well it would be funny, when u swap a weapon, the weapon u drop wouldnt just fall to the ground... but fly around the map until it hits someone

Wait wait! You can chuck your Assault Rifle at someone! It's worth something now! God I wish someone would that for CE, if it were possible.

Heh... *imagines dropping sword and seeing it go chop up enemies of its own accord*

Back on topic, just go to projectiles, then rocket, then type a number in the homing box. Easy.

i wonder y a homin sniper bullet goes weird.... maybe it goes too fast?

if u set the homing value too much, it wont go for the target, it will go away from the target. i set the homing of the scorpion shell soo much one time, i fired it at another dude, and it was like he had some kind of force field.

Nice.

The sniper bullet probably goes nuts because of the contrail, is that it? Or is it an actual issue with the homing?

easy, replace the rocket projectile's model with the model of the sword and remove all the fire/explosion effects, then give it some homing capabilities.

neither, the projectile moves way to fast for homing to do anything. the ocntrail means you will notice it, but the same thing would happen using any of the other bullet guns.

see i knew it it moves to fast

Apollo · Post by **Apollo** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 4:06 pm

yea i thought it was going too fast cause when i set the inital speed value to 4 it still went weird...it took like 50 shots to kill some one unless you zoomed out and shot like crazy, fireinhole8 would know bout shooting realy crazy

Edwin · Post by **Edwin** » Sun Oct 16, 2005 4:10 pm

you would also have to tone down final speed est thing to o is just leave it as it is and give a slight homing value (abut half the super plasma bolt) and use it just to correct poor aim.
