Well imo your better off with hurtme -150 bound to a key. This way you’ll learn about conserving your health and wont just jump everywhere and waste health. And another tip if you jump alot is keep an eye on your ammo.

pff, just write a ‘script’ which updates your health && ammo once an awhile.

You can increase/decrease the wait time ofc, so you’ll still be able to see the amount of damage you did to yourself, and there will be no need to press any additional keys during the rj.

If you haven’t already, craft the gun boats. Learning to rj with them will be much quicker.

Assuming you have the basics down I recommend you check out HonorableJay’s tutorials:

1. Imo yes, fail jumps are less likely then. And I want to be sure I jump ok on critical moments
2. Your choise, I’m using a normal jump script
3. Doenst matter, only helps a bit on flick jumps, but you generally dont use them on comp play, except with jumpboots. Makes you a smaller target though.
4. Just play in normal maps. You can jump everywhere, so why not get the feel on a normal map where you can use it later on :)

Good luck jumping :-)

You should always crouch when rocket jumping, makes you a smaller target and improves air control. If you need to get up somewhere that doesn’t require holding crouch, do it anyway and adjust the angle of your jump, less damage taken.

hi , im playing the game for 2 years and during this time period i’ve always used rj script.now , some ppl told me that it’s a bad idea.now here is my questions.

1)should i use rj script?

2)how about crouchjump script ?

3)should i crouch in the air during rj?

4)how can i train myself?

thanks..

1. Yes, got mine bound to mouse2, which works for when a scout surprises me a close combat I hit mouse2 instead of mouse1 to avoid the ridicious self-damage. Mouse2 is by far the best button to assign the rj script to.

2. Yes, makes you a smaller, harder to hit target. Makes it easier to move around the map especially on like badlands middle when you wanna get on those trains quickly. Only downside is that you can be blasted away if you’re hit with a good amount of damage, but that also can work in your favor sometimes.

3. I think I only crouch when I’m about to skip-rj (powerslide), I try and focus instead on airstrafing. Most soldiers here don’t actually move much at all – I always try and move first in one direction then strafe in the other direction when I see the enemy is about to fire – using the mouse to make the movements more unpredictable

I use all of these rjs even without gunboats – some are hard, but for example the canyon to window jump on badlands is hilarious and worth practising. In any FPS game getting behind the enemy is win, finding RJs to help you do this and then have the balls to actually attempt them in games is probably the only fun thing left about soldier.

1. No, definitely not. Not one that makes you turn or any crap like that because it messes with trajectory etc so its pointless.

2. I personally do and find it very very useful but ive used it for like a year so im really used to it, alot of rocket jumps (mainly on bball etc) dont need you to crouch so it can sometimes be a problem having a crouch script but its possible to compensate with trajectory.

3. Really upto you, it doesnt make that big a difference to me personally but i think i do it anyway, feel a lil epic’er when flying through the air :D

4. Jump maps (jump_pagoda ftw), bball (beast for practising low rjs and fast jumps), matches (youll notice 90% of jumps from jump maps / bball are useless because you dont wanna take fall damage in a match but in a jump map it doesnt make a difference, jump maps are mostly just for getting used to where to aim etc), rollout practise on a local host (great for getting you lines right etc when waiting for a mix or what not)

Mainly just enjoy rocket jumping, if you find you enjoy doing it do jump maps and try and find new interesting ways and places to jump on the maps you like the most. If you enjoy it it wont feel like practise at all.

Just my 2p

EDIT: Im not exactly a “pro” but no one is in TF2 :P.
