Hi all,

can throwing distance of grenades be influenced by the player? And other similar weapons?

They are swell, but a few times I got myself almost killed. I`m talking abt something like hold-down time of the pistol button. In some FPS games throw distance is determined by such means.

Regards, Oldtimer
 
In the case of grenades: They work the same as regular pistols. You will throw them at the red target. So make sure the red target is fara way from you.
 
Hi Pieter,

thanks, that is what I suspected but it brings up a general question abt. firearms:

- sometimes when shooting I target corpses. Is aiming affected by the camera position or your characters field of view?
So if you happen too look down in a melee you target a corpse if it happens to lie in the line of sight?

Regards, Oldtimer
 
Aiming is affected by the camera position, yes. I know you can accidentally target corpses. However, CCC added a fix a long time ago that if you shoot on a corpse, you will hit an enemy instead. So even if you seem to shoot at the corpse, the damage will be done to an enemy instead. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

No need to thank me. After all it is my fault that those pesky corpses block your path and spoil your aim <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

As for aiming, FAIK the bullet hits the character closest to your line of sight.

Hi Pieter,

thanks for replying promptly as ever.

I observed this yesterday in the Douwesen cave, there was a pile of corpses between myself and the baddies and I took my time to reload and shoot the remaining one after another as they were blocked by their former comrades... Corpses were red but I killed the living foes.

This thing with movement being blocked by corpses is annoying sometimes, but sometimes is incredibly handy also.

Regards, Oldtimer
 
At a moment where the corpses are annoying you, press the "O" button to loot them. They will disappear after that. You don't have to put your blade away to do that, so there's no danger. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I mentioned in another topic... somehow, I dunno, how they coded it, but the SLiB add-on folks, those Russkies, made it so their corpses don't get targeted. I wonder if they'd share the secret and if their system is much different from CCC's...

Also: You can accidentally poison an officer with a poisonous SWAK weapon? Bummer.

I reckon that can easily be fixed. Do you want me to fix it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
