High Speed Tracer #119

Closed anormaltwig closed 11 months ago

anormaltwig commented 1 year ago

Basically a better high speed ranger since the high speed ranger is pretty useless with its limited values.

thegrb93 commented 1 year ago

Why not update the wire ranger instead of making a new entity that does the same thing?

anormaltwig commented 1 year ago

the high speed ranger or the trace gate?

Either way, I didn't really think the high speed memory thing fit any of the current ranger gates very well with how their outputs are laid out aside from maybe the trace gate.

thegrb93 commented 11 months ago

High speed ranger, this is really similar to that. https://github.com/wiremod/wire-extras/blob/master/lua/entities/gmod_wire_hsranger/init.lua

thegrb93 commented 11 months ago

Can we not just improve the highspeed ranger instead of creating this new thing?

anormaltwig commented 11 months ago

The highspeed ranger already has it's own thing for tracing with the skew x and y, I didn't want to change it to break any previous builds that might use it.

Adding new memory addresses for the capabilities that this has would just make it confusing and overcomplicated.

thegrb93 commented 11 months ago

I don't think adding new addresses would hurt it

anormaltwig commented 11 months ago

Any ideas on how I should integrate all the new ones into the ranger then?

thegrb93 commented 11 months ago

Just do whatever looks best without modifying the existing ones
