wall to explosion delay

Post by temp123 »

When I crash into a wall, it doesn't even take 1/1000 of a second for me to explode. I've seen servers where it takes up to one second before you explode after crashing in a wall without turning. How do I modify this setting?

thank you.

it deals with the cycle_rubber and lag

if you are laggy you can usually wait longer to tum
and CYCLE_RUBBER is the amount of time it takes for an impact to happen

Actually, that's only true if you set CYCLE_RUBBER_TIMEBASED to 1.
Otherwise it's the distance you would go if there wasn't a wall in front of you before you explode. So actually rubber is measured in metres :P
There's no place like ::1

Actually, timebased is real-like and if ¬ 0≥timebased≥1 you'll merely get some unusual play.

And no matter what, CYCLE_RUBBER is still measured in meters. If TIMEBASED is 1, the time it takes you to explode is just always RUBBER/(the base speed), if TIMEBASED is 0, the time is RUBBER/(your current speed).
