Yes.

The engine code would have to be modified for the laser thing anyway, so I assume it could be edited in a similar way to adjust the firing vector to where that laser is going - especially if the code for it already exists in first person mode...

Maybe we could make a playertype that has kind of the right angle to make a 3rd person crosshair to go allong with it

Rotondo's Survivor player type that comes with Zombies for the over-the-shoulder view, but it doesn't have a crosshair in that view.

Couldn't you add one as a toggle-able gui?

TheFrontDoor · July 18, 2009, 02:47:43 PM

you mean just for the survivor playertype or just a toggleable 3rd person crosshair?

You use the tip of the gun as a crosshair, and judge your shots. It's actually very effective and accurate, I think Rotondo made it like that for a reason.

A TwoGuns-style laser would be interesting.

I would enjoy this! Just make it client sided please.. other players that have the laser sight on only have a little light on the end of their guns..

Datablocks are sent to the client.
You could check your player's current datablock, and check if it has a non-tilted view.
If the view isn't tilted, place a crosshair on the screen depending on how far back it is, and how far to the side it is, or something.
