bouncing bullets of red fiyah mad:
 

right atm im making a mod that lets the springfeild shoot bullets that ricochet about the place until they kill someone or slow to a stop. to balance this they leave bigass red trails making it impossible to hide. run into truoble though. the bullets seem to be drawn towards certain points in the map, making it ridiculously impossible to hit anything other than at point blank, anyone got any dieas how to remedy this?

How did you make the bullets into red balls?

hehe thats my secret; although im an egotistical git...basically a mix of tiki splicing and shader effects.

Argh, I wish I knew how. Tracer bullets are so cool.

Tracert bullets in MP.....in don t believe...if i don t see it !

arg tis not tracers, that would violate game hardcode and would thus be impossible. these effects look like a railgun and they bounce off of solid objects, ie walls and floor. they stop if they hit a body and they smash windows, they also slow down and stop then disappear. only thing is they allways shoot in the same three places in a level no matter where you aim, if you aim left they end up flying to the far top left corner of the level box and a similar thing happens on the right. anyone knows WHY this happens tell me please, its weird and freaky and pissing me off.

Can ya post a screenie of your bullet in action?

ok here come the screenies, sorry about the quality guys but im a poor little modem bitch and i cant upload high quality jpegs of this size. anyway you can see how the bullets are bouncing and how they leave trails, you can also see how far off from where you aim they are. this also affects the AI's its not just some buggerup for the player.

come on ffs, someone has to be able to know why this side effect is happening, i really dont want to drag my ass all the way over to the mod theatre and ask this question and no one'll answer on mpc, anyone know any other decent forums???

uhm, come on back over bud. s7atic made a hack that shows where everyone aims, and im sure he could give ya a hand with this. so just make a post and even ill give it a go. :)
