counting the distance needed for jump limited

I know it was here, but didn't totally get what they solved, so again.

You are jumping from one spot to other which is higher, how would you count the distance you minimally need to jump to get to the spot?

Please someone totally explain, like for the stupidiest person in the world.

Thanks in advance!

I think everyone tries to calculate the "hipotenusa" (dont know the word in english, but is the diagonal of the square)
but I always try to calculate a lj something like that

I am not really right, but can be a good way ;)

it's much more harder cause you cant get that "hipotenusa" or hypotenuse equal to your jump trajectory, so you need to calculate extra distance

I can tell you, it's not possible. You can only roughly estimate the "difficulty" which varies for different strafe sizes and therefore the estimation wouldn't be accurate. Why do you want to compare a jump with height difference to a longjump anyway?

If you anyway want to try to roughly estimate the jump, you have to calculate the airtime and multiply it with the average airtime (not maxspeed obviously) and add 32 units I think.

n00bkill3r the thing is, as Flibo said, that you can't. You need different strafes depending on how much higher and far away the landing point is. For example, if it's pretty close but also pretty high you maybe need like 3 big strafes to make you gain as much speed as possible in such short time, but then if that would've been a normal lj you wouldn't get far at all. Just as you can't estimate how much a weaponjump would've been if you used knife instead, etc.
