Hello again. Hmm my friend came up with a idea that i though was cool.

He said to make a needer's projectiles sniper rounds but to make the sniper rounds make them follow people like the normal needler does. Is this possible? Im asking because i dont want to do it if its not possible and corrupt some files and go and have to fix them.

Thanks for answering all my noobish questions. :)

you would set the auto-aim in the weapon tag of the sniper to be a really high number like 1000000000000000000000 or something then your bullets will home in on anything that is a fooe in the direction that it was fired.

yeah, set the auto-aim tag real high as well as the magentism range (to help pick up targets automatically) and also edit the projectile tag to make them fly towards the target (homing or something like that)

The projectile tag is all you need to go into, but make sure you have the Homing/Turning plugin installed.

well, the magnetism helps becaus it helps spot out targets you can't, thus inhancing your kill amount and decreasing your rep with your fellow players :wink:

will do and

thanks for sticking around with all my questions.

EDIT: I just did what everyone suggested. But i mixed it up a lil, instead of a high # like 100000000000000000 i did 9999 Thanks agian

EDIT: I just change the 9999 to 9999999 Still didnt work, just i make the homing/turning really high as well???

You may or may not have to be zoomed in to hit somebody, I think it's zoomed out, but anyway, do what they said, get someone not on your team to join your game, and shoot the bullet, If they're in your line of sight your dot should turn red, click the left mouse button, and they get hit with sniper, and since your host and host=no lag, you don't have to worry about making it lead the target.

Congratulations, you've just made auto-aim, now go show everyone how good you are. And don't say thats not what you were gonna do, theres no other reason to make homing sniper bullets...ever.

im not saying its bad, I've done it before, im sure everyone has, but eventually you'll get over it. It's not fun.

Or warthog turret shooting needlers, and a hovering RWarthog with driving-aimabilty against a Banshee with rockets...All against a abnormally fast racing warthog with a turret that shoots super homing needles that will make your body launch 40 some odd feet into the air.

Had some fun times i tell you whut.

yeah, but the thing with that is, i have experimented with this before with multiple different weapons in SP, and found that unless, you are directly in a straight line from you to your target it will not hit the head, because it turns with the AI/player moving. And even if you are straight on with them it is still pretty hard to get anything but a body shot.
