10 years, still can't figure out how Skyhammer jump pads work

[gerberlyfe.9736]

I jump on them and 50% of the time I do a front flip without launching. How the heeck do these things even work? Any tips?

I used to do this, it can bug out by tapping jump a second time when you land on the pad. You're supposed to just jump onto it, then let it bounce you up. Don't press jump twice.

unfortunately they're very ping dependant. they work at about 100ms or lower but past that you're lucky to even move. this is because movement tracking is performed client-side and not server-side, so if your client can't communicate to the server perfectly due to low framerate or high ping, you should just remove any movement skills from your build and avoid any launching/tethering/etc. mechanics.

I know of that bug and it only happens if you press spacebar while landing on the launchpad. You need to press spacebar, jump on the launchpad and not press spacebar again in order for the bug not to happen
