Maximum Projectile Speed - v17 Suggestion/ Discussion

[Zloff]

I support this. Guns that have a max muzzle velocity of 200 bps is crazy :s

[Mr.Noßody]

That allays annoyed me. I wanted to remove it from the get go.

Correction 400 bps.
200 max velocity.
Brick is 0.5 TGE units.
2 bricks per unit.

There's an ocean of difference between realism and wanting sniper rifles that shoot bullets that can go faster than 500 metres (estimate bro) a minute

Okay lets make the max speed 10. Because we don't want realism right? Let's make things completely ridiculous.

I'm actually referring to this:

Real bullets almost travel like a raycast, this would help for sniper rifles because it doesn't take 10 seconds for a bullet to reach the other side of a map, and it also doesn't take 0 seconds.

I actually support the suggestion of raising the max value, but not too much. Somehow between 400-800

Make the limit higher.
Make 200 the default limit.

[Doomonkey]

Make the limit higher.
Make 200 the default limit.

Default limit?

[Zloff]

Make the limit higher.
Make 200 the default limit.

That'd be stupid. Grenades would be like missiles

[Doomonkey]

Bump for support.

Vehicles in Blockland are speed limited for performance reasons.

Yes, this applies to projectiles as well, and raising it would be consequencial to many users.

Please explain, or are you just being an idiot. How does a fast bullet make any more lag than a slow one?

Faster position updates, unless you want your bullets to sometimes go through things without hurting them, you're going to have to make it cut on performance to go any faster.

But you wouldn't have thought of this.

[Doomonkey]

Nope, I wouldn't have.

But if people were sensible, and only increased the speed on snipers, this wouldn't be a problem.

I'm pretty sure that a machine gun firing 3 bullets a second is going to cause more position updates than any sniper.

But you wouldn't have thought of this.

[Doomonkey]

Bump for needs support.

[The Corporation]

I support raised velocity-remove the limit, and it's gonna be worse than a mininuke and the ion cannon having a baby...wait, that sounds like a good Idea! The ION NUKE! Now it doesn't lag anymore!

Uuh, faster position updates?
I guess you mean it has to check for collisions in a bigger area. But that area wouldn't be that much bigger that it instantly causes lag or anything. And if it really would incerease or cause lag (what I doubt), it's possible to reduce a projectiles lifetime, or to set a lower projectile-per-client limit.

The limit should be at least incereased to 400 - 500 imo.
