Title: (Medium Bugs) Railgun type weapons
Post by: APCs r evil on July 17, 2004, 04:51:19 PM
First of all by Railgun I mean that the ordinance passes through objects.

One bug is that the weapon can't pass through buildings. The other bug is that sometimes for a reason that I can't figure out, the weapon fires normally but the range varies from about half the normal range to almost 0 range.

I'd think of that as a major bug.

A) This belongs in Natty's part of the board.

B) I don't think that ordinace passing through buildings is possible in the engine without some serious work on the part of Ken (won't happen).

C) It's a chargeRate weapon. The longer you hold the trigger, the more range/power it will have.

No no no, not that G66 Railgun. I was just using railgun as a way to describe MY weapon, not Natty's :mrgreen: Oh and it worked fine in 1.2.

Well, you didn't specify that you made this weapon your having problems with. :p

It might have something to do with the collision code. You might want to poke through the change log to see if something was changed that might be affecting your weapon.

Well that sounds... like.. fun, yes FUN that's it. I don't suppose there is any sort of filing system to that.

Don't be lazy, go and get poking, or don't bother *working* in your job as a *tester* of this beta.
