Discussion

SabbathCat: I'm not entirely sure how useful this is, seeing how you can actually change the class from within Ued itself. Ah well, it does work though, with a UT_Jumper and a Kicker style PathNode setup (LiftExit > LiftCenter /UT_Jumper > LiftExit ), I've managed to get bots to pull of wall-slides, which was cool. :)!

SabbathCat: Yeah, just figured, the standard Jumper doesn't actually appear to let you choose the class you want it to make "jump". :( Good news then, this script DOES have a purpose. :)
