Kart control suggestions please

Archive: 3 posts


I recently published a level using a custom Kart and control system to produce RPG style gameplay. I used a Handling Tweaker with Tank controls, and a Kartinator so that all movement is controlled by the left stick and X button jumps. Here's the level thread, just starting the first part will show how the controls works: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=78425-Love-Panda-(single-player-rpg)
I'm planning to share this control system as prize for other creators, first I want to give it a little more polish.

There's one thing I didn't get working the way I'd like, and this is where I'm hoping someone may have a brilliant idea.
As I said, left stick moves the character and X button jumps. If you're already moving forward, it's not hard to jump across a gap or onto a platform. But from a standstill, you can only jump straight up. I'd like the ability to have some forward movement when jumping from a standstill, making it easier to jump onto platforms.

I have tried using a Self Weaponizer to give forward boost (like the boxing glove does) but that's too much boost for too long. I need small and subtle.
I also tried using a Thruster. Silly me, that doesn't work on a Kart.

So I kinda think it's not possible to get the movement during a jump that I wanted, but not ready to give up yet... I'll try any suggestions, however crazy, so fire away!

Did you try nagging ConfusedKartman/Michael Buffaloe to get thrusters to work on karts?

You could move away from karts altogether, but then you'd have to do the complete controls yourself.

I've done enough nagging about bigger issues - like the update causing my popit to suddenly be empty

For this purpose, I'll stick with Karts. Probably try making completely kartless characters... later on.
