Will require a body of water to slow down the rpg with.

Well, does an rpg have a hitbox? Wouldn't it need a mechanism to record a hit?
If it had a hitbox, i'm sure it would have been shot down at least one in 200 attempts.
I know, from hours (months) on Overwatch, that a mag shot to the head never makes it through the wake of the rocket.
Guy is standing still and fires directly at you and your have a headshot. At least not after the rpg is flying.
Maybe just as it's emerging.

i believe it would be handled by the collision dectection code, but thats a guess.

Well, not to hit the rpg itself, only to trigger a detonation. It's like you shoot a bolt and the map or vector places the bow there.
It would seem there would have to be a hitbox to actually hit the weapon in air.
I never heard of anybody shooting a SMG Nade or GNade down.

Damn that would make quite a different game!

Seriously? I shoot smg nades down every single day. The same goes for grenades. They can easily be shot out of midair.

Try this - shoot an smg nade, and immediately change to gravity gun and primary fire. You will blow up your own smg grenade.

blowing up ggun nades? all I know is smg nades can be blown up in midair, not rpgs.

I don't believe you.
All these years and never seen it and you do it every day. NO WAY.

i've shot down peoples smg nades with mag, xbow and shotgun.

Nihlus

2010-08-10 05:33:13

Yep, I've done it a few times.. shot down the smg nade (usually with a shotty) the second the other person shot it... it blows up in their face.

CellarDweller

onti used the gg primary smg nade combo for many of his trick jumps.

Yea stopping smg nades isnt that rare or anything.
My funniest rpg stop that i can recall, was throwing a gas cylinder at a nooblets head, he fired rpg and it hit the cylinder, because it was pretty close to hitting him it went down as a suicide. Its funny cause the cylinder is small =^P

If you go on laggy servers(it helps) and you start bhopping really fast and shoot the rpg you'll catch up with the slow start of the rocket and your own rocket will hit you.

s0iz

Looks like he stepped on his own missile. Or maybe missiles actually do explode when hit by a bullet like SMG's nade.

After remembering fanom do it I'm pretty sure bullets have the ability to blow up RPG's. I don't recall div being anywhere close to stepping on the rocket when it was fired.

Bullets cannot make rocket explode. go slow a rocket down in the water and have 7 players soot at it. won't blow.

DUnno then

Maybe a player will glitch into the rocket hitbox if there is server/player lag?

Divinity

I was camping ontop of green train watching the back door standing still, saw fantom, shot rocket, he evidently shot mag (he had mag in hand) and the rocket explodes in my face and i suicide. Might have demo will look for it.

if you do find the demo make it into a click shit was funny as hell

s0iz

Maybe you can blow it with bullets in the milisecond when just fired.

poconut

2010-08-12 21:23:45

Maybe the bullet made the player move...into the rocket? Bullets knock you back right? That doesn't make sense. I dunno. From where does a rpg rocket original relative to the player?

herbalizer

2010-08-13 01:42:30

I think it's a clipping issue because it happens to me on aim/lv when I am on the upper levels. Thought I was just really bad with rocket, which I am but with a bit of lag this could happen to anyone standing near the edge.

Edge

2010-08-13 07:56:35

Tested tonight, as Provost said, you can't blow the RPG up with bullets. You can GGun it with primary, but thats about it. Whats even crazier, is your RPG can pass right through you as well. Suicides from it tend to be simply because it blew up near a player.

Choco

carnage had 1 hp, and died, but how did the rocket not continue flying and explode under voz? rockets dont explode after the person who shot it dies

The Argumentalizer

2010-08-13 09:45:02

I think a lot of this stuff is animation weirdness. Like, if you mag someone just as they orb. You here the sound and even see it.
Same with rpg. They die just as it comes out. With some lag, someone could literally die inside the rpg as it comes out.
Nihilus said he has shot an smg nade just as it came out.
I think it is more of a glitch. The player died, the game couldn't easily decide what to do with the shot.
As for shotgunning a nade in mid air, i have never seen it happen or done it.
Maybe folks are just leet like that. :?
And i never believed you could shoot an rpg. The rpg seems to fly and collide or time out and that is all.

Nihlus

2010-08-13 11:18:44

You are right in that these type of things tend to happen as soon as they "spawn", like shooting an smg nade as soon as it comes out. But I don't think it's because the player died and the game couldn't decide. A lot of the time, the majority actually, when an smg nade is shot down, it blows up in the person's face but it does not kill them.

For RPG it seems to be different. As Edge said, we tested it with a really really slow rpg, we shot it with every weapon available, even thew a grenade at it, and it didn't blow up or even change course.

Something interesting was discovered though. When Edge was directing the really slow RPG, we killed him. We thought that the RPG missile would then keep going as usual until it hit something and it blew up. Well, Edge came back and picked up the RPG he had dropped and regained control of the missile that was still in midair. Very interesting, though it has no use in a match at all.

The Argumentalizer

2010-08-13 12:21:41

So the rpg was assigned to him in some way. Even after he died, it looked for his control.
Freaky. Really strange.
