Ack, if you don't give away the details i'd be happy to tell you how i'm doing this. I suspect it won't be a secret forever. You can simply confirm as an unbiased source that i'm NOT exploiting and it's well within the game mechanics as they stand right now.

EDIT: forgot to add the NOT when i said exploiting rofl

You can....but that may give too much of a hint. Not sure if anyone on these boards would pick up on it though.........

Well you seem to be hinting that this is not a special weapon, ability, attachment and such, just a matter of game mechanics

Is the range to the target plotted along the Z-Axis or the X-Axis (does any one know?)

I was thinking that maybe if range to target is plotted on the X-Axis that would have a shorter distance to the target than the Line of Sight (which seems to be plotted on the Z-Axis)

So if ya got a rifleman perched up on a hill say 25m above the flat ground and is at max normal range, hes 65m from the target along the X-Axis but hes 90m out on the Z-axis, so if the game calculates distance based on X-axis distance you are in range even though you are farther away as far as line of sight is concerned. (this is calculating the range on the Z-axis using good ol A^2+B^2=C^2.)

it would be weird that the game would calculate range based on the X-axis alone but seeing as how the game USED to let you shoot through the middle of a hill, that seems at least feasible. and since the game has been modified post CU to enforce line of sight rules, it also seems plausible that a second value could be governing the LOS. (we have known for a long time that SWG does not have a fully implemented Z-Axis)

You said its definatley NOT a Z-axis thing but it sure could be an X-axis thing

Just a guess at any rate..prolly wrong but I tried ;-)

In which case I think one of these theories would pay off (in order from least likely to greatest):

1. Carbineers charge shot possibly. It moves you forward a distance (or used to)
2. SL's get a beam rifle right? Does that have LoS AoE (it goes through the target and hits anything behind it)
2. A commando weapon that has a peneterating attack or AoE and is able to be fired from 65m typically 80m with the arms and has a 15m radius on attack

Hehe, considering you posted on the Commando forums asking about longest range AoE weaps I'm gonna decide my last theory is probably correct
