-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Im not using the missile entity from the HL2 rpg, Im using my own rocket entity which sets the missile velocity in the spawn function. And the delay effect happens on two other missile based weapons that I've entirely coded myself which have nothing to do with the rpg code.
Im also testing this on local server, so the latency delay should be close to null. If I used net_fakelag, there's definitely a delay between the moment I fire, and the moment the entity is _created_, but there's also a slight delay between the moment it is created on the screen (so on the client) and starts moving forward. It's this later point that I want to fix. > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]> Subject: Re: > [hlcoders] Prediction of projectile-based weapons in Source> Date: Wed, 24 > Oct 2007 08:01:06 -0400> > --> [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative > ]> How much of your code is based on the HL2MP weapon_rpg.
