Change bullet impact force?

[1337inator]

I find it sort of annoying when I shoot people with SWEPs and they do triple backflips and land 50 feet from where they were before. I want my SWEPs to have more realistic impact effects. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks. And please be as specific as possible.

I'm GUESSING its a part of the actual swep, maybe edit the swep? xD

I'm sure it's part of the actual SWEP. But I don't know how to change a SWEP's impact force.

[rockstar91]

its a .lua file right? Well if it has an edited impact force, im guessing its just the case of finding it somewhere in the file and changing a number xD , I doubt it would be named to randomly?

I looked for a line that changes impact force and could find none.

Do you know how to access bullet force? i.e. what variable it is?

Nope, not a clue. Could you post the code here?

Here's one

local HitImpact = function(attacker, tr, dmginfo)

    local hit = EffectData()
    hit:SetOrigin(tr.HitPos)
    hit:SetNormal(tr.HitNormal)
    hit:SetScale(20) -- I tried changing this. No effect.
    util.Effect("effect_hit", hit)

    return true

Hmm, The first thing that sprang to mind was the damn scale, then i read your comment xD

maybe try
SWEP.Primary.Damage = 100
SWEP.Primary.Cone = 0.0052
?

Maybe its damage related? , Havn't got a clue what cone is? maybe the spread of the bullet? maybe increase it?

Post kermite_base

[rockstar91]

he has? in post #7 right?

[1337inator]

Oops, the problem was actually with an unrelated weapons script in my init.lua

Can now change force with bullet.Force, which in this case is in kermite_base (in case anyone's searching for the answer to this question sometime)
