Wall Kicks Will Work

A mod to add wall kicks, allowing you to jump further and/or higher.

 

 

 

 

Using the mod is simple, just press jump when touching a wall in midair, and you'll kick off in the direction you're looking.

By moving and looking towards a wall, you can kick straight up it, giving more height than a standard wall kick.

     

 

 

If you are in a corner, you get a boost to the strength of your kick.

     

 

 

While the default is set to only one, the config lets you increase the number of consecutive wall kicks arbitrarily.

     

 

 

 

This mod was made because I'm a big fan of Salty's movement mods, but one that always stuck out to me as being too unrealistic was Charged Jump; without it though, Catch Ledge wasn't very useful. This mod was originally meant to be a replacement for it, taking inspiration from "pop vaults" used in parkour, but I decided to expand it to include wall kicks in general.

 

Here are some examples of pairing it with Catch Ledge:

     

 

Common reasons your wall kick may fail

 

• The wall kick is dependent on your horizontal speed, so if you're pressed up against a wall and trying to just jump and kick off it, it won't work. Try backing up a bit first.
• Your initial jump may be too late, causing you to hit the wall before jumping; this would cause the above problem.
• When you turn to aim a wall kick, you may accidentally slow yourself in midair, preventing you from touching the wall. Try only turning after touching it, or releasing movement keys while turning.
• If you are falling too fast, you won't be allowed to wall kick. The default setting means that about a block of falling will trigger this.

This is my first code mod, so suggestions on improving the mechanics, moddb page, or even the code is greatly appreciated!

(Creating this has made me hate working with angles)
