Ok I tried everything but I didn't manage to make a decal which stays always in front of the player so that I can make a small red dot from the laser of the weapon and round decal from the flashlight. Give me a small code snippet which examinate that pls.

as i understand you want to make a laser red dot which stays always on the surface(a wall for example) that is in the front of player like a crosshair but in 3d space.

is your camera fps or tps or anything else?
are you use template script or your own one?
which version you use (A6,A7,c-script,lite-c)?

anyway, the algorithm is one used in bullet hole code. instead of a hole-like bitmap you use a red dot one and instead of creating an entity(hole) for every bullet you create one entity in game start and set its position/rotation continuously (using bullet hole algorithm).

that is what you got to do.

also there is a high-end implementation called "projection" that needs use of complex shaders and i have no advise about that

the camera is FPS, I don't use templates, and I use Lite-c. I know the bullet hole code, but I can't make it create the decal once and then just move it to be always in the middle of the screen - projected on the 3d space. So i need help with that : )

try whit this action (lite-c)



it will solve the problem. just put your red dot bitmap in your level (every level) and assign this action to it.

It works great. thank you!

Hi. I bump that my old topic because I need a decal staying always in front of the player ( laser of weapon or flashlight trail), but I must make it by DECAL (ent_decal). The way with sprite adjusting its angles to the normal of the hit surface is not very realistic : ( So if you have experience in that things can you post the code snippet here pls
