Hi, I did a search and found out about how to change the accuracy of a gun, but when I open the gunspec for most guns, I can't find a place where it says "range". I am trying to make a sniper rifle shoot further.

Where would I insert range = ____
(what line of the gunspec?)

and what are the range options....meaning 0-100 or whatever. What number is standard and what number makes the gun shoot further?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I just noticed in the gunspec of the sniper rifle two lines:

zoommode = 1
and
zoomaccuracy = 8

Is it the zoomaccuracy I should change? If so, should I go down or up in number for it to be able to shoot an enemy who is further away?

Thanks

Options can be placed anywhere you like in a gunspec, but I like to keep things clean in my gunspecs so I always keep the options grouped together in "like" categories.

Range will specify how many units the gun should shoot forward. 100 units would be 1 segment forward... so to shoot 20 segments forward would be a range of 2000.


"Zoomaccuracy" is the accuracy your gun will have while it is zoomed in (looking through the scope).
If memory serves correctly, lower accuracy values mean better accuracy. So, a value of 0 for accuracy would mean, it always hits dead center of your crosshair.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.

I changed the accuracy to 0 and the zoomaccuracy to 0 and it still seems to take 3 shots from about 8 "squares" away from an enemy with 100 health to kill them with the sniper rifle (model pack 10).

By the way is there a damage limit? The damage was preset at 200. I changed it to 400 but it didn't seem to do much. Is 200 the max?

My goal is to make it that if the player zooms in on an enemy with the sniper rifle, it will only take one hit to kill them...

Thank!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FPSC decrease the damage bullets do at a longer range?

Are you using the headshots feature for the appear script? (appearwithheadshot.fpi)
That is the easiest way to get one shot kills.

There is a way to adjust the height of the headshots, but I forget what the command is...somebody help refresh my memory because I can't find it searching.

I thought of the headshot script, but my game is nearly complete and I have waaaaay too many enemies (scattered between many, many levels) to have to change them all...

Thanks though for the help

Then just add the headshot command to normal appear script.
Or you could just change the name of the headshot script to the same name as the other appear.
That way all the characters using that old appear script would be updated without changing their properties.
