[Mutator] Sniper Hitdetection Fix for Beta 3

[RypeL]

Recently someone braught back to our attention that there is a serious hitdetection issue in Beta 3. Here is a thread with a video demonstrating the issue: viewtopic.php?f=120&t=72690

It turned out this can happen when shooting any chearacter arround chest height with an instant hit weapon like Snipers, the Pistol and i think even when healing a friendly with the repairgun. Since Beta 4 might still be a month or so away i came up with this Mutator so that server owners can fight this issue right now.

How to install:

1) Move the RxBeta3HitDetectionFix.u into the Renegade X\UDKGame\CookedPC folder

2) add "?mutator=RxBeta3HitDetectionFix.Rx_HitDetectionFix" to the starting command of your server.

So it should look something like this:

"udk server CNC-Walls_Flying?game=RenX_Game.Rx_Game?mutator=RxBeta3HitDetectionFix.Rx_HitDetectionFix"

You can add multiple mutators by concating them with "," like:

"?mutator=RxMineAndVehLimitMod.Rx_MineAndVehLimitMutator,RxHarvMod.Rx_Mutator_SmarterHarv,RxBeta3HitDetectionFix.Rx_HitDetectionFix"

This mutator (as all the other mutators ive released so far) wont be necessary anymore when Beta 4 comes out. So please remove it once you update your server to Beta 4.

I added the Sourcecode in case someone wants to see how it was done and how a mutator for Renegade X can look like.

Will this also fix the reticle flashing indicate a hit being registered, but not actually doing damage?

Or is that the same thing?

[RypeL]

Ya, same issue.

Just noticed that this issue was even bigger when the enemy your shooting at was crouched. With this mutator this should be completely fixed.
