In that case you can just check the player's velocity. If they're not moving very much, make the bullet have less spread. Or: If the player is moving, add some movement to the bullets too.

that's what I'm basically doing, i'm just editing that one value

no, I meant directly use the player's velocity to multiply spread.

Oh.
Time to start experimenting then.

I believe the L4D2 Weapon Pack's sniper rifles used this method of movement-creates-spread, but it was more boolean.
But you could just create an equation that calculates their total velocity and uses it to create spread.
Random functions pulled from some other script i made:

Code: [Select]


function Player::getTotalVel(%this) //adds up the absolute values of player velocity on X, Y, Z axes and returns the number
{
	%vel = %this.getVelocity();
	%velx = mAbs(getWord(%vel, 0));
	%vely = mAbs(getWord(%vel, 1));
	%velz = mAbs(getWord(%vel, 2));
	
	%totalVel = %velx + %vely + %velz;
	say(%velx@"+"@%vely@"+"@%velz@"="@%totalVel);
	return %totalVel;
}

function Player::getAvgVel(%this) //uses the above function to calculate the average of velocities on 3 axes
{
	%totalVel = %this.getTotalVel();
	%avgVel = %totalVel/3;

	return %avgVel;
}
