I've been wanting to mod some guns to be a little more realistic by having them more affected by gravity, and I was wondering if there is a way to do a rangefinder linked in with an alternate trigger for the weapon and sends the data back to the user. Or does Halo's game engine not support that?

It is possible to have them affected by gravity, just modify the gravity scales in the projectile tags.
And, I am pretty sure a rangefinder isnt possible.



wrong, its just because Bungie set the scale to to 1, so that it stays straight.

A bullet does not travel to fast to be affected be gravity. A bullet travels to fast to be noticeably affected by gravity.

Figures. Halo's game engine spoils all my fun. :(

Here we go, people start acting smart and think they know loads about how weapons and physics work.

So you're saying a bullet isn't a projectile?

uh.... at 100 meters a .22 bullet drops almost a foot.
E: and dude are you serious? have you ever even played halo? the plasma pistol rounds drop considerably

lol at people who have never actually fired a gun.

an actual gun

in actual life

If by range finder, you mean displaying the distance to the target, then it's possible, by tweaking the weapon HUD interface.

There's no point in the range finder , halo cant simulate real life sniping , where you have to guage windspeed , distance , hundreds of other factors. If you were sniping in real life , and used a sniper rifle as if it were halo , you would either get killed or be fired for terrible shooting.

lolwut?
no way.
