The Trampoline will increase the players Z velocity each time it is hit, up until the point where the bot/player achives the speed determined by the MaxVelocity default property.

Using the Trampoline

Place somewhere with plenty of headroom, perhaps at the botom of a well, with a useful pick-up. Who knows?

• Pathing Kickers has more on using kickers

Properties

These are the properties and their default values:

KickMeSound = Sound

Is the Sound made when the Trampoline is triggered.
