↑ A demo by Grazza, recorded in PrBoom+ using v1.2 emulation (plays back with -complevel 0).Call of Duty has always been known as the first-person shooter that prizes realistic warfare above all else. Hitscan attacks hit invisible barriers in large open areas. While this appeared similar to a hitscan, it also had no capability of hitting an unintended target, and functioned like a long-ranged melee attack. If its target could be seen at all, it would be damaged. The lost soul in the press beta version of Doom used a direct damage telepathic attack consisting merely of a sight check. Some console ports, notably for the Sony PlayStation, retain the pre-v1.5 behavior, which they inherit from Jaguar Doom. This was changed to a range check in v1.5, consistent with the imp, cacodemon, and baron of Hell melee attacks. If the intended target is out of range, no actual attack takes place regardless of the attacking monster's animation.ĭemons used a short-range hitscan attack in Doom 1.4 and earlier versions, allowing for occasional demon-started infighting. Contrary to hitscan attacks, a range-checked melee attack has no ability to hit an unintended target. If the target of such an attack is within "melee range" of its target - 64 units in Doom - damage will be dealt directly and unavoidably. Monster melee attacks use a simple range check. For monster hitscans, the formula is ((P_Random()%5)+1)*3, returning a value which can be 3, 6, 9, 12, or 15. In Doom, player bullet damage is calculated as (P_Random ()%3+1)*5 this returns a value which can be 5, 10, or 15. 
Most of these determinations are done randomly. Damage determination is done separately from the process of scanning for a hit, and is calculated before the scan takes place. The BFG tracers have a range of 1024 units. Most hitscan attacks have a range of 2048 units. Up to Doom 1.4, demons used short-range hitscan attacks, but this was changed to range-checked direct damage in v1.5. The tracer rays from the BFG are also hitscan attacks. There are no projectiles involved, invisible or otherwise.Īll bullet attacks in Doom work like this, in addition to the player's fist and chainsaw weapons.
A hitscan attack is determined to either hit or miss a target instantaneously, and therefore cannot be dodged.
Hitscan attacks in the Doom engine are attacks which use an algorithm that traces a straight path from an origin at a given angle, collects intercepted objects along that path, and then determines the first line or thing hit.
