Birds hitbox

[Amanitasec]

Howdy,

 

Yesterday I was playing vanila 7dtd 20.6 (b9) and have some issues with hiting sleeping bird on the roof -> https://youtu.be/gFvJMR9yqPU?t=491 (from 8:11 till 8:26). 

Am I blind, and doing bad aiming, or hitbox for bows & birds are bugged? With pipe gun it looks about right.

Primitive bows have quite a bit of deviation in the arrow flights, if you look close your arrows were either going below it through its feet or on the bottom right.

Oh so it was bad aiming. Was not aware of this bow deviation. I was sure that if I am in range of bow, the arrow will hit whenever I aim. First time I was struggling so hard to hit still target. Thanks for the info.

as i was already doing a video showing this i see where jugg has commented.

 

as he says there are variences with low level items but as i show with my level 1 bow and no perks nor mods.. i one shot them with no issue.
 

you can drop console and type showhits 1 to turn a tracer on so you can see where you are actually hitting.

 

 

 

showhits <time> <size>

Shows the impact location of weapons. Size is the width in cm. Suggest starting with size .05 Time is in seconds, how long the hit markers are displayed. Default = 10.

I never had problems with bow, even with long range shooting without any skills, primitive items ect  like here -> https://youtu.be/3JjrZfuErrM?t=3510 thats why I was so surprised with so many misses in a row.

I have had this happen with guns as well, though it has been a while since it happened and that might have been in 20.5... not certain.  Now I seem to almost always hit, so either something changed or I just got better at knowing where to aim.  Probably the latter. Lol.

 

It may also have been that it happened with pipe guns, which I never use anymore, so that may also be the difference.  I don't remember exactly what I was using other than a hand gun.
