Lucifer Cannon shoots through aliens!
« on: November 24, 2007, 09:08:32 am »
Is this intentional? I've seen a tyrant run right through a fully charged Lucifer blast, and shred me in a single hit, as I watched the Lucifer blast travel about 100 yards way behind him. It just went through him and did no damage at all. I understand how splash damage works, but shouldn't there be a direct hit damage as well?

Lag.  According to your computer, you shot him... but the server didn't get the message in time.  That's my bet.  What's your ping normally?

You either lagged when you died, or he hit you then quickly moved out of the way.

I have a ping of 50 or so, but there are always guys with 200+ ping on, usually on the aliens. Aliens seem to LOVE the lag, since it makes them impossible to hit.  >:( The thing is, I swear I've fired through an egg before, and saw the blast's splash do slight damage to it, but no direct damage. The gun just feels buggy. It doesn't feel natural the way the BFG9000 does.  ;D

If you ARE playing on a server with Unlagged, /setu cg_projectileNudge 1 for more accurate display of non-hitscan projectiles on your screen.

Firing through an egg is probably that you don't know the bbox. Eggs' bounding box is at the very bottom only. Any weapon will fire through the top without damage. Aim at the base of eggs.

the egg model is very misleading due to the fact that you have to spawn from it
the actual hitbox is at the bottom (not the bulgy part)

yep it's lag. also it's the typically the epicenter of the lucifer blast is what directly contacts a foe.
also it was probably the lag if the burst was going to hit the tyrant.
