Projectiles and their AI.

So, with the new engine, we should look at some things most MMOs have, ranged combat.

Projectile weapons are quite important in my view, and should be integrated into the combat system instead of our current source tutorial that does direct damage (Wabbit's work is great, regardless) in place of actual stat calculations. I think NPC AI that can target using ranged weaponry would be great too.

I think it's pretty simple to understand what I mean.

I don't know what our plans on this are but I personally think a ranged system should be in the engine as default but we'll see.

[Exception]

All I can say is, **we're still planning what we're going to do**, and what outcome we'd like to see.

As a sidenote; I think the suggestions board at the current minute, as a whole, is rather moot, considering we're still deciding and planning.

no this is the best time speak now you have stuff you can work with and not have to wait forever and day for ppl to tell you anything.

Hmm projectile system to engine will be great addition. You can make something simple like that what i added to EA. It will add only 1 inrange loop and making it for NPCs is easy as hell too.

Creating a good engine doesn't happen by magic. We really are only in the planning stages at the moment.

Deathbeam, with all respect to what you did with EA, no. Wabbit's methods are more like what I want to see, not being able to insta-aim and almost always hit, doesn't give people the feeling of control.

We're still early in the planning stages, but I agree with my team, ranged combat should be included by default. It's a feature that was neglected in Eclipse Origins. So we will definately have it.

I do like the suggestion forum so that people make have some input on what they'd like to see, but we are still planning at the moment.

If there is going to be a projectile system, I suggest an ammunition requirement.
