Aprox GG Cone drawing?

old time no.7

Can someone do me a favor?
Using a picture of model in third person, draw your approximation of how far out the ‘catch” or mouse 2 feature of the gravity gun is. From a side view would be good.

I ask b/c how the fuck I can pull down the AR2 from that tower on Avalon_B1 but can’t grab other weapons when they’re a foot from me, ie at the charger in front of the Mag on lostarena.
I have to get closer than just charging.

So if you could draw me an approximation maybe? I don’t know.
Or even from First Person an approximation how far laterally and horizontally the cone is would be helpful

Thanks.

The only way to do this is to test it carefully probably by making a map. Otherwise looking through the code. It has been a couple years but I think the code for the GG first trying to grab something directly out from your crosshair. Then it goes and looks in a cone. And it seems that the further away I get the more accurately I have to aim.

What bugs me is that sometimes I want 1 item and it grabs another when they are close together.

This will also differ based on the bounding box of the item that you are after or trying to avoid. Like those xbow shots that seem to be free and clear and all the sudden an ar2 that's 1-2 feet below it leaps into the air.

I haven't look at the models for a long time, but the ar2's bounding box is pretty large. This might explain why you pick that one up easier than others on avalon.

It is the sniper rifle from HL2CTF mod, thats the modle you look at when holding it not when its on the floor as a pick up.
