Tracer ricochet

Post by charliegrs »

Is this possible in PR? Like somehow you can make it so when tracers hit hard surfaces they bounce? Arma 2 has it, and I think FH has it for the guns on the planes. It would look pretty awesome and realistic 8)

Looks awesome at night. Smells hardcoded though.

back in .6-.75 when the cobra was still used on kashan there was some form of visual ricochet effect from the 20mm cannon on it.

That would be sick on night maps. House of Pain seems to do it pretty well.

The visual effects in that mod are pretty neat. I didn't see any ricochets on the tracers, rather sparks exploding where they struck.

Sounds actually very cool, possibly you could add this to the effect on which the bullet causes a plume of dust rise when it hits ground, just add a number of different random effects so the tracers wouldnt just bounce in one direction(NOTE: im not sure it isnt hardcoded)

but those tracers look fantastic.

The glow effect they added to them look great as well!

The whole mod looks very nice.

We seriously need to talk to those guys about night maps. (They had NVGs on one, so they are proper maps)


EDIT -

It appears to be a BF2 - SPECIAL FORCES XPACK mod, not a vBF2 mod. Which blows alot of stuff out of the water.

That video blew my mind. Absolutely top notch tracers, effects and huds. Going to have to investigate this. :grin:

Good find LechHools. Never knew that BF2 tracers had the ability to reflect light on surfaces, pretty cool.
