Title: Hitscan weapons
Post by: BALROG on August 10, 2006, 01:35:19 pm
I think there should be a hitscan weapon for humans so tht they dont have to  lead a shot. Makes life easier i think.

for those who dont know what a hitscan weapon is click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitscan

Yes, there IS lag. Yours and your victim's.

The weapons we have are fine enough.

Not only that, it makes it also harder to code an aimbot if oyu don't have insta-hit .)

lmfao. Just a tip, you should probably read that wikipedia article yourself, before you come here and post it as though we'd have no idea what "hitscan" is.

Just like the first poster said, there's the rifle, lasgun, shotgun, massdriver, even the painsaw is hitscan technically.

There are three possibilities here:
1. You haven't actually played Tremulous yet
2. You aren't aware of what hitscan means
3. You have extremely high ping, so high that even hitscan weapons don't seem hitscan to you


Oh, and Juno, that could be two things. I'm no expert on the lasgun, but there might be a slight delay after you click the trigger before it actually starts firing. But most likely it's just due to latency, and having to lead players because of slight lag.

No see i meant long range hitscan somehting that you can use to hit somehting far away really fast.  or somehting of the sort

About the lag i think that might be a contributing factor

Yes, its called the mass driver. You are indeed a sub-intelligent being.

Alright, so he's making a bit of an ass of himself =( his heart's in the right place.

Maybe he means a scoped weapon..

You mean, like the mass driver maybe ? Using the zoom key would indeed show you it's a scoped weapon too ( the zoom key only works with the mass driver )

Yep, and it affectes everybody. Not later than today, I've followed as a dretch a fleeing human for a looong distance, bumped on his ass quite a few times and yet I still could not damage him once.

A sniper rifle with a zooming sight? Hmm, that would encourage turret-camping en masse.

I know what Tremulous should have... a monocle. It would replace a weapon, so that you can scope your enemies... and... and... erm, stare?  :roll:

teh gAme does need teh hitscan weppons.  Teh other day, I tried to shoot a drench, but i missed becuz teh bullets are to slow.

also, teh aleins need to be nerfed.  tyrants r to hard to kill n i think there helth should be lowerd.

also, teh alins need a flying bug so its more fare.

also, i thik teh game needs a quad damge rune.  that wood be fun

Like I said a while back, Tremulous needs Antilag.
