Shooter game of some kind

A long time spent trying to fix the previously mentioned vector math. The issue was trying to get the end of a raycast even when it’s not hitting anything. After trying and failing to do it dynamically using the raycast’s target and transforms, I just gave up and put a marker3d at the end of the ray. I get the marker’s position, and thats the end of the ray. The video below is of the problem, where the ray doesn’t quite line up with where I am looking. The little red flares are where the math said I was looking.

Got the railgun’s beam almost completely done. When shooting at a solid object, it appropriately goes from your camera to the point. When you point up, away from solid objects, it somehow gets harder. You’d think that I could just get the length of the raycast I’m using, and get a point that far away in the direction the player is looking, and draw the beam to that spot. I tried that. It doesn’t work. I don’t know why, but for some reason part of the spawning process that spawns it at the midpoint is breaking. I think it’s related to me getting that point. I’m not sure. The amount of time I have spent on this one tiny function is unreasonable. its probably half of the time for this log

I made a cool looking railgun effect that emits light. Admittedly, I did have to use AI to help with the light placement and shaders. I have no idea how shaders work. Next step is getting it to line up with the player as they shoot it.

I got some material development done, and started on the shooting mechanics. I’m not really finalizing any sort of art style, partly because I suck at that. I did play around with some global illumination, but I can’t figure out how to make it work with dynamic objects. I configure the VoxelGI correctly according to the docs, but it doesn’t work. I also discovered a bug in my implementation of bunny hopping, where you can get ridiculous velocities. (see the video)
