Paul That is unfortunately normal. I ran into this when modifying accuracy of weapons based on things like player speed, crouching, stamina, etc, but it will happen with all weapons no matter how careful you are.
When you do the bullet trace, you give it a vector which is basically the cone of degrees of accuracy. That means that the bullet will hit at a random point within that cone. The problem lies with the fact that the random point that the client comes up with will be different than the random point the server comes up with. All you can really do here is to keep as much as possible between the client and the server the same so that the accuracy vector you pass in to EV_HLDM_FireBullets() and to m_pPlayer->FireBulletsPlayer() is the same. Beyond that it is random, unless there is some magic hidden in the code that I haven't found yet. :( Rob Prouse Tour of Duty Mod http://www.tourofdutymod.com At 09:27 PM 26/02/2002 +0000, you wrote: >Ok, here's one I won't work out on my own. > >I ust finished making all our weapons use clientside events to do the >animations, decals, etc. But as I was doing the last one I forgot to turn >off the serverside decals.
