Tricks (kl_tricks_v1.2.pk3)

I'd recommend trying out Angular's Acrobatics instead of this.

Pretty simple; press BRAKE/DRIFT/CUSTOM1 (BRAKE by default) to do a s i c k trick when going off a slope...

..and you get a nice little speed-boost when you land!

CONSOLE COMMANDS:

• ADMIN/SERVER COMMANDS
  
• t_trickspeed: Changes the type of speed boost you get from landing a trick; can choose between BABYBOOST (the default boost) and STUPIDFAST. (t_trickspeed babyboost or t_trickspeed stupidfast)
• t_trickreminder: Toggle the little reminder that shows up at the start of each race. On by default.
• t_trickeasy: (Applies to players who have DRIFT as their trick button) If on, a trick will be automatically performed for you as long as you're already drifting (so drift storage + trick combos). Off by default.
  
  PLAYER COMMANDS
• t_trickbtn: Change the button used to perform a drift (t_trickbtn DRIFT or t_trickbtn BRAKE or t_trickbtn CUSTOM). Trick button is set to BRAKE by default.

Welcome to releases!

CHANGELOG:

v1.0.1: Made the script a bit more netgame safe (variables weren't set when a player joins in the middle of a race)

[WellDoneSnake]

Neat! I've been waiting to see something like this.

I must admit, I like this Lua mod. Although it is a shame that right now, you can only trick once per ramp - I would possibly had liked it if you could try and trick again to increase your boost - but if you land mid-trick, you won't get a strong boost compared to if you didn't trick that extra time.

Huh this is neat, i assume it gives you a speed boost too?

It does! Originally, it gave you a sneaker boost when landing but that was way too overpowered, but now it just gives you the same boost you get from drifting.

CHANGELOG:

v1.0.2: Fixed dumb oversight; added spectator checks

These spectator checks are broken. They should be like the following:

if(p.specator) then continue end

This way, it just skips them, unlike yours where the if a player is after a spectator, they can't trick.

CHANGELOG:

v1.0.3 (hopefully the LAST): Fixed the dumb oversight fix (thank you Latius). Don't panic patch at 5am in the morning <:)

[ProfessorBadvibes]

Tried this mod out on a server and it seems to be causing spectators to fail sync.

[Afrorule]

(Overdue) CHANGELOG:

* Fixed dumb resynching/desync issue when loading mod in netgames
* Added console variable, toggletrickspeed, changes the type of speed boost you get from landing a trick

[Afrorule]

v1.1.2 CHANGELOG:

* You can now press DRIFT instead of stinky CUSTOM1 to perform a trick! (s/o to Darkybenji for bringing this up)
* Buffed the boost you get from landing a trick ('babyboost') just a tad
* Reminder that shows up at the start of each race informing players how to perform a trick, which can be disabled with the console variable, 'toggletrickreminder'. (More info in original post)
* New console variable, 'toggletrickeasy', more info in original post (thanks Purpsky)

Personally, I prefer BT_BRAKE, as in many cases, you drift over ramps and hold the drift the entire time. Brake has literally no function in the air, so it is perfect for this, and I'ts what I run on my server. Would be appreciative of an option so I can run it on a public server.

[Afrorule]

v1.1.3 CHANGELOG:

* New console command, t_trickbtn, can change your preferred button to perform a trick.
* Default trick button changed to BRAKE instead of DRIFT, can be changed with the aforementioned console command, t_trickbtn.
* Refactored console commands to help differentiate them from other mods (read original post for more info)

Hey dude. I want to say, you got me and my friends annoyed that you changed the default command to break. those of us using controllers are very annoyed by this change. I personally feel that setting it to drift would be the closest to mario kart controls, which a lot of us would be already used to. Or custom action 1, as people who have used your mod from the beginning would already be used to.

[Alessand97]

Can't please everybody it seems...

Then use the console command to change the button, which was also added in that update.

[Afrorule]

v1.2 CHANGELOG:

* Can once again use CUSTOM1 to perform a trick. (t_trickbtn CUSTOM) (I thought custom bindings were "eh", but people seemed to prefer it?)
* Fixed minor bug
