Projectile's starting Force

['LinKin]

Hello,

createProjectile() 

The starting Force.. a float between what?

I tested setting it to 1 and then to 900 and it was pretty the same. Even put 0 and it was the same

What is it exactly?

Thanks.

I would assume force only applies to some projectiles, such as grenades and molotovs. Have you tried it with those?

Ahhh, no I've not tried but I think you're right!

Do you know which is the interval of that number?

Maybe 0 < x < 1 ..?

You are totally right:

//from CPacketHandler.cpp 
switch ( weaponType ) 
    { 
        case WEAPONTYPE_GRENADE: 
        case WEAPONTYPE_TEARGAS: 
        case WEAPONTYPE_MOLOTOV: 
        case WEAPONTYPE_REMOTE_SATCHEL_CHARGE: 
        { 
            // Read the force 
            SFloatSync < 7, 17 > projectileForce; 
            if ( !bitStream.Read ( &projectileForce ) ) 
                return; 
            fForce = projectileForce.data.fValue; 
  
            // Read the velocity 
            if ( !bitStream.Read ( &velocity ) ) 
                return; 
            pvecVelocity = &( velocity.data.vecVelocity ); 
            bCreateProjectile = true; 
  
            break; 
        } 
        //truncated code 
}

No more like 0 <= x <= 127 if I'm right (2^7 - 1)

EDIT: Wiki page updated (hope it won't get reverted for some reason) => createProjectile

Thanks.

What has updated in the Wiki page? I cannot notice

Nice nice.

Thank you.

Nice nice.

Thank you.

No problem, thank you for pointing this lack of precision on this argument out.

Sorry for digging this out, but I still don't know what force is going to do?

I can create a grenade with velocity XYZ and that should be the force. Or is simply VelX, VelY, VelZ multiplied with force? (Like VelX*Force = real velocity?)
