Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 19, 2006, 06:20:03 AM: Concept is edited: I am now rendering and uploading it so I feel like I can now do this:

CATAPULTING!!!!
Folks I now officially present Catapulting. The video is pretty explanatory so just watch it. Basically you are using the launching force of an explosion on a junk car to launch a bicycle and then grabbing onto it so you go where the bicycle goes. Generally speaking the location of the explosion, direction and distance, will affect where the catapult goes. This stunt type is new, unconventional, extremely powerful and best of all FUN!

Video: http://rapidshare.de/files/33667541/ThisIs...lting_.wmv.html (http://rapidshare.de/files/33667541/ThisIsCatapulting_.wmv.html)
http://www.filefactory.com/file/252137/ (http://www.filefactory.com/file/252137/)

*Some general information*
-The junk cars are generally found in LS, no other items have the same effects when put near explosions, I have looked around but please feel free to experiment elsewhere.
-Turn off the damage prevention if you use GTA Control Center, this will change how the stunt works
-Having damage prevention turned off 100% (so all types of damage affect cars) will allow for stats to register for this stunt type, also starting SA center after running SA seems to be best
-The damage prevention setting is in the "Vehicle and Game Data" tab, in the top left
-Obviously the junk cars dont move with the current flaws of the SA replay system, so right now it is limited for its locations and showing stunts etc...new replay system anyone?
-Some junk cars launch better than others, ive yet to work out the reason for this

*Thank you*
-Juan and Kingjad: It was after I had some general stunting discussion, regarding the Return of El Diablo, that I fired up SA with grenades in mind. I noticed the effect on the junk cars in my general experiemntation and this led to the development of Catapulting
-Nitzkit: Shoutout for helping me with getting a working and replicable stunt with this by listening to my ideas for it and giving some suggestions. Also thanks for working out how to get stats for Catapulting: cos i got the WR's now

Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Greendead on September 19, 2006, 06:41:24 AM: The bad thing is that you can't make challenges with this, because junk cars are always different, when you come on their point
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 19, 2006, 06:45:05 AM: ^What do you mean?

Junk cars always spawn in the same spots, when the explosions throws them out of whack...just teleport away and then close again and they will reset
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Dannye on September 19, 2006, 06:46:30 AM: Sweet and sour chicken, its out, I gotta watch this, and it also means that Concept is coming soon too, even cooler
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Greendead on September 19, 2006, 06:49:09 AM: I mean that junk cars are always in a different position, when you come to them. Everytime. Get it? Because I saw in your video that your junk car was different as mine. In the different position I mean.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 19, 2006, 06:53:30 AM: ^Not in my experience...can you please screenshot the one you have that is in a different spot?
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Slim on September 19, 2006, 06:54:22 AM: SHIT! Fucking awsome Kr3m. Gonna try it out.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Dannye on September 19, 2006, 06:59:26 AM: Just finished watchin it dude, that was brilliant. Great work in coming up with it. And landing on that BB was awesome. I can't wait to see more of these, and to give them a try myself.

Post by: Greendead on September 19, 2006, 07:18:45 AM: Oh sorry Kremlin. I just found out that junk cars are all same. Just your camera angle made it a little wierd
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Slim on September 19, 2006, 07:30:43 AM: Guys, shouldn't we make a catapult WR thread?
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 19, 2006, 07:37:53 AM: ^Maybe wait for my Catapulting rep in the Comm Vid? Ive kinda set a standard...nitzkit can back me up (and it kills the one you posted in both height and rotation)

Downloading !

uhum abit of copy cat with sigs

goodjob krem... i just tried it with *cough* modded* nrg*

doesnt this also mean u could do grenade boosting with a higher boost? but die?
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 20, 2006, 05:28:55 AM: The actual explosion has little effect on CJ, if you see Nucleardeaths stunt in Concept, however the control part is an issue obviously
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: VaNilla on September 20, 2006, 08:03:44 AM: Thanks for song kr3m
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Jamal on September 20, 2006, 06:30:50 PM: I can't d/l from rapidshare ever. Where exactly does the grenade need to go? I can't see it in Concept.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 20, 2006, 08:21:25 PM: The grenade goes anywhere close to the junk car. Basically where the grenade is will decide where the boost will catapult you.

Just throw some grenades around a car to get an idea of the effect then put a bike on to see how it goes then get involved

Also folks ive noticed the more you hold off getting on the bicycle the greater the effect the explosion will have: more height etc. But hold it off too late and it can spin too much and you wont get the grab
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: infested on September 21, 2006, 09:18:06 AM: This method is just way too cool dude ^^

*btw.. as I remember I inspired y00 to actually grab the bike when you showed me on msn, also tipped bout BMX... I know. I am a bit of a glory-whore*
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: arKy on September 21, 2006, 10:40:14 AM: My gOD! I love this method! awesome!!
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Torque on September 21, 2006, 07:38:58 PM: I NEVER check the SA section of GTAS and I was very impressed kremlin how you seem to go beyond the normal stunt methods, I loved every single bit of this. Great work.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Juan on September 21, 2006, 08:00:00 PM: Checking this method out, but i remember messing around with those junk cars was great.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on September 23, 2006, 02:06:19 AM: Thanks folks Good to see different kinds of stunters and members of GTAS enjoying this

Post by: BoBsaget on September 23, 2006, 03:00:12 AM: Man, I love this! This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while.

Post by: RAD on September 23, 2006, 03:28:36 AM: Great looking stunt d00d, and super creative as we've come to expect from you

Can you upload it to somewhere other than rapidshare when you have time? This sounds cool.
Please?

Post by: kr3mlin on October 24, 2006, 05:15:43 AM: ^Ok, ill work on a Filefactory link now

EDIT: http://www.filefactory.com/file/252137/ (http://www.filefactory.com/file/252137/) there ya go
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Ghost on October 24, 2006, 07:03:21 AM: thanks, now I can try this properly.
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Niall on November 07, 2006, 01:37:54 PM: Wow! That is crazy! I gotta test it out!
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: BujutzuStyle on November 13, 2006, 04:40:02 PM: anytime an grenade explosed near me (if i sit on the bike) i fell off from the bike....
and if iam on the junk car and do it exactly like in your video, i fell down and nothing happen...

but nice trick
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on November 13, 2006, 05:05:16 PM: If your on a bicycle when the explosion goes off you will fall off, try to be in the process of getting on the bicycle but not actually on it yet when the grenade goes off

Try that and let me know how it goes
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: BujutzuStyle on November 13, 2006, 06:39:07 PM: JEAH now work it !!! THX Kremlin
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on November 13, 2006, 06:49:23 PM: Happy to help out mate
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: Wanted on January 16, 2007, 03:15:49 AM: wouldnt work on VC by any chance, havnt seen the vid to get the whole idea of it coz the links r broken, maybe repost working links pl0x
Title: Catapulting!
Post by: kr3mlin on January 16, 2007, 06:32:24 AM: I have experimented with this idea in VC but is does not work. Look for the video called "Concept" in the SA unmodded videos section if you would like to see some examples. I also landed one in the SA community video Amped 2
