Post Gravity Crawling - A new Flying Technique
As it appears DRL has a severe "Awesome Trick" deficiency.
So here are some moves to get you on the right track.

It started like this. An awesome land shark that glides over the ground.*
*In actual game-play it looks like he is swimming on the ground at hyper speed.
I just didn't get good gifs.

And turned into this

Random crawl paths open up many possibilities.

That wasn't a jetpack. All it was, was ".", "->", and the crawlpaths.

You wondered how the gravity thing pushed the guy over to start crawling.
And then you tried editing the Crawl paths. No luck.

Even if you didn't, here is the code.

Code:
   CrawlLimbPath = LimbPath
      InstanceName = Soldier Heavy Crawl Path
      StartOffset = Vector
         X = -220
         Y = -80
      StartSegCount = 20
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 220
         Y = 0
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 60
         Y = 40
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 0
         Y = 60
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 0
         Y = 200
      SlowTravelSpeed = 10.5
      NormalTravelSpeed = 10.8
      FastTravelSpeed = 40.5
      PushForce = 800000
   ArmCrawlLimbPath = LimbPath
      InstanceName = Soldier Heavy Arm Crawl Path
      StartOffset = Vector
         X = -20
         Y = -10
      StartSegCount = 20
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 0
         Y = -80
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 60
         Y = -60
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 80
         Y = 0
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 80
         Y = 80
      AddSegment = Vector
         X = 0
         Y = 200
      SlowTravelSpeed = 10.5
      NormalTravelSpeed = 10.5
      FastTravelSpeed = 40.5
      PushForce = 60000


Discuss.

That's incredibly awesome, zalo. One small step for man, one giant flying leap for clones.

Some pretty smexy gifs, zalo.

I've always thought of being able to use the jetpack as an extra weapon, and this would be able to do it easy. The obvious disadvantange, though is the inability to crouch. I've also always wondered if you could use limbpaths to do awexome martial arts moves, would that be possible?

I haven't been able to get the clones to do a flip yet, if thats what you mean.

I HAVE been able to get them to lunge, as seen in the sand scene of the first gif.

Oh, I see whats going on here. When you make the crawlpath parts far away from the actor, their invisible hand and feet atomgroups extend out that far.

Looks kinda fun though.

I copy/pasted it into Tech.ini, corrected the tabbing, and get an error on line 242, the NormalTravelSpeed.
Looks awesome... wish it'd work.

Given enough time you can vaporize a base with this, it is rather creepy.
Very nice Find Zalo!

In the walkpaths at the far bottom of the Soldiers.ini in the coalition folder. In the actors folder. In the Base.rte.

Post Re: Gravity Crawling - A new Flying Technique
it didn't work... when i copy pasted over it, the tabbing got screwed. So i tried manually entering it all. That didn't work either... can someone upload an rte? Maybe do it with the light soldier template...

Yes, please, someone upload a .rte. For one thing, not everyone wants to change their base.rte.
