Hi,

I have a problem whit bullet trajectory in a 3rd person camera project.The bullet start from a vertex of my gun but how to tell it to go where i want... like in the center of my screen where's the crosshair are, whitout using c_trace.. cause i want to have a visible entity for my bullet.For now the bullet seem to go straight foward where the gun point but the gun are not at the center of the sreen so the trajectory of the bullet dont fit to hit the center of the sreen regardless the distance where it hit.

For now i use a code like that..

function move_bullets()
{
VECTOR bullet_speed;
my.skill30 = 1;
my.emask |= (ENABLE_IMPACT | ENABLE_ENTITY | ENABLE_BLOCK);
my.event = remove_bullets;
my.pan = camera.pan;
my.tilt = camera.tilt;
bullet_speed.x = 100 * time_step;
bullet_speed.y = 0;
bullet_speed.z = 0;
while (my)
{
c_move (my, bullet_speed, nullvector, IGNORE_PASSABLE);
wait (1);
}
}

Why don't you want to use c_trace? first trace once where the bullet needs to go, then create the bullet and let it shoot towards the target. As far as I can think of there is little other possibility as the angle of the bullet changes with the length of the trajectory.

C_trace give some weird thing... what if i need to shoot at a moving target and i need to shoot my bullet a little before it so c-trace hit far away and the trajectory are wrong...

you can use c_trce, and the you can use the vector hit.x,hit.y,hit.z, to tell the bullet, where he has to go.
