what size is the hitbox on the plasma cannon projectile? Is it a flat area surface or is it a volumetric surface for the hit detection?
Are you guys working on hit detection problems for the Bon's shotgun, plasma cannon, and other weapons in general? |

I think I understand what you're asking.
Is the PLC projectiles hitbox in the form of a ball or flat.
I really can't tell, I would imagine it would be something like a ball, maybe even a cube. I don't believe it is flat. But yes, I think I k ow what your issue on hit detection is. It sometimes looks like people go through the projectile when they are strafing and you go for a direct hit. That is actually just them passing through the projectile's trail, so hit detection is fine.
However, I sometimes get a misfire where the PLC doesn't shoot even after going through the animation. This is usually
Only in high lag situation though.

Its a thin stick, I shot my plasma cannon just below the d**k of a redberry, and the whole burning plasma projectile went through his legs without even hurting him, I think the plasma should have touched him but it didn't.

Yeah... I barely picked up this weapon and I thought it was just me.
I go in for a direct attack at a sentinel in a corridor and... nothing. It looked like it went through his face...
Happens more times than I would like when I believe I should have striked with a direct volley.

It is lag causing this. I have used PLC since it was introduced in Dust and enjoy running in a dual PLC gal commando suit. During peak hours in my timezone I have no problem hitting sentinels with direct hits or getting the very satisfying hits at 50+ meters.
Very late in my timezone where I start to encounter players from further away from my geographical area it becomes nearly impossible to hit anything but tanks and turrets. Jumping scouts get no splash damage and the PLC projectile passes right through sentinels even up close.
I also experience the issue with the PLC firing with no actual projectile due to lag from time to time.
In no lag matches the PLC feels overpowered while it is almost useless in laggy matches.
Forgot about hitting sidestepping lighs and medium suits when the opponent is using a keyboard, the quick keyboard side dance and the hit detection is a terrible combination. I have never been able to hit these players with my PLC. You know when the opponent is stepping left and right quickly and not the usualy more fluently circling from side to side.
EDIT:
This is not an attack on keyboard users, I have tried keyboard and was never able to do the same. Some players are just very good and have exceptionally quick reflexes that my slower aim is unable to track. |
