Anyway, Centurion, if you haven't noticed yet, there are loads of topics about default maps. Most of them are being reworked.

Heck, if you people really feel that much of a need to fix it, at least do it the easy way, make the nade spawn right at the beginning of the throwing animation, not at the end.

the nade doesn't collide for the first half second or so (you can throw a nade on the ground and run over it). and you can't animation mod your soldat, it has to be done with the original one, and if you do that, it's easier to just change the code.

You realize this means it is colliding with the ground, right? It doesn't collide with whoever threw the nade for the first half second or so. This isn't what causes nade-through-thin-walls.

hmm well, I guess that's just player colide, however, it's not a big deal if it spawns at the player location or further away, it must be changed by the coder.

Not to say your wrong because you obviously know more about it then i do. But in my experience it depends on how long it takes the grenade to contact the "thin wall". If you throw it from close to the wall it goes through. If you stand back it does not. Oo there is something there... I dont know. The map i am specificly talking about is one from the Resident Evil mod. The walls are made in such a way on purpose i think. Sorry if i am way off base here. Just my thoughts....

Here's my theory:

refer to attached

Point 1 is where the release point of the nade is.

Point 2 is where the nade ends up due to its velocity, position would be calculated before collision is detected, otherwise it wouldn't be able to bug through such thick walls.


The collision detection checks for which edge the nade is closest to, which in the case of thin enough walls, is opposite to where the player is, and the collision system remedies the fact that the nade is inside the poly by moving it out to the closest edge, which happens to be the wrong edge.

That's what I thought too, but then shouldn't same principles apply for bullets? Comparing to bullets, nades are relatively slow and yet bullets don't go through walls, but nades do.

Although with bullets it seems that Point 1 and 2 are somewhere near the center of the player, which explains why you can't shoot if you're inside a collider.

I dont know if i would want to take that out. Certain maps are made more fun by the fact that you can hide behind the wall and throw grenades out but not get shot or shoot out. Is it something that would be changed as far as the code is concerned or is it something to be changed on the map?

Throw a nade through one wall is unfair? What about two walls?

Bullets seem to have better collision detection than nades, e.g. a raycast between where the bullet is and where it is going to be to make sure that it doesn't pass through any polies.

I know that map... I did not know that was possible. Thanks for the info. Lol.

No, it's not allowed. Even if you can make your grenade through 123891273837904 polygons, it's still not allowed.

Its allowed cuz its a in game feature, Soldat got no bugs, all shits inside the game is a feature. I think that way cuz lots of shits has been reported on mantis and never fixed.
Now, if some league or ppl think its unfair, okay, its their way to play. Personality i play dont use-abusing those "features", but thats my way.

The game is somehow broken.

It's basically same with a car:

You'll buy a damn nice car and you'll find out that there's a hole in one of the tires. OH WAIT!!!!1 It's a tire feature @_@ It can be like that! I have no need to fix it and I can continue driving with a broken tire.

Nop, its something like this:

U got a 8 year old game, which nice ppl tried to help reporting bug which some has been fixed and some not, so there is no bugs at all. All funny shits like multi knives, lawproneair, warp and other gamebreak stuff has been fixed... now prolly crouch will be fixed on 151, so its not a featured anymore. Soldat got no bugs at all, what it got is feature which ppl accept or not, some featured are removed in fix versions to make the game more boring, just that.
