6:22 Back in CoD Black Ops 2, in the Campaign there was a Special Sniper Rifle that's whole Reason for Existing was its ability to shoot though ANYTHING even like a Collapsed HighWay Overpass. But it couldn't shoot though a Potted Plant. I suspect the Plant Decal/Entity/Brush/Mesh/Wall acts as the first wall you Hit. So then the Concrete Wall soaks the Shot.
@L0KKI2227 күн бұрын
related to the wall containing something called func_detail and are what is called "brush entities" and for some reason in L4D2 they have different penetration mechanics compared to world brushes. No matter what the wall is made out of (material) you cannot wallbang anything thicker then 8 units.

The distance you can wallbang will vary depending on whether the wall is a world brush or an entity (func_detail, func_brush, etc.) It's been a while since I tested it, but if I remember correctly, a sniper can shoot through a 32 unit thick world brush but only though 8 unit thick func_details, so that adds another layer of consideration. Props with concave collision models are also quite annoying. The nuke truck is a good example: You can wallbang outwards from the inside, but not from the outside in. If I'm understanding the technical explanation correctly, the game is basically checking the area behind the first impact for the bullet trajectory, sees that there's a 2nd bit of collision it would hit, and applies the "you can't shoot through two surfaces" logic to it, causing zero penetration, and no damage to any infected inside. However, if you stand inside the truck and shoot at an infected outside of it, it penetrates just fine.

The funny thing about Source Engine Bullet Penetration is that most Source Games have bullet penetration. CS:S has it. DoD:S has it. Left 4 Dead has it. Honestly, it's easier to count the series that *don't* have it than it is to count the series that do, those being Half-Life and Team Fortress. Actually, I wonder if Alien Swarm has bullet penetration.

Is it possible the vines model acts as more "thickness" (with or without collision) causing the bullets not to penetrate in that spot?

I believe the vines are set as non-solid so they won’t affect it? It still went through on the other wall with vines, so it could be that specific vine model is still solid

Someone said in another comment that a wall being a func_detail instead of a world brush actually makes it harder to penetrate. I checked in the map editor, and both walls are the same thickness, but one was a func_detail and the other one wasn't.

That graph you showed ~5 minutes in has to be wrong. I know for a fact the scout does more damage than the military sniper because the scout can 1-shot spitters with a body shot while the military sniper (and presumably the hunting rifle as well but I don’t know 100%) cannot. I am certain this is the case; I’ve spent way too much time playing mall atrium survival lol. The only other explanation is that the gun you are referring to when you say “scout” isn’t the one im thinking of? But if that’s the case you should also put that gun on there. The gun I’m talking about (which almost certainly is the scout) is the one that was added to the mall atrium survival level that you can pick up on the ground far away from the main kiosk that has the other 4 guns. It’s a bolt action sniper that has a slow fire rate.

Still remember an instance of my most random wallbang kill in L4D2. It was in a Versus lobby with friends and I was using the Hunting Rifle on the Dead Air finale while being swarmed by a Horde, so I was naturally alternating between shoving and shooting. One of my rounds went thru a baggage trailer (the ones that can be punched by a Tank), getting a headshot on someone on the enemy team who just spawned behind said trailer as a Jockey, and instantly killed him.

The AK 47 is pretty good for bullet penetration, I use it sometimes if I can't get Ellis out of the charger's hand. Either that or a pipe bomb. This version of Source was always a little buggy, especially with the shadows like you mentioned there. Which is usually why I don't bother playing versus, because of the game is already kind of bs and broken in PvE, you bet your ass that it's going to be busted by big Bill and his buddy John spamming music on the chat while exploiting 15 year old bugs for an advantage.

Versus becomes really weird when the skill ceiling is raised really high, survivors basically become Gods because they have more options than specials. Comp modes like confogl aim to nerf survivors, but also change some cheesy stuff about specials. These modes are not good for beginners whatsoever, which probably showcases the genuis in designing a casual gamemode that can also work as a competitive gamemode with some rule changes.
