Infected Slaughter: Grab a friend, B5_01 is on it's way!

[SkeleDude]

I want to convert to hit scan, how do I make my bullets hitscan.

[NAGN]

Basically you send out infident rays (like the sniper rifle) and just draw some random lines to resemble bullets (randomized obviously)

while syncing it you'd need to just sync the angle you're aiming at and your xy positions

making it hitscan still has issues in terms of latency, as with high latency your bullets might toally miss all the zombies but actually hit or vice versa but it also allows lag compensation more easy in the future, and this issue exists with projectile based weapons except even worse

uhm I think most people know by now that projectiles aren't synced in like any game ever (Even tf2)

I didn't know this. This is why I need a good beginners networking tutorial.

[SkeleDude]

I have no concerns for mutiplayer, I just want to know how to code a collision line from the player's direction to hit the first object it meets and if it's a zombie ,subtract its health.

check out the sniper hitscan code from the gg2 source in user defined 1 of the rifle weapon

This is helping significantly. NAGN is credit to team.

So, skele, you like my description better? I mean, you haven't changed it back.

Hi.

[SkeleDude]

So yea there wont be another update till late February to early March due to school stuff 

Hey guys, I actually made a build quite some time ago but never released it for some reason, so here you og <3

[Dusty]

here you og

Anyways, this is gonna be weirdish for me, as I am more or less skele's code bitch.

A few comments and glitches in the build:

Grenades don't currently work.

Darkness mode is quite nice, was exactly what I was aiming for with one of the Soviet undead builds, but just didn't pan out with such a laggy extension I used.

3D motion isn't mapped relative to current aim position, so pressing W doesn't mean you're walking forward, it means you are walking in the positive y direction, regardless of aiming direction.

Updated code might be added to soviet undead as well, have to keep pace with times.

Also, what was player john?

[SkeleDude]

I should have mentioned I never actually finished that build.

Grenades are incomplete, but they would work as they did in the b2 series.
Level "Chambers" was given a complete overhaul, introducing a flashlight and more chambers.
The blank level was just me screwing around with 3d, but I never managed to figure out how make it work properly.
From what I call I mostly just added more comments into the code with a few clean ups here and there, you won't get caught on walls anymore I think.
John is the default and currently only playable character.

[Machidro]

I still think 3D is cool and if possible should be added simply, if you still care.

That's what I mean, collision code appears to be better, I went out of my way to attempt to get myself lodged in things, didn't succeed.

[Dusty]

Game maker 3D just isn't worth it in my opinion.
