Cray Airblast Mechanics in 5-6 Minutes

[@poytf]

"-Airblast hit detection for both players and projectiles is now a consistent cone" nice one valve

[@KenonArtulii]

I gotta applaud them though, the only wrong word there is cone. I'm not certain but fairly confident that the projectile hitbox is also the same as the player one, so I'd call it consistent.

[@Pogi820.]

I just can't express how helpful your video is. - Thank you very much!

[@tonyf3431]

seeing the Spy fly off sideways at 2:39 had me giggling like an idiot for a solid ten seconds

[@googlebleh]

idk about the rest of ya'll but I think I'd need the 40 minute version in order to understand it all or at least to watch this video 7 times before I get it

[@garbage_blob]

UnusualSandwich just quoted you in their video. Thanks for clearing things up about pyro airblast mechanics!

[@KenonArtulii]

No problem, glad it helped out! And thanks for telling me about their vid too, always enjoy seeing people put out good content like that :D

[@Myagic]

Underrated channel why have I not heard of you sooner smh.

0. player airblast and projectile airblast are not the same [this is important!] 1. airblast is a square hitbox, looking up can cause it to also tough players behind you 2. your horizontal crosshair position affects the airblast hitbox, but not the blasting trajectory. the target will fly away from you either way (if theyre in the hitbox ofc) 3. now, your vertical (up-down) crosshair position does change target trajectory as you'd expect. 4. if you aim down, the game will check if it's possible to push them there. If yes, the target will be either pushed down, or to the side. If no, possible it'll push them up. So if its a slope or it is stairs, they'll be pushed away from there. If they're on even ground they'll be pushed up. 5. your speed/velocity/momentum doesn't matter; but the speed/velocity/momentum of the target can affect the speed of the airblast. 4* that's a simplification of what he said. but basically that's what it is. be sure you understand everything here. then, you can proceeed to read a full explonation of the fourth point: **full**: when aiming downards, the game takes direction prependicular to that of their ground. so if it's an even floor, that would be up, if its a 45deg slope, then it would be diagonally away from the slope. that's it.

hey, i know this is old, but could you elaborate some stuff you've done with numbers? I know you said in your description that you have a lot of info on this and would gladly make a video on all that stuff

[@h4zle4]

I just noticed the pyro is just like accelerator except you cant deflect bullets :T

[@baxterspark5739]

all hail the cube -snek

[@Yetipfote]

man. FINALLY I got it.... somehow....

[@sylphianna]

It would be way easier to control if pushing people downwards was only possible if your damage or airblast was what put them in the air, because trying to launch someone upwards by looking downwards becomes inconsistent if the player is jumping and if they are near ground level it is my experience that it is easier to flick down rather than up to make someone go upwards, especially if they are on a slope coming up towards you

[@agentdelta569]

old video i know, but can i see your notes on this, because 6 minutes without any visual aids, isnt enough to understand what you mean here and i would love to understand how you managed to send the medic flying so far

[@Pogi820.]

Not sure if this is helpful now, but the medic push was accidental, he was probably having a command to increase airblast power and used it to demonstrate things like: 1) if the enemy is already moving horizontally fast and you airblast him from below, you wont stop him you'll only push him up and slow him slightly. If you want to really reverse his momentum you have to be more in front of him. 2) your own momentum doesnt affect airblast, if it did the medic would fly like in demonstration.

[@emilytheimp]

I thought they fixed the airblast hitboxes?

[@RadekOfBoktor]

you've been pranked lmao

[@moody-Bayonetta]

Thinking Pyro is ever going to make sense in current year LUL

[@sticklyboi]

>tf2 team >fixing things

[@timelessartist2237]

Ayo come back plz

[@cube2652]

Ayo. Just played a game with you. You should start uploading more you have a fun personality and could make it on yt

[@kwombat5306]

Sketchek would be proud of ya

[@frugoshoek2679]

He IS proud of sketchek

[@marekkumitsu6343]

nice
