Help with Railgun bullet sprite

Post by Troedelboy »

Hello folks.
I got a problem using custom bullet sprites with the railgun turret. Half the bullet overshoots the impactpoint/ the point where it deals damage to a section. My guess is that you have to do something to a bullet sprite to make it compatible with the railgun.
Does anyone know how to "convert" a standard sprite to railgun compatible?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Extra space before the head of the bullet sprite very nearly the same length as the sprite itself, like a thrusterex sprite. In fact, I've used a few thruster gfx as railgun bullets and vice versa with good results. Make sure you add space in front instead of squishing the sprite shorter, too.

Tried it and it works like a charm! Thank you ^^
Advises For Soldiers on the front:
Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you.
Military Intelligence is a contradiction.
Killing for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Battle Cruisers are the ultimate close support weapon.
The Cavalry doesn't always come to the rescue.
Nuke is an area support weapon.
