Xbow bounce

[CookieCuttah]

Okay im not sure if it has been mentioned before but...If you shoot like 3 feet infront of you at the ground, the bolt will bounce off the ground and keep going forward, its possible at about 3-10 feet and on some corners/walls. Makes for some stylish kills

Yeah, if you shoot a wall at around a 45 degree angle it will bounce. The fun thing is shooting one up a hill and having it hit someone square in the head and tacking them to the wall.

What's even better is to turn gravity on really high. Default is 600, I set it somewhere around 999999999999 yesterday, and when I shot it, it would immediately bounce along the ground, allowing for roughly 10-20 hops, plenty o' sparks, and a cool little "skipping stones" mini-game.

Anyone who is bored with CS:S or HL2DM, set binds for spawning NPCs, and play around on the coast level where you go on the train tracks and the train comes with the loud loud horn. I set the gravity to 50, and any time you came into contact with any form of physics-related object, the item you touched, shot, etc. would float, making for some VERY VERY FUN crossbow crucifixions. Man, I seriously had a blast. NPCs kept me occupied for well over an hour.

No offense but you have horrible fps...Ill try the skipping stone thing though.

once i did that, it bounced so much, it slowed to about 1 mph, and i was able to see it bounce in my face, it kinda never stoped

Well, you couldn't see there, but I had previously spawned a shitload of NPCs and had fun with them, so they really are taxing on your CPU. And that likes to bring your FPS down...a lot. Plus that was outdoors, plus, I have lots of settings on high.

I've noticed that I had a bolt bounce twice at one point. Shot it at a diagonal angle, so it bounced off the ground, then off a wall and into the wall opposite. Was quite cool.

The bolts can't actually bounce from a -really- long distance away, I'm not even sure if there is any limit on the distance it can go before it won't bounce.

 

[CookieCuttah]

It isn't the distance, it is the angle, because the crossbow has a velocity...it starts going down after a while and the angle becomes too high to bounce so it sticks.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!! I get 20-some frames per second. SHUT UP!

Yeah so..

i dm lockdown i once saw a crossbow bolt ricochet like 10 times down a hallway, it was sweet

Nailing other players with a ricochet IMO feels more satifying than even nailing them over the head with a toilet

Don't take offense man...I get bad fps too. Im just saying it sux. Though I usually only get bad FPS when there are a lot of bodies.

I didn't take offense, some other guy did. :rolling:

I guess he loves you so much that he is overprotective.
