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

Angles/reflection

just another operation?

Correction, I meant ray casting

maybe its RNG lol, since its so many bullets, its easier to just do an RNG for when some bullets bounce

Yes, if the ray meets a wall, it traces another ray based on the angle

based on time spent firing, rather than for every bullet

Yes I imagine rng

yeah it'd make sense

yeah, eve online doesn't do raytracing

or casting

its just, lock on target

because it's online with potentially hundreds of players in a single shard

in the same 'zone' in real time

extra processing power for missiles tho

so despite trying to be kind of a hard science fiction game, it doesn't bother to even handwave teleporting bullets... oh well 😃

They're responsible for Jericho as well, right?

Chris Jericho

Wrestler

wrestling is fake

but the injuries are real

how much time before 'ancestral scars' heal?

had to fix it with the question
