One way bullets?
« on: December 25, 2006, 01:17:24 pm »
Is it possible to make bullets only go one way through a polygon, when it is set for "only bullets pass through"?

Simple and sad answer: Nope, it's not possible. :-\

You know, that's basically what colliders do; crouch down at sandbags or a crate which have a collider, and your soldat will lift up its gun over it to fire. Your soldat will be able to target enemies at most angles and attack very easily, but foes will have a hard time retaliating since their bullets will clash against the collider if they're not aiming exactly at your soldat's weapon (unless they have explosive weapons on them, but you're just asking about bullets anyways ;)).

No,what I was wanting to do was have people from an opposite team in "jail cells" under a team, but not have the team above be able to shoot at them.

I have had sucess (sort of) with this by making a polygon that covers a soldat up to his full height while crouching and putting a collider right under the polygon, then putting a V shaped polygon above it so there is JUST enough room for bullets to go through, but people cannot and enemies basically cannot. This only works horizontally though...
