Limiting a players (bhop) velocity

[Jonzky]

Is there a way to limit a players maximum velocity (when bhopping) without having to check their velocity and alter it?

I know it would be possible checking on a players velocity and then changing it if it goes over a value but that seems horrendously inefficient to do - I was hoping for something that can be set and would restrict them going over a certain speed.

Something like physenv's maxvelocity (but it doesn't affect players) or sv_maxvelocity which seems to have no affect.

I don't think you can get around looking at their velocity.

You could try adding a hook to GM:OnPlayerHitGround(). Check their velocity, and if it's too high, slow them down.

Don't worry abuot inefficiency. There's a lot more "inefficient" stuff going on in the background compared to a GetVelocity inside a think hook for every player.

local maxspeed = 1000
maxspeed = maxspeed*maxspeed
hook.Add("Think", "Limit", function()
	for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		local speed = v:GetVelocity():LengthSqr()
		if speed > maxspeed then
			v:SetVelocity(v:GetVelocity():GetNormal() * math.min(speed, maxspeed))
		end
	end
end)

Try something like this.

SetVelocity adds to their current velocity, you want to use SetLocalVelocity.

Thanks for the replies - I'm always uncertain about how inefficient things are so if this isn't bad then its good to know.

I realized that though setting the speed server side does work it causes horrendous game play for the clients as the latency causes differences between server/client positions so when the velocity is corrected they see their player jerk around.

Then just add the hook on the client so it is the same as the server? Change the coding a bit, and it should be all fine.

Play around with CMoveData in the Move and SetupMove hooks.

Why would you want to do that?

ok den

if velocity > 10 then velocity = 0 end

You could do sv_maxvelocity in the console and it will constraint it close to that value.

This seems the most promising to me - I never knew about it. Thanks.

I'm out of the country until Monday but when I get back I'll post my solution if/when I find it.

I tried setting sv_maxvelocty but it didn't have any noticeable affect on speed and it also stopped people taking fall damage.

[Jonzky]

I believe this worked for me, thanks for the help.

local MAX_SPEED = 800
function speedLimiter(ply, data)
	local speed = ply:GetVelocity():Length()
	if speed > MAX_SPEED then
		data:SetVelocity(ply:GetVelocity() * (MAX_SPEED/speed))
	end
end
hook.Add("Move", "Speed Limit", speedLimiter)
