Projectile Collision

Oh boy. I asked this question a few months ago which led me down quite a rabbit hole. Let's just say, you're never going to implement the algorithm by trying to imitate your own version of what the client does. You need to reverse the code right out of the client, or you'll get kicked for misreporting projectile collisions in busy places like the Godlands. Save yourself a lot of time, and just copy and paste the code out of the client (P.S. all the public sources of code [fabbio, joryx, etc] I found had errors in them so don't trust them to be 100% correct).

The client breaks the map down into "Squares". A square may contain a static object (tree, wall, etc). If a projectile is on a square with a static object that has occupy or full occupy set, then it's a collision with a static object. Otherwise it'll continue to check if it's hit an entity (based on if the projectile and the entity are friendly or enemies).

Entities have a bounding box of 1.0. The client just checks if the projectile is within abs(0.5) x & y of the entity.

Thanks!

If this is actually how it works, and my auto-dodge plugin works, then you'll be the first (and only) person to have it!

Maybe we can have an dodge-off with our plugins. Currently mine is only for my headless bot though, but I was planning to try to make it into a proxy plugin for the flash client eventually. The problem there is tricking the flash client into moving which might work with faking GOTOs, but can be pretty annoying even if it does work. You could have it override key presses for the player, but then it might intefere, so I was thinking of making it a hold to active hotkey. What's your plan for that aspect?

BTW, you're literally going to need to reverse everything to get it work properly. Basically all of the object manager to get the properties for entities and shots. All the movement code to correctly be able to predict projectile collisions. The projectile code itself is actually pretty simple. If you omit all the player shooting that simplifies things a bit as you don't need to do the ST skins bullshit and items projectiles.

I will discuss this with you over private messaging.
