KiLlEr Member	posted June 08, 2004 04:15 PM simple anwser, you can't. Colisions between projectiles and meshs are point to bounding box. Which menas that projectiles occupy a single point. You can use a powerup that gives negative health, but a kill by this method won't give a frag credit to the player that layed them. IP:

First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. IP:
TBIKingTiger23 Member	posted June 19, 2004 02:05 PM Killer- from waht i have seen you dont need the gravity at 0... The TM Engin does not recognise hill from plain when it comes to projectiles... so putting it at 0 gravity will only keep it on the ground. But thats what i have seen... IP:
