Donation idea - Jetpacks

(1/6) > >>

This idea is the Jetpacks perk. Jetpacks enable players to fly for a fixed amount of time (with gravity).

Basically, the idea is you have the following command:

/jetpack [on|off]

When you turn your jet pack on, you will fly when you crouch. As you fly, the chat will show
[Server] Jet pack fuel at 100%

Then a short amount of time later you will see
[Server] Jet pack fuel at 95%

And as you fly, you use up fuel. The chat will show your jet pack fuel amount. Also the effect would be the same as a jet pack. When crouching, you fly upwards. When you stop crouching, you begin to fall again at the normal rate you would be falling if you jumped from a high place. So you only have limited flight time because once your fuel reaches 0% you begin to fall.

Your jet pack will recharge over time. Every time the charge percent reaches an interval of 20 the server will say
[Server] Jet pack charging [20%]
[Server] Jet pack charging [40%]

Recommended charge rate: 2 seconds / 1% (or 3.33 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%)
Recommended depletion rate: 0.25 seconds / 1% (25 seconds of flight time on a full charge)

It should also be noted that your jet pack will only charge and work when turned on. Turning it off will freeze it where its at in charging or discharge. Quitting the game does the same effect. Upon rejoining, all charge percentages will be the same as they were when the player left. Once again, the player flies by pressing shift (the crouch key), but the player will only fly if they used /jetpack on
If the jet pack is not on, the player will perform a normal crouch. Leaving the game resets the jet pack state so it is off again by default when you join.

While this is an interesting idea indeed, i doubt anything will come of it.

Chief149:
Why not?

SpikeyThorn:
It'd be damn handy for people building things. I know i'd donate for it.

I like the idea, but this goes away from the idea of survival. Its clear that we arent completely a survival server, with pvp, mob damage and opening other's chests off. But adding jetpacks would really digress from the loosely followed idea of survival held here. Interesting idea tho
