This is more of an affirmation than an actual question, I suppose, because ingame testing is mysterious and doesn't always work the way I want it to. Sorry for all the questions, really! ; w ; I'm still learning. So, WeaponOffset / MuzzleOffset. Tell me if my understanding is wrong, or there's something I'm missing here? - The first value is the x value. Increasing it moves the weapon up in the character's hands; decreasing it below 0 moves it down. A value of 1.2 would nudge the weapon up by ~10 pixels. - The second value is the y value. Increasing it moves the weapon forward in the character's hands; decreasing it below zero moves it backwards. A value of -0.5 moves the weapon backwards by 4 pixels. - "1" = an 8 by 8 pixel block, since the game really likes measuring in blocks of eight. So a weaponOffset of [-1, 2] would have the weapon nudged eight pixels down and sixteen pixels forward. Right?
It's so mysterious even the developers don't seem to know exactly how it works. From weapon.lua, there's a funny comment on line 11: newWeapon.aimOffset = config.getParameter("aimOffset") or (newWeapon.muzzleOffset[2] - 0.25) -- why is it off by 0.25? nobody knows!
You have it a bit backwards in a 2d plane the x value is your horizontal axis (left and right) and the y value is vertical (up and down) so in actuality [-1,2] would move the weapon 8 pixels back (left) and 16 pixels up 1 block is 8 pixels so if you want to move something by 1 pixel it would be 0.125 so for reference 0.125 = 1 pixel 0.25 = 2 0.375 = 3 0.5 = 4 0.625 = 5 0.75 = 6 0.875 = 7 1 = 8
That's absolutely hilarious that even they don't fully understand. I can't blame them at all. But thank you! I was sort of just firing in the dark in hopes of figuring it out, but now I know-- and that's awesome! I don't know nearly as much about algebra as I probably should (it's been a long time, haha), so the help is super appreciated.
