On the wheel_of_doom (WOD) point entity, there is an option for everyone to moonjump (low gravity). I am curious to how this is possible since changing gravity usually requires sv_cheats. I de-compiled koth_lakeside_event and looked at the WOD but couldn’t find anything. Any feedback on this?

I believe the entity you're looking for is trigger_gravity. It's a brush entity, so create a brush with the trigger texture, surround the entire map with it, and make it this entity. Here is the link to the VDC page on it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Trigger_gravity

Though I would test your wheel of doom first without this entity. I've never used the wheel of doom before, but I wouldn't be surprised if changing the gravity is automatically done when that affect is picked by the wheel.

I dont think the wheel needs trigger brushes. I tried to find out how the jarate rain works and i did noticed it required a brush entity at the sky. But it was the only one that did. But i never found out how to trigger the rain itself with the wheel.

Off topic, but the jarate rain works in Moonshine event. This is how I had it set up:

More off topic, this is somewhat if not exactly what happens on koth lakeside event

I couldn't find any on koth lakeside event, that's where the Moonjump WOD event exsists.

I know how the jarate rain itself works, i just couldnt trigger it manually without the wheel or wheel itself, unless the wheel randomly picked that option itself.

But lakeside doesn't use triggers. The wheel its own entity handles everything by itself except the jatate rain cloud is the only one.

So if the WOD is self sufficient should it be hard coded into the entity?

If you are simply looking for making gravity, you can use trigger texture and make that as entity trigger_add_tf_player_condition
and set the condition for example TF_COND_SPACE_GRAVITY.

Well not so much as making gravity, but being able to control it via a set of buttons. Like a button for low, med, and high. Right now I have a func_button set to trigger the trigger_gravity, but I cant figure out how to change the boolean multiplier

I guess you could just have 3 triggers, one for each intensity you want. I don't know if there's a way to make the gravity higher than normal without sv_gravity.

Been playing around with this for a while, nothing seems to work. I am trying to change the Gravity value dynamically via a trigger or button. Or something. Anyone know how to change values on the fly?
