you cant i think, its not possible to make a direct airrocket on yourself in Quake 3, its not in Quake 4 either, which is kinda retarded when you can shoot through teleporters there :)
why wouldn't it be possible to make an airrocket on yourself? are you talking about an engine limitation or just the possibilities the maps provide? as hitting yourself with rockets surely has to work
Try getting 600 ups or whatever speed q4 rocks have and shoot some off. You can actually jump through them and its been like that in all quake engines. Dunno why.
the best place to test is on dm17 in quake 4 its easiest, to answer mantra in this comment as well, yes its a limitation on the engine, cause when you hit yourself you get less damage, than the opponent does, i imagine if the rockets had two sides this could be fixed but i figure its just one-sided projectile and the rule says you cannot hit yourself directly with it(only splash) so a direct hit will go right through you... Its stupid in Quake 4 though, plus my explanation sucks.
ix said it better:
[16:13] <@ix-ir> yes it's probably to do with when you fire it and preventing it going off in your face
Imagine flying full speed and shooting rockets and kill yourself, would suck right? :D
i think its like that in most games, i wonder if you can airrocket yourself in painkiller, atleast i know its impossible in ut2k4, and that goes for all projectile weapons in ut2k4, which kinda sucks, could create some very funny situations sometimes :D
emarrassingly bad post... the airrocket is not safely such... and if it was it's still not better than the 10th best airrocket i'Ve seen or shot myself so far
LOL
