Weapons

Fun with replication!

Working on replicating loadouts – both player and item – from server to client.

Since items can attach to other items, there is a chance that attachments will run several layers deep. To test this, I added an attachment point to the ACOG and created a new weapon loadout to abuse it.

The following is the in-game results…

I had to laugh.

Needless to say, no, you won’t actually be able to do this in the final game 😛

Either way, it feels good to be working on gameplay related stuff.

Weapon Positions

Currently, we have eight (8!) weapon positions planned, excluding sprinting or similar.

Why so many?
A few reasons.

  • Prevents clipping issues.
  • Visually indicates accuracy.
  • Naturally helps balances different weapon types.
  • Gives weapons a sense of weight and size

What follows is essentially a cut and paste from our dev wiki, minus requirements and references.
