Got a cool project idea but nothing else? Put it in the project ideas thread instead!

Projects for any Doom-based engine (especially 3DGE) are perfectly acceptable here too.

HD-style slow bullet

Post by Matt »

https://mc776.neocities.org/dl/slowbullet.pk7
In the readme, I wrote:A finite-speed hitscan projectile based on Hideous Destructor's bullet.

Useful for very small, very fast projectiles (like, you know, bullets) where a regular fastprojectile would be making thousands upon thousands of collision checks every tick.

Distributed under GPL as a derivative work of the GZDoom source.


Instructions
To see what it's about, load the entire pk7, hit IDFA and select weapon slot 4 ("SlowBulletTester").

Most changes you might want to add should be available through the properties or virtual function overrides.

Use +NOBLOOD to get rid of the impact blood.


Known bugs
Collision against 3D floors and some walls not entirely reliable.

This replaces this previous obsolete attempt.

So I'm looking at this to try and make a Source engine styled tracer, and I'm a bit confused as to how to change and remove a few things in a new class, namely the trail and its variants, ricochet, impact effect, and damage. I'm guessing that this can all be changed through the virtual functions, but I don't exactly see how. Do keep in mind that I am new to complex ZScripting like this, and I'm not commenting on the code itself, which seems to be fairly well documented. I can tell what chunk of code does what, but I just can't see how to bend those to my own needs.
