Preventing Infinite Recursion in WorldHitscanPreFired

[stainedofmind]

Hi! In brief, I'm wanting to make use of the WorldHitscanPreFired event to allow to universally modify hitscan attacks. Yes, you can tell the event handler to not spawn the hitscan and replace it with a projectile, but if you try to fire a new hitscan projectile, it leads to an infinite recursion crash. I have figured out a really hacky way to get around this, but it doesn't allow for perfect recreation of the hitscan. I'm wondering then if there is currently anyway to modify or re-create a hitscan then without resorting to spawning a projectile. Thank you.

Hello! I actually do this in my mod. I do it by using the LineTrace function to create my new and modified hitscan attack instead of any of the built-in attack functions. LineTrace does not create further Hitscan events. I did this because I needed to check the texture of the attack's hit point, so I could universally add fitting particle effects.

Super delayed reply, but thank you for the idea. I wouldn't have thought of it. Is the mod available somewhere so I could take a look at the code? OR if not, are you able to share the basics of it?
