the PostDrawOpaqueRenderables hook doesnt seem to work so we dont see any tracers, will you repair it

this mod could be better if you will add hl2 tracer particles to projectile

can you add a bullet speed multiplier? That changes the speed of all bullets? The bullets are way slower than IRL so that'd be pretty nice

if you get shot in a car you get yeeted across the map

so this doesn't work for NPC?

make an option to not replace the hitscan bullet tracer effects

But only one problem when I fire the guns I do not see the bullet flying.

well this will make realistic gmod better.

Seems like the hitscan is kept. We just have an projectile bullet along with it.

Seems to be the case for HL2 weapons.

yes

it works for mw base weapons?

you should check if you also have physical bullets mod enabled

it works but hl2 guns shoot two bullets at a time. suggestions?

Oh okay for the info, thanks

@Jaguar-zxz Are you playing in a singleplayer game, or multiplayer?

Try creating a new multiplayer game instead of singleplayer. In singleplayer, the CLIENT global variable always returns false and the PostDrawOpaqueRenderables hook is never called. I was having the same issue in my tests.

I cant see the bullet, is there settings?

@CyberMassacre fixed

@mei You're the bomb!

@CyberMassacre Not currently, but I will update it today and add that feature. I am aware that some melee weapons use the FireBullets function, and pass a bullet structure with short distance and tracer's disabled as an argument. I will have it read from that.

This is very well done! - Sorry if that has been answered before, but is there currently any way to hide the tracers and projectile itself and just keep the ballistics themselves? Thank you

You are missing a comma after the "comment" key in the table
try:
{
"class": {
"drop": 0.01,
"speed": 100.0
},
"comment": "this is an example. class is the class name of the weapon entity. speed and drop are measured in meters/second",
"astw2_gow_lancer_locust": {
"drop": 0.01,
"speed": 100.0
}
}

{
"class": {
"drop": 0.01,
"speed": 100.0
},
"comment": "this is an example. 'class' is the class name of the weapon entity. 'speed' and 'drop' are measured in meters/second"

"astw2_gow_lancer_locust": {
"drop" : 0.01,
"speed": 100.0
}

}

I done scripting with other engines before, how should this be formatted? I want to add all my weapons to this.

Ensure that it is formatted correctly
and doesn't have any unnecessary commas. JSON isn't very forgiving. An extra comma at the end of the table will cause it to fail and return nil.

okay, what do I use to edit it?

@Journey's End
I did some testing to recreate this issue.
The error you are experiencing is caused by improper JSON formatting. Make sure you modify the JSON file correctly.
The variable 'tbl' is nil only because util.JSONToTable failed and returned nil

[Projectile Bullets] lua/autorun/projectile_bullets.lua:33: attempt to index local 'tbl' (a nil value)
1. ReadCFG - lua/autorun/projectile_bullets.lua:33
2. v - lua/autorun/projectile_bullets.lua:62
3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:96
4. FireBullets - [C]:-1
5. ShootBullets - lua/weapons/astw2_base/attacks.lua:189
6. unknown - lua/weapons/astw2_base/attacks.lua:66

okay nvm the config has the option but how you do it without causing errors?

eh is it possible to add compatabillity it just made my bullets hitscan again when before the update they were not.

awesome

@Zekkriel fixed

O tnks o think this is a bullet drop mor

this mod makes bullets not push props for some reason

compatible with ArcCw?

Is it compatible with TFA and Scripted NPCs?

thank you @Zekkriel.

@Yeet Lord >:3 You can now configure bullet speed/drop for individual weapons in "garrysmod/data/projectile_bullets/config.json"

The drop is 1 and the speed is 700.

I kinda messed up with the settings, so can anyone please tell me what are the default settings again? Sorry.

damn, this would go well with airsoft guns

Would be awesome to have some way to adjust the velocities based on ammo type

darn, can't see the bullets, no matter how slow

@Gem There isn't a tracer in the gif, it's actually the projectile. If you slow down the bullet speed enough, you will be able to see it.
I'm plan on adding tracers tonight though.

@aebaadcode Yes, NPC's also shoot projectile bullets

do npcs also shoot projectile bullets?

Is there a way to add tracers like in the gif?

@gigabloxersaurus @Ocean fixed

default setting speed is so fast, they go past walls and people when you're very near them. I can just adjust my settings but default is very off putting

the bullets can go past some enemies like vj npcs, i tested this on super combine and the projectile bullets dont hit the head hitbox

Math for calculating meters/second to units/tick is now fixed
You may have to change your ConVars for a more realistic effect
I recommend setting speed to 700, and drop to 1(AK-47 muzzle velocity)

@jp4 @Holynoobs
fixed

there is. check for bullet distance
