Shooting bow from horse bugged?

Postby Redell » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:28 pm

I was riding around with my horse and saw a boar to kill, aimed and shot, but hit horse in the back of the head resulting in me getting stomped.
Intended or bug?

This actually makes sense from a realism standpoint.

Because horse archers didn't exist, right?

Not to mention an arrow to the back of the head would have killed the horse if you want to argue "realism"

Yeah hopefully they fix this. I can kinda understand why they gimped boat archery, but horse archery outta be a thing, and you shouldn't suffer penalties firing from an unmoving horse.

Toppest of keks.

The horse and boat bounding boxes block arrows just as any other ones would. This is, indeed, unintended, but I'm not sure how easy it is to fix, and w/e, so I'm not sure when we'll get around to fixing it.

Would hardcoding an exception for each individual transportation method (currently horses and boats), in terms of hitboxes, be out of the question?

Perhaps move the arrow's starting point of calculation to one that's exactly outside the horse/boat (as if your char would be standing on the edge of each of the 8 directions touching the end of the hitbox, adjusting the ultimate final range of the shot proportional to the distance difference.

It might not be out of the question but that sort of thing is sloppy implementation, better to make it work right.
