Mod idea - GotAim

[nogusta]

I hate when I have my crosshair on someones head yet i miss the shot. Where the hell did the bullet go? if it did not go where i aimed then y not? was it recoil was i moving etc? I would love a mod that is like a 5-10 second instant replay type thing where after u just sprayed at someone you can replay it in slow mo and get statistics on each shot.

It would be great if it brought up the following for each bullet: trajectory, if it deviated from the crosshair because of movement, recoil etc and if so by what percentage, distance travelled, if it hit what damaged it caused.

You think this kind of thing is possible?

source is the reason you don't hit where you aim.

[chemicalNova]

Its very possible. The Half-Life engine (like any self respecting engine with an SDK) includes a 3D trace function to trace a line through the world. Its fairly CPU intensive.. but its possible.

It would be fairly good. I certainly get annoyed at the CS:S rego, or lack thereof. Mainly when you spray an entire clip of AK into someone who is crouched down in front of you, facing the opposite direction...

[aceh]

Great idea.

[nogusta]

cool!

I thought of it cause last night i got quicky to stand while I still shot at his head and the 1st shot missed. Then I didnt move anything took a 2nd shot and it hit. wtf happened to that 1st bullet is there a random accuracy factor i am unaware of?

Yes.

[nogusta]

what is it beside my terrible aim? Do they just randomly make the odd bullet inaccurate

You would have to be careful with that playback though - you wouldn't wanna get shot while you're still watching something lol

[nogusta]

lol I will just pause the game. Everyone will wait patiently and without complaint while I see y I didn't kill some guy with point blank spray. And y would they wait patiently you may ask? well its because everyone loves the nogsta and his mad replay mod lol

You could always demo yourself playing, play it back later on slower speed and use

sv_cheats 1
sv_showimpacts 1

Or anything else which shows where the bullet hit.

[nogusta]

yeh true but i would the stats to come up in a really nice looking interface and actually see why it deviated from where i was aiming i.e. somthing llike bullet X was reduced in accuracy by 22.2% due to movement etc

[dreaMz]

Sounds like a very nice idea , going off what chem said it seems pretty easy , but i don't know if it would be that simple , anyway good idea

One of the limitations could be that quite often where your client displays someone is not where the server registers them as. So on the server they could have moved but on your client they are still in front of you. I think that's the main problem and it's caused by netcode and etc.

It would make it hard to define why, because while on your client the hit should have registered the server will think that no, it shouldn't.

[nogusta]

yeh i was thinking that which is y it would be cool to see if it with a mod like this be even cooler if it could show the other players hit boxes as well. That way when people go "wtf rego etc" I can get all high and mighty and go "yes bullets 1, 2 and 7 should of hit but due to bad net code dodgy rates etc they didn't", then quit source

[chX]

Hmm... any way of evaluating why it didn't hit may be hard. If you needed to put a mod or program on the server itself to communicate player positions and etc, it would probably slow the server down a little. Most providers wouldn't really want to include a mod which seems useless and takes away some of their ticks.

It's still a good idea.

If you think the Source netcode is bad, play Halo for about 20 mins..

[MeowCow]

be kinda like the cod2 kill cam, only in reverse. Although that would also be very nice.. seeing how the ****ing random killed you 1 bullet with dualies when you couldn't see him

I used to play Halo for PC competitively (lol)

The netcode isn't bad per se, but depending on your ping you have to lead your shots... the higher your ping the further you have to aim away from the person. You get to a stage where you adjust to it automatically, and I could usually take out someone with 3 shots of the pistol (<3 that pistol.)

[f1tzy]

there is a command for this, that creates a box every place you hit, whether it be on the wall or a person, a red box is created in mid air, its a sv_cheats 1 command, but i saw it on a server once, was very entertaining.

But what i think you mean is a mixture of this and the kill cam in CoD, sounds sexy

[nogusta]

damn u all someone rep me for this mad idea that will never happen

[Kryptix]

that would be a HUGE download
