TF2 mini tut: Shotguns (tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads)

[Demon_Hunter]

TF2 mini tut

Right, in this mini tut I will show you the diffrence between normal shotgun spread and fixed shotgunspread. aka the tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads command.


Right, on this screenshot you can see two different shots with the scattergun.
On the left you see the shot with random spread. As you can see the the shots are random in a certain area.
On the right you see the shot with the fixed spread, here you can see that the shots are placed in a "square". and will always come out of the barrel at the same angle.
(Screenshots has been resized for the purpose of this tutorial)


-The main reason for this command is that the shotgun is VERY random without it.
but since they probably didnt want to change the more or less random pub play of tf2, they decided to add a command for this aswell. This command is now used in etf2l. and probably every other league.

And here is another screenshot displaying this with the shotgun for the soldier.
Normal on the right. Fixed on the left.

Main reason behind this mini tut, was that some think that "shotgun spread" and "nospread". is the same thing. But it is not... Zebbo for an example
And 1 more reason is that this command was added rather recently.
sorry for any bad grammar and such.
Feel free to comment. and add more info about the command. (tough let the comment be about the subject)

Nice tut deo. It could use some shots from longer range to really see the difference though.
