bind an origin brush to the players feet.
on the trampoline set the origin brush at the players feet, and use waypoints to set the player in motion higher.

How would I bind the origin brush to the players feet? Also what would I need for the scripting part of this?

Trigger_push

I have never seen that "ball" map, but you could use a trigger_push. You might what to turn down the speed. "speed" indicates the rate that entities are pushed (default 1000).

A trigger push? How exactly would I set that up so it works?
trigger

Make a brush with trigger texture and place it over your tramp. Then highlight it and hit key N. Double click on "trigger_push" and then add key/values.
Key: angle
Value: -1
Key: speed
Value: 256
You can also add a script_origin above the trigger to act as a target for it. Name it "tramp_origin", for example.
Key: target
Value: tramp_origin
It also, wouldn't hurt to place player clip around the sides (about 128 up off the tram), so players stay on top.

Hey thanks, but one more question. Is there any certain line I would need to add to my script to make the trampoline work?
nope

Nope, the trigger is on all the time--unless you turn it off in the script.
$my_tramp_trigger nottriggerable // turns it off
$my_tramp_trigger triggerable // turns it back on
It would need a targetname for that.
Reread my last post, I added something about clip brushes.

u can set the trigger_push nottriggerable by a trigger_multiple where the player has to walk to reach the trampoline and reactivate it by a trigger_multiple above the trigger_push which the player would reach just when he jumps. So he would start to jump only when he wants to.
Or even do more than one trigger_multiple to give the trigger_push an increasing speed with which he would reach the next trigger_multiple in each jump.
