Noticed something wierd
« on: January 28, 2017, 02:03:04 AM »
Not sure if to post this here but sometimes when I try to check6 someone I'm actually checking someone not within my range sight(6k). It checks a person way out of my range. This happend last night and previously. Anyone else noticed this?

You have to have a direct line of sight (nose directly pointed at player) and that player must be the only one around, otherwise if there are multiple players within "view" it will cycle through the players.

Yeah what we are speaking of though is the 6 call going to someone out of icon range though.  Basically saying..  giving 6 calls to someone we cannot even see.

It's cycling through the players the "front end" can see, not necessarily what the player can see visually.

AKAK who are you talking to a noob here?? Come on bro we know how check 6 works. What I'm trying to say is I can sometime check6 a player that's at a friendly base while I am all the way at the enemy base.

How far out of icon range are the?

I took a quick look at the code, and one of the check call the does he have an icon function.

You sure you aren't giving a check 6 to a player on the ground you can't see? I know that icon range shortens up if you have to dumb down your detail range to get good frames.

It was someone in the air. Happened again the other day when I tried to check6 a friendly guy and it ended up going out to a squady that was not in my icon range. I'm sure he was in the air because on the map his icon was a plane.
