing the worm while running... It seemed almost as if the players could make this happen on command. I guess you could say it was the "death animation" that was being executed.

At the time, I figured that it was bad data from my quake client or some special server setting allowing players to do this.

Has anyone witnessed such movement?

I remember watching a player triggering the death animations while they were walking (not dying). Is this what you're talking about? Not sure how they did it though.

hehe I've actually had that happen on my Quake server.

It's an old bug with the player's animation... i forget what triggers it (walkframe leak I think), but once it happens, the player will go through all of the animations for the model while running. Looks really funny

its a bug in the quakeC axe animation. There's 1 less frame in the actual model.
This is also called 'wigging', and still exists in crmod

I used to play with someone "forget the name" and he could do it regularly. Is this possible to bind the command? that would be cool.

;p

i know the glitch.. i can do it.. i have to have chase_active 1 on.. so i can see my self doing it.. otherwise u dont really know if ur doing it.. just ur opponents can c it.

[metchsteekle]

you can do it at the end of a map on fvf

[Mr.Burns]

The mighty peg can do it if you ask him nicely

[Polarite]

U can do it on any map u want , just not on a runequake server .
To do it , select axe hit attack and while the axe is in motion quickly hit forward and hold that key don't release it otherwise it stops the funky animation .
U can now change gun jump around , shoot and chat while doing the funky animation but hold down the forward key

have fun.

There is a forward button?

Rofl. I remember that shit.

[Phenom]

Mindz showed me this glitch a few years back, its pretty easy to do, totally useless but 100% entertaining.

The key that u use to walk forward ofcourse

[MasterSplinter]

Did I just create a monster?

The Funky Worm is gonna be the next thing we will never see the end of.

Who is gonna write the script for this?!

here's the bug

void()	player_run =[	$rockrun1,	player_run	]
{
	self.weaponframe=0;
	if (!self.velocity_x && !self.velocity_y)
	{
		self.walkframe=0;
		player_stand1();
		return;
	}

	if (self.weapon == IT_AXE)
	{
		if (self.walkframe == 6)
			self.walkframe = 0;
		self.frame = $axrun1 + self.walkframe;
	}
	else
	{
		if (self.walkframe == 6)
			self.walkframe = 0;
		self.frame = self.frame + self.walkframe;
	}
	self.walkframe = self.walkframe + 1;
};

The problem is with the animation.
Holding a gun standing has 6 frames, running with the gun has 6 frames, running with an axe has 6 frames.
But, standing with an axe has 12 frames.

if (self.weapon == IT_AXE)
	{
		if (self.walkframe >= 12)
			self.walkframe = 0;
		self.frame = $axstnd1 + self.walkframe;
	}

After you've stood > 6 frames then walk with axe you should trigger this.

	if (self.velocity_x || self.velocity_y)
	{
		self.walkframe=0;
		player_run();
		return;
	}

when you move after 6 frames it calls player_run, but player run only checks if the animation frame EQUALS 6 exactly, but your into frame 7 or 8 in the axe stand. so when run is called its going further down the animation list beyond just running..
here's the fix

	if (self.weapon == IT_AXE)
	{
		if (self.walkframe >= 6)
			self.walkframe = 0;
		self.frame = $axrun1 + self.walkframe;
	}
	else
	{
		if (self.walkframe >= 6)
			self.walkframe = 0;
		self.frame = self.frame + self.walkframe;
	}
