Hey James, Could you increase the "projectileMoveStep=10" to "projectileMoveStep=20"? Then you would have more control over projectile speeds, and rpgs or whatever would be faster. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

Even though its currenlty specified globally in "base\game.ini" I plan to make this variable for each projectile. Edited: 17 July 2004 22:56 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

That sounds cool, but 1 problem. If a rocket has a step of 30 it will pass over a solid wall that is 25 wide. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

The short answer is yes but it depends on the rocket's rotation. There are no plans for a seperate line of sight scan, basically its a performace trade off. In M1 this worked well as all walls were at least 16 thick, the recommended move step in M2 will be far less but walls may need a minimum thickness to work properly.

Yes but remember that you will need to consider the following: 1) Where you fire it from (your coords may not divide into the wall start if you see what I mean). 2) If a projectile is rotated diagonally it will be bigger (it uses bounding box collision detection). 3) The size of the projectile genrally. If a long laser projectile (say 50 pixels) moves 10 pixels at a time it will never pass through anything. James. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
