| What would be the function that sets a delay of a raycast judging by distance? |

Shouldn't it simply be distance / muzzle velocity * 1000 milliseconds? |

You have to split up the raycast into sections each a set length (possibly with a remainder at the end), and delay each raycast by a certain ammount. This makes it work just like a real bullet would. brians would not work properly because things can move in and out of the way while the bullet is still in the air, which means someone could get blown up even when their not in the path of the bullet. If you know the basics of math you should be able to figure out the first part easily, but the second part requires some thinking. |

Raycasts are expensive in computing power. |

I've set a raycasting guns fire rate to 50 a second and had 25 people firing it all at once with a latency increase of only 100ms. EDIT: whats with the ~reserved~. It's Fing pointless in a coding help topic. |
