I think they're multiplied by the intented velocity to give the limits, so that the speed could be fine-tuned without constantly changing the thresholds.
Yeah - here is my understanding, by way of an example:
Player Velocity = 1000
Lower Threshold = 0.1
Upper Threshold = 0.2
Lower Threshold
0.1 x 1000 = 100 - this is the allowed deviation below the intended velocity.
Upper Threshold
0.2 x 1000 = 200 - this is the allowed deviation above the intended velocity.
Therefore, if the Player's speed is between 900 and 1200, the trigger will activate and correct their speed to 1000; nothing will happen if player speed is outside of this range.

Thank you. Do you know the answer to my other question? (displaying the player speed) I think I saw that being done before, but I can't find the console command..
I have no idea, sorry. I suppose you could turn on dev mode and bind a key to ent_fire !player RunScriptCode "printl('PLAYER SPEED: '+sqrt(self.GetVelocity().x*self.GetVelocity().x + self.GetVelocity().y*self.GetVelocity().y + self.GetVelocity().z*self.GetVelocity().z);" if you wanted, but I'm sure there's a better method.
I've actually noticed that if a catapult fails to catapult a player, it'll spit out into the dev console something like "Player speed is <speed>, needs to be <min> - <max>". If it suceeds, it'll say something like "Player speed is <speed>, correcting to <speeed>". It will also say something like "Need more speed" if you haven't given it enough speed to sucessfully pull off a fling.

This is correct, but for general clarity and summarisation, the values are decimal percentages of the player velocity. As such:
0.1 = 10%
0.2 = 20%
and so on.
