Yes! that would actually be amazing.
Although what people are going to say is,
"Jedi don't levitate when they meditate"
Me i personally think it should just become a secondary form of meditation positions.
I mean we have Lotus which is good but imagine Floating in the air, thats kinda cool.
But another problem would be the animation... I mean i have see a levitation command in JK2 but it only holds you in the air for about 5 seconds then it is done. So we would have to find some way to get the animation, which might not be to hard.
But all in all i think thats a good idea.

An example would be for a player to jump into a circle of NPCs and use the ability, sending everyone within the circle away from the player, rather than the ones straight infront.
...Isn't that already Push 4 and 5?
As i understand it, force push 4-5 still only pushes things in direct sight. ie, infront of you. What vantus is suggeesting is that npcs in a full 360 around you would be pushed.

I think thats a good top-end level idea. keep the range short and the FP high.

Yeah exactly.

Force push 4-5 from my knowledge still deals with "cone of vision" aiming. Meaning it only works on people infront of you.
Right now If I stand BEHIND somebody when they use push 5, I won't be budged.

IF this was possible, it would be better to treat it as a seperate ability, so that people can still have a high level push skill without it changing to this new ability later on.

When I followed Corinth up the stairs during the mission I was standing a few feet behind him when he used force push which sent me flying into the wall behind me.
Say again: He was facing forward, and I was BEHIND him. So it must already do it at 360'

As for levitating during meditation, meh. No need for it really. I'd like to see a Handstand emote though, that'd be cool, maybe work out a way to time it for so long so we don't have hopefuls holding a handstand for 6 hours.

Push 4 and 5 do a 360. Ask Ergo. We tested it out in the training room with a bunch of kyles around him and he pushed forward and all of them flew to each corner of the room. So the 360 idea Vantus had has already been implemented into the mod. :D

Ah okay then! I guess i've just never seen it! Not many people must have push up to the top, or they toggle it down for simplicity.

Well that's great, something for me to look forward to! :D

Now I cannot wait until Push 4/5. I can imagine things flying around already.
