onActionProjectile is too sensitive
 

So I have been playing around with shoot and onActionProjectile on a modern server I have been working on and have noticed that onActionProjectile gets called if the bullet is very close to the player, why would it do this? This can be very annoying if the bullet doesn't actually hit you and you take damage.... What would be the best way to overcome this? I don't think there are coods from the projectile which are sent along with it???

If it doesn't hit you on your screen, it shouldn't call onActionProjectile on your client. That stuff is all handled clientside.

I think he means the fact that projectiles have the collision box of a character(which is much larger than a bullet, I guess).

I don't think that's true, though. You can fire projectiles through a 1 tile opening.

This is not the best demo video, but these custom projectiles I made a while back perfectly mimicked the default projectiles' collision patterns.

The hitbox of a projectile is defined by the graphics used in the gani of the projectile, I believe.

Iirc the dimensions of a projectile are 16 x 16 pixels.

I don't think onActionProjectile() is actually consistent with seeing the projectile hit your character's 32 x 32 pixel blocking area though, which is necessary for onActionProjectile2() to be invoked.
