This problem may have been resolved some time in the past i dont know, but the problem i have is right now. lol.
Im trying to create a world-like map thats dynamic with atmospheric effects and planet-like feel to it. (Part of my and FuryThors evil plan to revamp red faction) 
But, my problem is, how would i make gravity on a brush (sphere) so the player sticks to it? |

Id say use a grounded push region... |

 Ok... i made 1 push region, size=500(size of world) strength=100, grounded selected.
Still falling off.

Nice I can't wait what we can create

I don't think that to be possible because RF makes gravity allways downards, not toward some point on plane(center of spehre in this case).
However who says that we have to follow laws of real world physics  ? I suggest we are creative (Look PM for details) |

that is an idea i came up with along time ago to have directional gravity  ... but i have a feeling that its beyond RF's ability, probably beyond every game engines ability  |

How about just putting a climbing region around the sphere , so you basically climb up and down the sphere. Just a thought!  |

I would suggest you put an invisible face under your brush, just 2 meters below, on which you can walk. This gives a nice feeling to the player even when he´s still with his head towards top.
But might look silly to the others to watch
I did it once by accident and so
I was walking under the roof of a room without knowing what happened first -
and I really liked the feeling -
especially because the room was made out of a lot of mirrored brushes, so you could never say where u are. |

Nope, Unreal Engine 2 supports independent directional gravity as well as independent player orientations. Meaning each player can be oriented differently and be pulled toward a different plane. There are a few released mutators that accomplish this. I suggest you look into it, it's quite neat. |

The Prey (doom 3) engine is capable of independent gravity too. I played the demo.. it was pretty cool. |

Of course without push regions - but as long as they would be grounded it could work as well... |

What RF really needs is pull regions... I wonder... Would a sphere-shaped push region with a negative value act as independent gravity? It's worth a try, isn't it. |

Sadly, no luck. I tried quite a few combinations of property flags to no success. Perhaps there is a way, but not with a push region alone. |

On quick test I could not get it to work...
Anyway if we would want to simulate our planet we must remember that it's radius is 6370 kilometers, so making earth even 1:1000 scale would take a great deal of time to process, so ... |
