How does start transforming throttle work?

Workshop Discussion

It feels very awkward to use. How does it work?

Also, I remember somehow getting move speed to go faster, but is separate from the set move speed action. Is there something that can do that?

It‘s mostly used when you want to force a player to move in a certain velocity (speed/direction). You could set strafing abilities this way, as well as a movement ability (one that forces forward movement and limits or restricts side/backward mobility) like Reinhardt‘s charge or D’va’s boosters.

Set movement speed is best for overall movement, but throttle is used for specific mechanic restrictions for that faster movement.

For example; if you wanted Soldier to have a sideways strafe while firing, you could set movement speed 130%, but limit forward/backward movement to 76.923% and permit 100% left/right“ while using primary fire. Then make sure you have a rule for undoing those changes such as „set movement speed 100% and throttle max speed to 100% in all directions“ when not firing primary. This would allow him to strafe faster, while not giving him faster forward/backward momentum. And the second rule returns him to regular movement mechanics when not using his gun.

I meant another way to get movement speed up without using movement speed (Lke 170%*1.2), I didn’t mean getting specific movement to be faster.

Oh. Set Movement Speed is the only way I know of in workshop code. You can also adjust the slider from the custom game‘s Hero Menu.

Is there a reason you‘re looking for another way to adjust the movement speed without that specific command for setting movement speed?

(For 170%*1.2, you‘d want to just use the multiply command when it asks for a number. So Set Movement Speed [multiply (170, 1.2)] )

I want to stack movement speeds without using variables or anything like that, but set movement speed sets it, but it does not modify it using existing values without things like variables or things that use game memories.

Start Transforming Throttle example that I probably spent too much time on:

what map am i supposed to use? iim on busan and all i can see is out in the middle of nowhere

EDIT: it works on hollywood
and wow this is a really great demonstration about how it works, showing that you can make W actually make the character go backwards. Thanks!
