Make the bullet shoot at the crosshair??

This is for my third person over the shoulder mod.

Basically i want the bullet to hit at where the crosshair is and only were the crosshair is.


I found
Vector CBasePlayer::Weapon_ShootPosition( )

But I am clueless I have spent a few hours wondering around and got no where.

How would I go about making the bullet hit where the crosshair is?

Please don't go off topic!

Shoot position is where the bullet starts iat. You want to affect the angle its fired at, which iirc is specified in each weapon's primary attack function

Alright I see that.

		pPlayer->entindex(),
		pPlayer->Weapon_ShootPosition(),
		pPlayer->EyeAngles() + pPlayer->GetPunchAngle(),

But now I'm confused?

Any Help?

It's probably staring at me right in the face.

And yes I did look at

void CHudCrosshair::Paint( void )
{
	if ( !m_pCrosshair )
		return;

	if ( !IsCurrentViewAccessAllowed() )
		return;

	m_curViewAngles = CurrentViewAngles();
	m_curViewOrigin = CurrentViewOrigin();

	float x, y;
	x = ScreenWidth()/2;
	y = ScreenHeight()/2;

	// MattB - m_vecCrossHairOffsetAngle is the autoaim angle.
	// if we're not using autoaim, just draw in the middle of the 
	// screen
	if ( m_vecCrossHairOffsetAngle != vec3_angle )
	{
		QAngle angles;
		Vector forward;
		Vector point, screen;

		// this code is wrong
		angles = m_curViewAngles + m_vecCrossHairOffsetAngle;
		AngleVectors( angles, &forward );
		VectorAdd( m_curViewOrigin, forward, point );
		ScreenTransform( point, screen );

		x += 0.5f * screen[0] * ScreenWidth() + 0.5f;
		y += 0.5f * screen[1] * ScreenHeight() + 0.5f;
	}

	m_pCrosshair->DrawSelf( 
			x - 0.5f * m_pCrosshair->Width(), 
			y - 0.5f * m_pCrosshair->Height(),
			m_clrCrosshair );
}

You could either re-position the crosshair by shooting a traceline and putting it at the end, or you'll have to use some trigonometry where the shooting-angles are determined as you've probably re-positioned and rotated the camera.

Yea I made it so the crosshair goes with the eye angles it works but it is ultimately useless in gameplay and it makes it hard to aim at someone without the crosshair jittering around.

P.S it shouldn't be hard!
I should be able to just put some offsets in to center it right in the middle of the screen!

Did you align it with the eyeangles or really shot a traceline? Because the fix (or whatever you wanna call it) on VALVe's wiki suggests using a traceline.

EyeAngles.

Hmmm where on the wiki?
Can you link me?

Sure. Here.

Yea I have done that but the only thing is that it results in the crosshair jumbling around and not staying put, it makes it hard to actually shoot and kill people, especially headshots.

Anyways to stabilize that?

You could store the old crosshair-position and interpolate like this (always only adding a maximum-clamped value), but of course the aim would be a bit delayed; so depending on how well this would work you have to do some trig in the shooting-angle.
