Gun Flash

[MauroVega]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):As we all know in the movies when the marines start firing(any gun)there is a gun flash,the most obvious one being the M41A and the M56

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Some inmersion as well as some effects when fighthing in caves

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Stated above

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): No idea(if this is not possible or to hard just lock and ignore)

This was developed in a different server and was already suggested.

But yeah,gun flashes would be nice.

Might as well make a small light effect as well.

It was suggested? weird i searched the words "gun" and "flash" and nothing appeared

[username123]

from a player perspective i like the idea, but from a dev perspective i don't because this will cause a lot of lag, in high pop, assaults are almost unplayable because of all those bullets flying over the map, bullet cassings dropped to the floor and magazines too, all this produce a LOT of lag and if we add a a flash for every time a marine shots his gun, assaulting will be nearly impossible to play. I only see this viable if the rework of the bullets that abby is developing reduces a good a mount of lag, but adding this right now will not be beneficial to the server, so, it's a -1 from me if we only add the flashes, but +1 if we add other things that would reduce the lag of the server in high pop rounds.

What other server?

And we don't need flash graphics, just make it light up like a flashlight for a split second.

It was in new bay code I think as someone from some time ago posted the idea.

But yeah,the split second lights from firing guns would be nice.

[Edgelord]

If it doesn't lag then +1

[Jeser]

Well, it would be nice ONLY if it has NO effect on server. Because if it will cause even a very little lag, fuck that feature. Huge assaults will be nightmares.

[MrJJJ]

If it doesn't lag then +1

same as me

[Jack McIntyre]

I think this was suggested and turned down due to it causing lag to the server it was that or bullets actually being shown in flight, either way, I am the same way, if it doesn't cause lag then +1 otherwise going to have to say save us from the lag!

Got them now.
