Everything that shoots a projectile--nails, rockets--shoots from the muzzle of the gun and converges on the crosshair. Instant bullets like shotguns come from the center of your screen. It's not a bug.

I've noticed this bug too, it's really irritating when I'm trying to aim properly in a pickup. When can we expect this to be fixed?

It's still not a bug. To "fix" it the weapon model would need to be moved to the middle of the screen.

DAT SOURCE ENGINE :B

lol its been like that since release
dont think its a bug seeing as how nails coming from the middle of the screen would look bad.
Nail model could be made smaller to look like it actually fits in the nailgun tho
, or maybe even look like a nail, imo :D

It's the Source engine. It's not unique to Fortress Forever.

You guys aren't taking this very seriously. This bug has been around since TFC and before, and nobody's ever thought to fix it. I mean, look at all the mainstream games these days, where you pull the gun to your forehead to shoot - they've got it right, you fire from the center of your FOV. I don't know why FF can't be the same.

It's not converging on the crosshair. Unless you mean at longer distances, since I haven't tested that out yet.

We should experiment to see at what distance it does converge at and whether that distance is sensible. It should be somewhere around whatever we consider to be a medium range for that particular weapon

Raynian: you want iron sights? then submit that as a feature. This is still not a bug. The alternative is to have rockets, nails, etc. shoot out of the character's eyes.

Elmo: I would imagine they converge at infinity. Making them converge sooner would mean either overshooting the crosshair at long distances or making the nails turn in midair (which I think was attempted once with poor results).

hmm though as it stands right now its barely converging at all - even at range. Surely it'd be better if we made it converge at some - set - long range than infinity. Personally I'd rather have it be right at some distances than none at all.

I may not understand the problems or implications of that but I feel like it may be better. Cause it annoyed me the other day.

It might be interesting if we could trace to the surface you're aiming at and then adjust the firing angle to hit at your crosshair. That could end up being too weird, though.

It seems fine as it is, considering you can keep yourself hidden mostly behind cover and shoot nails around the corner while not entirely exposing yourself. Good for taking out sentries and not getting lit up

But it is a bug. It's just a very commonly accepted bug that's been around for a loong time. Try shooting a SG from the right side of t junction in Monkey when the SG is above the opposite opening by barely poking your body out so it can't see you, then destroy it with a nailgun/sng. Now try the same but on the left side T-junction trying to shoot a SG above the opposite side. Impossible without the SG noticing you.

It's not a bug.
It's a feature of the source engine.
Projectiles spawn at the end of the viewmodel for visual accuracy.

Why can't you people spot a troll? I think it's fine the way it is.

I wasn't even trying that hard.

I'm not talking about where the projectiles are coming out from. I'm talking about the projectiles not converging at the crosshair. So if you aim at a SG with a nailgun, it will slightly miss the target even if your crosshair is on it.

Um, here's why:

• Your post looked just like that of a regular complainer. You made no indication that it was otherwise.
• I don't know you well enough to expect any better from you.
• Sarcasm is not apparent in text.
• Naively, I don't expect people to act stupid for lulz.
• I don't give enough of a shit to spend my time sorting out actual complaints from "trolls".

A better question is, why are you wasting my time pretending to complain about stupid shit? Grow up.

Bridget: what does it have to do with the engine? If you're holding a gun in your right hand, you're obviously going to find it easier to shoot around a corner on your right side. Bullets come out of guns and every FPS engine is going to simulate that.
