Pxtl 14 years ago Put a pit-bull on top of a high cliff. Watch it fire repeatedly at a target that is "in range" but it can't actually reach with its projectile. For the sake of functionality, Gauss weapons should just switch to being spherically targeted. +0 / -0
corgator 14 years ago Does this happen due to it's high speed? no arcing because of high speed? wow - this engine is really broken!!! +0 / -0
Saktoth 14 years ago It is because of noexplode, a noexplode projectile only terminates when it reaches its max range. Obviously the max range for the purposes of noexplode is being calculated differently than its actual range. +0 / -0
corgator 14 years ago +1 for spherical targeting. Gauss is fast enough that it can be sphere like. I would go so far to make gauss like heatrays - have a falloff rate and more range to compensate. +0 / -0
Pxtl 14 years ago Saktoth - out of curiosity, do noexplode weapons proceed through terrain, or is it only units/features that fail to stop them? +0 / -0
Anthem 14 years ago I'm fairly sure pyros can shoot things through steep cliffs as long as they're in range. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 14 years ago Shooting through terrain is not a feature of noexplode. It's a feature of collideGround = false. +0 / -0
Pxtl 14 years ago So do any zk weapons have groundcollide false? +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 14 years ago Yes, flamethrowers. +0 / -0
Pxtl 14 years ago ... I need to abuse pyros more. They eat factories and large units for breakfast and can jump out of nowhere, and now I find out they can shoot through walls. +0 / -0
corgator 14 years ago we could need some skirmies with warp cannons. warping projectiles. +0 / -0
