People able to shoot thru doors

(Ifurita) #1

is this caused by doors that are too thin? how thick do doors need to be in order to prevent this?

define see though doors please :slight_smile:

they can shoot flames thru a closed door

Yeah I think that’s because of “thin” doors but it’s not something I’ve tried reproducing but that’s my bet.

i have incountered this on battery i few times i think… They walk up to the door so there gun stucks out on the other end… then they shoot…

Weird thing is… the flames reflect from the door also… so u flame the people inside but also urself…

I believe the same thing works with riflegrenades ?

Maybe bad clipping? Or no clipping? Might be a server sync thing too…

You can fire a riflegrenade through a door too if you stand close

I think if you drop a nade in the right place on the battery backdoor you can damage anyone standing close enough to it on the other side. could do it aswell (actually a lot more easily iirc) in rtcw - e.g. on the hangar door on assault if people were doorblocking, though a panz worked better.

theres something about being able to shoot the rifle nades through it on that unofficial guide mentioned in a post on here fairly recently.

We apologise for the shoddy construction of some of the doors in our maps. This is the result of inferior quality construction materials used by subcontracted interior decorators. We will not be using them again.

While these doors may be frustrating for gameplay, we hope you will appreciate how their unique construction allows cooling breezes to circulate, which contributes greatly to player comfort in hot, arid conditions such as those found at Siwa.

We thank you for your patience.

:moo:

lol

if you stick the end of a rifle through a door you can shoot a rifle grenade through :o

but bani fixed this in 3.0.1 (or maybe one of the bugfixes). So it will definately be fixed in et pro 3.0.2 :slight_smile:

Out of interest, do the flames do any damage on the other side of the door?

Just tested this - no they don’t do any damage.

But the rifle grenades do :slight_smile:

When we were playing last night, the flames did do damage on the otherside. It seems like you have to shoot your flame right at the seam between the door and the doorjamb

(bubba g) #14

OK - just tested this by running my own server, on the back door of battery. Should have tried harder :slight_smile:

One thing I did notice was the flamer guy didn’t take any damage?? Was this also the case Ifurita?

(Ifurita) #15

yes and no. In the right spot, the flames go thru the seam. However, if you deviate just a bit, it will bouce back and hit you
