You can't turn a frigate that much in 33 seconds

in-game you can

Cus is gay

also turning doesn't determine whetehr or not it's a hit

hit is based on whether or not the weapon is in optimal range (if not, it's too close, or it's in fall off, or target is too far away) and also tracking (higher tracking is needed at closer ranges)

yeah gay is the reason

so basically rail guns teleport bullets

Bad

lel

Just use lasers

yeah there's lasers... lasers would work

instead of taking 33.3 seconds, it's like 0.0003 seconds to reach target

i calculated! because im autist

Is there bullet physics for other weapons?

its all basically the same physics

except for missiles, which have a projectile speed

So ray tracing?

so they actually take time to reach target

um... i dunno, but you have to lock onto targets to shoot them

Ray tracing means that when you shoot the computer traces a line towards where you're aiming and checks if you are hitting something instantly

o rly

hm

so some games have bullet speed effects

Bullet physics means that the bullet is an actual object travelling, so it can be programmed to have, say gravity, wind and crap

yeah that must involve a lot of extra processing

You can also program it to have a logic then, like a homing missile

@What Would Jack Conte Do? mostly it's annoying to sync for multiplayer

thats pretty good

Verdun seems to handle it fine... that game seems to have what you describe

Most games do

You have both

and it has 32 players to a team on maps

Raytracing for say, a gun

And physics for stuff like rockets

yeah thats cool

i think in Verdun, if you fire a machine gun, there's a ricochet effect that can kill the player being shot at

so if they are hiding around a corner, they'll still die

because it's enough bullets bouncing

i dunno how that's done, maybe it's just one set bounce direction

but it really changes player tactics... rifle, just take any old cover. Machine gun? you need some good cover

You can still do math with raytracing
