Out of synch stuff

[Scar]

I know it has been said that certain out of synch things will be fixed, like drive by shooting etc..

Just some things I wanted to ask:

In single player you can shoot a driver of a veichle through the windows. Door, windscreen and the backwindow.

In this and any other current versions you couldn't.. Will this ever be fixed?

Also, about the sniper rifle.

I don't think there is an animation for aiming a sniper rifle at something/someone.

If anybody has ever seen in a replay, or anything, Tommy aiming a sniper when hes in the scope.. Cos I havn't.

Which means this will look a bit odd in Blue when people are shooting you with a sniper standing still looking normal.. Just holding the rifle.

I think I know what you mean. The animation wasn't meant to be made because you would nrver see it. I think in the cannon fodder mission for umberto, there was a sniper standing still shooting cubans.

EDIT: I have tested this in single player using cam hack and replay. I used the sniper rifle and he was not moving or he was spinning, so there is no animation.

I guess we have to live with it, or the MTA team will include an animation or get someone to make on... but I think they won't.

There are more inportants matters to settle

i think they would probably end up using the animations for the m4, as it would fit well.

[l2ebel]

umm i think they can use an existing rifle anim, or how would they fix the rocket launcher? (your player gets invisible when you aim)

[Slothman]

thats what i just said rebel:P

yeah, the rocket launcher might not look right.

[l2ebel]

gah stop posting at the same time

Is that because it's not synced or due to lag / lack of smoothness?

[Scar]

Well no.. You just can't shoot an enemy player through a window.

So I guess it's not synched.

[MrJax]

It's not synced, because height (shooting/aiming) isn't synced properly in this core .

If theres nothing infront of the shot, it will go straight forward on everyone elses screen no matter where you aim...

If there is something there, it will hit the lowest object (why ppl stand on cars and shoot)

[Scar]

Yeh, but I'm on about if you actually shoot windows in the game.. You just get a bounce off bullet affect when the window is smashed.. Like you do on a wall.

So you can't shoot through windows to hit the driver/passenger.

[Slothman]

if you notice in single player, you could takea drivers head off through a windsheild. this isnt possible in mta, who kmows if they add it or not.

[Scar]

^ Yeh, that's what I meant.

what i am really interseted in is will the sniper rifle laser be synced. this wud be awsome, and allow a huge weakness to the sniper rifle that wud make things much better balanced. i dont think this is possible...but if it is...awsome

I don't get why people don't think this is possible.

I would like an explanation to the supposed 'impossible' concept as seen in the video above.

Right before you is 100% proof that laser snipers would work.

[njr1489]

Very nice jacob. Is this from mta synced?

[Slothman]

we arent talking about the gun, we know that would work. the talk is about the red dot from the laser being synced.

I'm sure it's technically possible, but I seem to recall from previous discussions that some people had concerns about them affecting gameplay (although I can't remember specifically what their concerns were).

Really?

And those are just in this topic alone. It seems, due to the replay bug, that a large amount of people have been brainwashed with the false rumour that there "is no animation".

News flash fellas. Any animation that can be applied to the player can be applied to an actor with half-decent memory hacking.

Hell, that video wasn't even memory hacking - strictly SCM.

[Luigi]

Jacob there is an easier method.

Edit the animation in the weapon.dat from unarmed to rifle

I think the reason you cant and i expect wont be able to shoot people through car windows it that when you are in a car you are invincible, so even if other players should be able to kill you through the windows, you souldnt be able to die through the windows. you get what i mean

[l2ebel]

i think the reason also releates to the fact that this feature only applies to actors, as player you cant get shot through a window afaik
