It's like this with the shotgun too. There's a bit of a delay before you can do anything and you have to wait it out.

Well, since it's not an automatic weapon, a small period of time is needed to recharge it

btw DEagle does really sometime do strange things. I don't use the Aim-option in HW. I'm next to an enemy's hedgehog (so close that I can smell his fart in my nose...virtually of course ). And I point the pistol in his bloody head...I shoot. Nothing...Or at least nothing happened to the sucker though a big line-hole was made exactly behind his bottom...How's that? And that isn't one or two times. I've shot opponents from a very long distance...I can understand if I miss. But form 1-2mm distance...Come on...

You do use crosshair instead of barrel to aim don't you? If you don't you'll surelly miss. I think this crap should be kinda fixed. It's really strange when a bullet flies 15 cm lower than the gun barrel is. Anyways you cannot hit hedge's feet or spikes don't try, srsly. Forgive my drunken engrish, lol.

Didn't quite get what you mean, Dickens...

I think DrDickens ment that the bullet doesn't come out of the weapon itself. It comes out of the very middle of the hedgehog. This is confusing for aiming.

No matter. I'm still shooting 1 (or less) distance from his bottom. Even blindfolded I can't miss! And I still can hit from a large distance. But yes, I think it kind of shoots not from the pistol but from the center of the hedgehog.

PS: The two smileys above this line - that's the distance I'm talking about. And I miss.

use a piece of paper and line up the aim line with the edge of the paper...you will NEVER miss

1) It's dull to make that Kind of spoils the pleasure of the game if you have to fight a piece of crappy toilet paper daubed on your display

2) I said - shooting for a distance is accurate (somehow), but if you stuck your pistol in your opponent's bottom, you miss (please don't misinterpret the phrase "your pistol in your opponent's bottom" ).

That's obviously a mystery not only to me

PS: I've just noticed the second textual smiley for geek - ":" + "unc0rr" + ":" :D:D Cool.

Hey! Mind teh copyrights! Paper aim is mah invention, lol! Tiyuri promised to add a webcam support to avoid that kind of cheating, rofl.

lol

That's how it works. Lime line deagle's aim. Purple one is for engine acual aiming. There's nothing to do about that. Deage's just a picture.

Hm. I wonder how messy it'd be to add an X/Y offset to a given weapon info for purposes of lining up crosshair with weapon.
Something to poke at perhaps, assuming it wouldn't confuse things further.

It's sprite that should be fixed. All weapons should have one origin.

You do realize that fixing deagle this way will end up in attaching it to the groin. Balls of steel lol. I don't see much of a problem here, i just got acustomed to using the crosshair and ignoring deagle's barrel.

this could be fixed two ways:
1) adjust the crosshair and weapon origin
+ would not break the art
- offset in the shooting code
2) align the gun sprite to the line
+ no complications in the code
- breaks the art

Yeah, I guess different weapon origins would be confusing *and* lead to odd play where the weapon used depended on the terrain.

But. What about maybe having the origin for all of 'em being a bit higher?

Maybe closer to top of hedgie head?

2)
+ all weapons use same origin, so you may aim with one, and shoot with any
