The title says it all really, I'm working on a rifle and I just can't figure out what's causing it's outragous recoil (it causes the actor to fly away at a high velocity), mainly because I don't know what for sure what variables determine the recoil of the gun  I've guessed that the round used's mass is one of them, but I'm not so sure |

The round the gun fires is probably very heavy.

Projectile's mass, round velocity and quantity of projectiles all determine the recoil. If you want to by pass recoil, there are several ways to do it. One can be found on the Coalition sniper and heavy sniper. It fires an emitter that fires the actual rounds plus also some effect stuff. You can study that in coalition.rte. The other is making a TDExplosive that does the same as the emitter trick. Make the "TDE" object detonate immidiatly as it leaves the barrel and the momentum of the particles takes care of the rest. |

newtons 3rd law, but isn't there a variable to destroy recoil, no matter what? fireginorethis = 1, or emissionignorethis = 1 or something like that? |

On the subject of recoil, how can you get enemies to be pushed backwards? |

Kinetic particle spread or lua. |

It's determined by amount of rounds, mass of each round and fire velocity. So a 20 mass particle will produce insane recoil even if only fired at 20 velocity |

20 is very, very heavy. If you don't want to get complicated, use 2. |

I know this is just adding a question on to a question but, what determines the zoom length/radius (how far away you can aim) of a sniper rifile? Or of any gun for that matter. |

The wiki is a lot more helpful than you think, like I told this guy. |

I dunno about you, but I would probably fall backwards. Heh, I'm too used to screwing around with actors. An actor with 20 in mass is like nothing, so I forgot that I was in fact making a gun that would fire a tight spread of 5 rounds at a high rate of fire, meaning that the recoil would be horrendrous if every round weighed that muchAnyways, noticed that one myself, and I'm quite happy with the gun now, as I managed to preserve it's firepower. |
