Maximum range for SetActivatorToTarget?
I'm currently using SetActivatorToTarget with the player as the initial caller to set the target as whatever is under the crosshair. I noticed that this has a very limited range though (even shorter than the hitscan range). It really isn't a problem for me since I am only using it for getting the target's heatlh to use for a HUD. Is there any way to increase the limit without causing issues?

Huh. Apparently that function, when used for a player, internally calls P_BulletSlope, which looks for a linetarget at a max range of 1024. That's not very far at all.

I figured it was somewhere around that. Thats 1/8th of the maximum range for hitscans. I'll mess around with the source and see what I can find. Thanks.NeuralStunner wrote:Huh.
