"Shoot" range

[SynthAura]

I'm planning out my village and I want to build a second snipe-guard wall, what is the range someone can shoot from? I know aggro range is sight range but cant they shoot further than sight range if they already have you aggro'd?

Yes. The point of a snipe-proof wall is to allow you to safely AFK in your village, if you need to get away from a sniper who already aggro'd you just walk into a house.

I beleive its 51 tiles you can aggro and shoot someone...not 100% sure though

Yeah I heard the same thing but no one has really confirmed it. :/

Is there any pathing with ranged attacks? I mean does the game have any sense of what is between the shooter and the target? I still think it's retarded that walls provide no protection from sniping, especially nowadays with the custom clients with massive fields of view. Why couldn't the game detect a palisade or brickwall in the projectile path and reduce the effects of the hit or something? Not that archery isn't overpowered or anything (I think early and mid-game its underpowered), but the sniping thing has always been problematic.

Early and mid underpowered...?
You mean overpowered?
Late-game it could pierce nothing.

even weirder that you can be shot through a wall with a sling. this discussion has been had many times before, don't think walls will ever work the way they should...and by that I mean if there is a wall there you shouldn't be able to see(which would prevent you shooting) whats on the other side. honestly if you walk up to a wall you won't be able to see anything on the other side, and even if you climbed up the wall so you could see you wouldn't be able to shoot a bow/sling at someone on the other side if you're hanging on looking.

It's mostly lack of programming to implement line of sight/fog of war as well as trajectory clearance as the current range mechanics is basically immediate A to B and drawing a graphic vector line between two points.

Arksu did it with his game.

He has houses, where they were part of the same world, and you built and placed each wall section. If the house was complete then a roof showed on it, and things inside were 'hidden' as were things outside, if you were inside.

So it's not that it can't be done, just that it hasn't

once aggroed they can shoot further than drawing range, which is actually 41 tiles? no?
