Well, I actually solved it by modifying it a little bit and adding the jetpack as a regular suit device, like sprint does. Now it's draining equally fast for everyone.

And when I say more slowly, I mean at least 5x as slow. The jetpack works as follows: In CGameMovement::FullWalkMove( ), I check if the jetpack is enabled, if it is, I call CGameMovement::ApplyJetpack( ) There, we have void CGameMovement::ApplyJetpack( void ) { #ifndef CLIENT_DLL CHL2MP_Player *tempHL2p = ToHL2MPPlayer(player); if (!tempHL2p) return; //boostType = tempHL2p->GetBoostType(); #endif #ifdef CLIENT_DLL C_HL2MP_Player *tempHL2p = ToHL2MPPlayer(player); if (!tempHL2p) return; #endif if (frameCount != gpGlobals->framecount) { frameCount = gpGlobals->framecount; if (!DrainSuit( JETPACK_DRAIN_RATE * gpGlobals->frametime )) { tempHL2p->JetpackEnabled = false; return; } } .. DrainSuit is a custom function (it's been a while since I implemented it but I think it was so the client can get updated on the current suit % immediately) bool CGameMovement::DrainSuit( float tempVal ) { #ifndef CLIENT_DLL CHL2_Player *pPlayer2 = static_cast<CHL2_Player *>( player ); if (pPlayer2->SuitPower_Drain( tempVal )) return true; else return false; #else if (ToHL2MPPlayer(player)->m_HL2Local.m_flSuitPower <= tempVal) return false; else return true; #endif return false; } Any ideas what could be causing this behavior? I suppose it's a networking issue, but I'm not sure what exactly it could be. Kind regards, Radimir
