Hello Community,
I'm trying to make a Explosive Shotgun for Gta IV.
The only problem is that the Projectile which is shooten only flies 10 Meters and is then affected extremly by gravity which means that the Explosive round doesnt want to fly further than max. 20 Meters.


Here is the Code for the Explosive Shotgun and its Projectile it should fly way further than just 20Meters

CODE

<weapon type="EPISODIC_8">  <data slot="SHOTGUN" firetype="PROJECTILE" damagetype="EXPLOSIVE" group="SHOTGUN" targetrange="1500.0" weaponrange="1500.0" clipsize="20" ammomax="9999" timebetweenshots="133">   <damage base="30" networkplayermod="2.5" networkpedmod="1.25"/>   <reload time="2066" fasttime="1166" crouchtime="2066"/>   <aiming accuracy="0.06">    <offset x="0.16" y="1.0" z="0.44"/>    <crouchedoffset x="0.16" y="1.0" z="0.0"/>    <reticule standing="1.0" ducked="1.0" scale="0.0"/>   </aiming>   <pickup regentime="6000" ammoonstreet="80"/>   <controller>    <rumble duration="90" intensity="0.1"/>   </controller>   <flags>    <flag>GUN</flag>    <flag>CAN_AIM</flag>    <flag>2HANDED</flag>    <flag>ANIM_RELOAD</flag>    <flag>CAN_FREE_AIM</flag>    <flag>ANIM_CROUCH_FIRE</flag>   </flags>   <projectile>    <typetocreate type="EPISODIC_18"/>    <offset x="0.5" y="0.0" z="0.5"/>    <rotoffset x="0.0" y="0.0" z="-1.5"/>    <physics force="200"/>   </projectile>  </data>  <assets model="w_aa12">   <anim group="gun@baretta"/>   <effects>    <muzzle fx="muz_shotgun"/>    <shell fx="weap_ejected_shotgun"/>   </effects>  </assets> </weapon> <weapon type="EPISODIC_18">  <data slot="THROWN" firetype="PROJECTILE" damagetype="EXPLOSIVE" targetrange="10000.0" clipsize="1">   <damage base="30" networkplayermod="2.0" networkpedmod="1.0"/>   <physics force="20"/>   <aiming accuracy="0.0">    <offset x="0.0" y="1.0" z="0.0"/>    <crouchedoffset x="0.0" y="1.0" z="0.0"/>    <reticule standing="0.65" ducked="0.55" scale="0.1"/>   </aiming>   <pickup regentime="0" ammoonstreet="8"/>   <controller>    <rumble duration="0" intensity="0.0"/>   </controller>   <flags>    <flag>EXPLOSION_BASED_ON_IMPACT</flag>   </flags>   <projectile type="IMPACT">    <explosion type="EPISODIC_3"/>    <physics force="3000" vehiclevelocity="7000" explodeimpactthreshold="0.2" explodeimpactwithvehiclethreshold="0.2"/>   </projectile>  </data>  <assets model="w_grenade">  </assets> </weapon>

Also you need to add this to you explosinFx.dat

CODE

EPISODIC_3  100.0  50.0  2.0  1.0  1.5    50.0  -1.0  11.0  0.0005   0.0  0.0  exp_fireball  exp_fireball_air 0.5  0 0 0.0 0.0 0.015 EPISODIC_8 0  1.0 0.75 0.2 60.0 3.5 0.15 0

I hope you guys can help me so that the Projectile flies faster and further and sry for my bad english

Here is a Video which shows the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...&v=M-sA_i8XgIM#!
as you can see in the video the Explosive Rounds is affected by gravity and flies very slow

it will be great if someone have the source c/c++ off it for playing online becuse its god patched it will be great.

ok i found out that when you spawn the Projectile Episodic Weapon 18 and "Throw" it that it is not affected by Gravity effects and flies as fast as a Weapon's Bullet so it has something to do with the weapon itself (Episodic 8) which is the AA12 in my case
