btw how must look tracing bullet in the game... Like this?

[IMG]http://img94.**************/img94/5276/aimmap0000l.th.jpg[/IMG]

Cause it's not very traceable from gamer's point of view Real tracing bullet leaves slow trail
I don't know the code in the plugin but I suppose that not every fired bullet is traced... Please explain

yea the plugin is just a test for now until I get approval to release it as a full fledged plugin. Right now it only creates a tracer 20% of the time. The tracers can not be seen by the person shooting unless they are moving. The effect is mainly for large gun battles on things like zm servers. So not seeing your own tracers is actually good to help see what is going on.

Also this is not really meant to be a real life tracer effect just an improved sm version with some effect updates of the mb_tracer es script. If I was going for a real effect I would have at least made it red.

I think (note that I'm not a programmer, just have some asm practice) the best simple and fastest implementation is to store two variables - one for bullet hit coord, one for bullet start coord, and 1% to 5% parabolic animation between them. Damn, just watch some trace-bullet footages...

oh I could make real ones if I wanted to but like I said I was making one that was similar to the mb_tracer plugin. To make one that looks real I would need to figure out the formula to create a parabola on an xyz axes.
