Im working on using fpsc for a side scrolling shooter like r type, i got everything sorted and working except the goddamn bazooka

since teh other weapons dont seem to deal damage entity on entity, im using projectile weapons, but when the entity is above the players level the shots angle downwards, when below the player they angle upwards! they only fly horizontal on the same level, i checked the gunspec and the launch.fpi to see if theres a solution to this, any ideas?

if i cant get the rounds to fly horizontal its dead in the water as a concept...

I didnt think of the m79 before i posted the thread or i wouldnt have done did you fail to notice 6 hours passed between my posts? 6 hours of me sitting here wrestling with fpsc trying to get something that would work, so if someone had gave me a suggestion within that 6 hours you wouldnt be calling it pointless would you?

And additionally it doesnt mean someone cant still offer a solution to using the bazooka, so how is it pointless?

If you have nothing constructive to say, then dont say anything.

You spent six hours trying to fix this? Wow.

You should've tried all flak weapons before posting this, mate.

That's true Private and Ocho Geek - I thought that was a rule of the board now. And still doesn't solve his bazooka problem.

By the way, I'm aware of the irony of me posting a non-constructive post in order to decry yours, so don't bother pointing that out.

lol, epic, wtf, omg, rofl, all your base are belong to us

There's something in the code that causes the AI to cheat their point of aim up or down depending on player height. This happens even if they are not aiming at you.

For example, I have a script where the AI just shoots straight ahead so that I can take screenshots with weapons in their hands. However, if I crouch they will shoot lower and hit the ground, hurting themselves with splash damage.

So, I'm not really sure if you will be able to get 100% horizontal shots.

BTW, you need to set flak arcing behavior in the flakspec, not the gunspec or AI script.

@ EAI: Whenever I was above the enemy, they didn't point their guns up at me. They just point straight ahead while shooting.

They don't change where they are pointing animation-wise. However, the flak trajectory is slightly cheated up or down depending on the player. I suppose I could have said point-of-impact rather than point-of-aim

Best way to see it in action is to assign the following script (modified from a mock ally script by xplosys) to an enemy, give them a flat trajectory flak weapon and stand behind them. Note that they shoot straight but if you crouch they shoot towards the ground.
