Erm....has anybody else come across gangs using bendy bullets? In my pic, that gang leader shot me. I tried returning fire, only for the wall to block me. This type of scenario has happened a few times to me. Attachments:

In this situation, firing arc calculations take into effect the building wall. I don't know of the specifics, but if you compare the screenshot to a RL scene, the gang leader was able to peer around the wall, shoot, and move his body back behind the wall again. You, on the other hand, cannot do this because you're not at the corner. To peer around the corner and shoot back, you'd need to move forward (west) one square.

Essentially the line of sight equation is trying to fit in with the game's perspective, which is stylized to make it look like you're watching from above, somewhere in the Dome. Thanks for the technical details, SlayerNZ! |
