Description HOLD RIGHT
---------------
I don't think that this has been discovered before. It's really odd.

i swear!

that twump has been editeed

LOL

Thats wierd.
It's like a teleporter. In another map theres a teleporter
but I don't know the maps name, I forgot.
Good though. 4.2/5

wow....

that is so weird. cool, but weird

I Wonder

If this is how the blocky curve maps work.

Wow.

Thats just weird.

demo

jumping off the top thwump first

Weeeee....

Here's a no jump race i made using this newfangled form of propulsion.
http://numa.notdot.net/map/98061
same thing happens...very nice 5/5
Demo Data

uhh

tristan has it basically right

order of operations, code running one after another...and each code happens to say that when ninja hits corner of thwump (as many people should know due to this happening to them) he gets a random boost...one after another after another and so on and so forth = huge boost

o.0

whoa

Um... bye?

Demo Data

Pretty great

nice effect ^_^.

It works with any number of thwumps as long as N's feet are flush with the top of the approaching thwump.

I believe this happens because each thwump's code executes in a certain order during the course of one frame- each one after the other. When this happens with one thwump, N gets a slight increase in vertical speed as a result of the collision detection formulas. When it happens with multiple thuwumps, all in a row, he is moved by the formulas to the to of the thwump stack (watch in frame-by-frame) and gets a vertical speed boost for each thwump he hit. I tried it with less thwumps (by deleting them off this map) and it seems to support my (long winded) theory.

through the roof

literally. Like usaswim's, but i don't die and i manouvre the ninja in the air to come back down and die on the roof :D watch it full screen
Demo Data

Hmmm

ummm...yeah

Teleportation speed
Demo Data
I keep on dying hitting the thwumps.

K-razy

5aved, because discovering new propulsion at this point deserves an auto-five.

seven_two:

Holy shiz.
But I stepped on a thwump and flew up.
Demo Data
is needed
if N touches teh killing area of the bottom thwump then hes dead. above that and fling
less than 20 thwumps is possible but it becomes a bit messy

yes Clifty

indeed

its a teleporter thats not teleporting
Demo Data

Excellent find.

I can already see this being utilized in different sorts of maps.

HOLY CHEESE

@Cheespuffs

Watch this demo for your level. I found a wierd propulsion on it.

WHAT THE FUCK?

ImPRESSive, man!!!

Awesome

IT doesn't work when its not moving tho

Nice find

Cool demo

check it out...

woah.

Oh kewl

The less thwumps you stack on top of each other, the less high it jumps. Damn this is one helpful finding. Typically, we only used 1 thwump to make us jump a little, but now, we can stack them on top of each other and control the height we jump! KEWL!

Thing is, it won't be very useful in races, and maybe DDAs, because it acts like a slower version of a teleporter.

...

it even works with a couple bit of thuwmps, which can be used to reduce lag if used in a level, and if you don't need as powerful boost.

dang that's cool

not to mention it looks like one elongated 3-D thwump coming at you. 5aved

Cool!

it teleports!
