hi, i'm new to the forum and a newbie in qc programming. i wanna know how to change the nails speed. i searched the web and found this topic right here, but didn't solve my problem. i can set the sv_maxvelocity cvar to a lower number and get the nails to fly slower, but they won't go any faster than the default speed even if i set the cvar to 100000. here is the code.

Code:
newmis.velocity = dir * 10000; }; void() W_FireSuperSpikes = { local vector dir;
local entity old;
sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/spike2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
self.attack_finished = time + 0.2;
self.currentammo = self.ammo_nails = self.ammo_nails - 2;
dir = aim (self, 10000);

what am i doing wrong?

maybe this? void() W_FireSuperSpikes = { local vector dir; local entity old;
sound (self, CHAN_WEAPON, "weapons/spike2.wav", 1, ATTN_NORM);
self.attack_finished = time + 0.2;
self.currentammo = self.ammo_nails = self.ammo_nails - 2;
dir = aim (self, 10000);
newmis.velocity = dir * 10000;
};
its hard for me to tell with out the code in front of me im still fairly new to coding and i havnt been able to code ne thing in like half a year now... but the only time i had issues with changing the speed of a projectile came back to max_velocity

i put your code in there but it didn't work, thanks anyway. btw, my autoexec.cfg is this

Code:
sv_maxvelocity 10000 deathmatch 1 map e1m1

i've only modified this file (weapons.qc) in those lines i quoted before. if somebody wants the whole file i can upload it.
thank you

i just found this on misc.qc and changed to 10000 too

Code:
newmis.velocity = self.movedir * 10000;

that's all i've changed. i uploaded the the files (weapons.qc, misc.qc and autoexec.cfg) on this link http://www.mediafire.com/?zzuygjgzdyy.
i think that is all i have regarding the projectile and weapon, but if there's more files i can find to modify, please let me know

i see no issues with your code. try setting max_velocity to something like 50000 and see if it goes any faster. cause your doing 10000 x 10000 and your max velocity is only 10000 so it wont go any faster. cause its dir (10000) x 10000 = a . anyways since your capped at 10000 it wont go any higher and your awnser is also being capped.

You are remembering to put your compiled progs.dat into your .pak file, right? _________________ Coder/3d modeler for UrbanWars
