Howdy all. I noticed the other day that the UT sniper rifle seems to have a max range. I was playing ctf in ctf chasm and was shooting at opponents (or rather trying to) all the way across the level. I noticed I could kill bots almost all the way across, but after a certain range My rounds no longer reached them. Does anybody know a way to increase the range or locate the integer values that dictates the range? I have made a dragunov sniper rifle model and am using slightly altered sniper rifle code. I alos wish to make a model .50 cal barrett rifle which should have an extremely large max range. Also on this topic, why is the damage inflicted on enemies for non headshots 66, when in the uscript the value was 45 for the sniper rifle? Is there a scaling factor in there? I would like to lower this value so I can make a full auto "zoomable" sniper rifle/submachine gun that is not completely unbalanced (note I will lower the value of the headshot damage).

hope this helps a bit. Not sure on the damage thing


function TraceFire( float Accuracy )
{
local vector HitLocation, HitNormal, StartTrace, EndTrace, X,Y,Z;
local actor Other;
local Pawn PawnOwner;

PawnOwner = Pawn(Owner);

Owner.MakeNoise(PawnOwner.SoundDampening);
GetAxes(PawnOwner.ViewRotation,X,Y,Z);
StartTrace = Owner.Location + PawnOwner.Eyeheight * Z;
AdjustedAim = PawnOwner.AdjustAim(1000000, StartTrace, 2*AimError, False, False);
X = vector(AdjustedAim);
EndTrace = StartTrace + 10000 * X; <-- the 10000 is the max distance I think
Other = PawnOwner.TraceShot(HitLocation,HitNormal,EndTrace,StartTrace);
ProcessTraceHit(Other, HitLocation, HitNormal, X,Y,Z);
}

Kangus is right there, thats the range.

About the damage, damage in the code is what would be if the game was played in "Classic" mod, but ut defaults in , umm mega, or execisve, or something like that, so Damage in the code is something like x 1.1 or 1.2.

Thank you !!

Thank you oh so much. this will help greatly especially since I missed several opportunities the other day to take the neighbor kids to school with ultra long range headshots. and now I need to know where to locate the value for max zoom. I know this has to do with FOV, however where do I change the desired FOV value that I saw mentioned in the code, and if I change this will it affect all weapons that zoom and use modified versions of ut's sniper rifle code? I want to lessen the zoom capability on one rifle, and greatly increase it on another. Thanks again for the help on range and damage.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Remeber my first questions? Neither do I, but I bet they were simpler than this.

EDIT: I remember one of 'em now. I wanted to know how to make the GasBagBelch last a shorter amount of time before exploding. Hehe, that was pretty simple.
