Classes:PowerHighJump

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: Inventory→Powerup→PowerHighJump

One of the many powerups, i.e. items based on the Powerup class. While an item of this class is placed in an actor's inventory, the actor will be affected by it. Usually powerups are given through a PowerupGiver, but they can be given directly as well (see here for more details).

PowerHighJump increases the player's jump height. Effective jump multiplier can be calculated with the following formula:

(((JumpZ*2)**2)/2+maxstepheight)/((JumpZ**2)/2+maxstepheight)

The strength of the jump can be controlled with the Powerup.Strength property, which acts as a multiplier. If multiple powerups of this type are in the inventory, the engine picks the one with the highest strength (so, they don't stack).

The effects of this powerup are not handled by the powerup itself, but rather by the CheckJump virtual function of the PlayerPawn class (as can be seen here).

DECORATE definition

Note: This is legacy code, kept for archival purposes only. DECORATE is deprecated in GZDoom and is completely superseded by ZScript. GZDoom internally uses the ZScript definition above.
