Title: What am I Doing Wrong???
Post by: Claret_Mahoney on October 19, 2008, 11:20:00 AM
Alot of time I'll unload 4-5 clips from my Micro SMG on a guy and his health won't go down, yet he is able to kill me even though I have full armor and he has none.

I know about lag and all that, my ping is typically 140-150. This just doesn't seem like lag though. I know I've been told not to pay attention to the blood or apparent hits, only the health bar, but it's a bit frustrating when the health isn't going down and I've used 150 bullets.

Also how do you people play SA-MP? I am using a Logitech USB controller. Alot like a PS2 Controller, pretty much the same. I've noticed some of you have ridiculously good aim, how are you aiming so well. Another thing...alot of times I get killed by drive by's and the guy may not even be parallel with me, he is a few feet ahead of me but yet his bullets angle back on me like he has me targeted...it's unreal...and of course I die.

Also is there anyway you can mod a car and then save it for when you come back? Doubt it eh?

Anything else that you people think would help me...tips and such...

Hello there.
(https://littlewhiteys.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi282.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk260%2FIDmad%2Fsa-mp-017-1.png&hash=d491c9b2a0bb2ce5d6067f68b67f42cc580d29b5)
I think I saw u yesterday at lw's and I noticed u didn't really lead aim with your uzis. I recommend u to use keyboard and mouse instead of a controller. With mouse u're much more accurate and u can lead aim better.
Here's a vid I think u should see:

But remember that hitbox(the place where u shoot to make damage) depends on many things: ping, fps lag and bunch of other things all together but u can get a hint of one's hitbox by looking at his ping. The bigger the ping the more u need to lead aim.
Here's also a vid made by me if u want to see how much I lead aim:

Hope this helped  ;)

First DONOT use a controller -Two reasons for this -
(a) I presume ur using auto aim (which wont work with/on samp) cus of lead aim (which idmad hs pointed out)
(B) The "controller bug" which means most bullets another player shoots will hit u (i hada controller once, everyone i knew could kill me)

No way of saving cars,

Also how do you people play SA-MP? I am using a Logitech USB controller.

On a PC in a room o.0

Also i have that controller for other games - nice choice lol :D

Hope the tips help -
As idmad says use a keyboard and mouse for samp - otherwise u will die soooo many times (though the controller is gd for driving)

ugh i actually was posting the exact same thing as you but you posted it first.

Ya, controller bug is a killer, FE if I were to deliberately not aim at you and at someone else, I'd still kill you.

D:

also don't do what that IDnub was doing in that 2nd vid as it's illegal here and you can get banned for it.

mouse and kb > all

Yeah I'm using default too (I guess most players do so).
I only switched the buttons for jumping and sprinting.

I also use shift to sprint, instead of spacebar :p (maybe that's why I fail!)

try leaving sprint space, caps as jump, and Lshift as get in/out of car..

That would be so weird to get use to!! I use the VC defaults bc I started VCMP first, then got use to the keys and moved on to SAMP!

Holy shit using KB and mouse and trying out this lead aim thing, it really improves my game, it's incredible. Much more fun as well. Thanks guys!!
