| Increase Bullet Speed? |

most of what you're saying are network issues. I'm not entirely sure so don't take me as an expert but most of these limitations are due to Torque's max packet size and speed, which I don't think can be modified |

Same for the raycasting weapons, by the time the packet with the information that you clicked has reached the server the person might already be at a different position. --- End quote --- I don't see how latency is an issue. It takes about 2*(latency)ms for a target to be hit by a bullet. For most people, latency is well under 100. We're generally talking about a death happening within 0.2 seconds of the bullet being fired, and this is assuming the bullet has no travel time. Bullet travel times are too slow but instant travel would not be helpful. |
