A victim of small object physics. |

Not just vine arrows: many arrows do this, it's just you don't get to see most of them falling out of mid-air. I spawned a lot of arrows in mid-air last month doing testing for Moonbo's beta. That said, I don't ever remember seeing rope arrows or broken broadheads skipping about, and they regularly fall to the ground in game. Now that I can step through engine code in the debugger I'll do some investigation. |

Paradoxically, this is fixed with com_fixedTic 1 in 2.06 |

I tried com_fixedTic 1 in 2.06 and the behavior is still there. |

The only two arrows that exhibit this behavior are the noisemaker and the vine arrow. While a case could be made that it's okay for the noisemaker to bounce around (it's trying to attract the attention of nearby AI), both bouncing and not bouncing would be fine. Broadhead - breaks on a "dud" surface; the 2 broken parts lay still Water - breaks Fire - explodes Rope - breaks on a "dud" surface; the 2 broken parts lay still Gas - breaks Noisemaker - bounces around Moss - spews moss patches Vine - bounces off a non-vine-friendly surface, bounces around |

Changed three spawnargs on the vinearrow: "mass" "5" "bouncyness" "0.30" "friction" "0.27" Now the arrow bounces and slides for a few seconds at most before coming to rest. Not optimal, but at least it stops. Rev. 14912. |
