Why are the projectiles not hitting me?

In the middle of making my 1 year old map I’ve [1]realised that while playtesting there are two max aim sentries that literally can’t hit us. This is not in the sense that there not accurate. The projectiles hit my Gims hitbox but I don’t take damage. The projectile doesn’t not carry on beyond the gim. It just evaporates into thin air. My ping is good, my WiFi is good. I’ve tested multiple times on different devices. Is there a way I can avoid this? It’s meant to be a boss fight but it doesn’t really work because the sentries can just be beaten without the player taking damage. Does anyone have ideas for a potential fix or am I stuck like this? My friend who is building with me experiences it as well. I’ll mark a solution and begone if this is unfixable. We are low on memory so we don’t want to even try pseudo projectiles, please don’t suggest it.

Hmm… have you tried substituting the gadgets? It may be that the gadgets that the sentry is using is a bit buggy. Also, have you tried deleting and re-adding the sentry (with the same settings)?

  1. Change this to Bugs
  2. Are any of the sentries working properly? If yes, delete the broken ones and replace them with with the functional ones. If not, delete them all and get new sentries

I’ve been looking a round on maps with gadgets and it happens there as well. I’ve done sentry checks and deletion/restoration. None are working properly. This might just be ur average Gimkit bug. I tried making some new ones in as test world and they are weird too. I tried QP and Eye and they were broken too. For some reason the glitch seems to be only when you’re hit in a few spots in the corner of the hitbox so maybe the hitbox is broken.

Check which team the sentry is on. It should be on team sentry, if you want it to be a boss.

If the sentry is still not hitting you then the server isn’t registering damage for some reason.

hi bird and happy birthday :3

is there a barrier or prop with collision in front of your gims? Are you on the same team as the sentry or a different one? Does this happen only with that sentry or does it happen with other sentries in your map/other maps? When did this start happening?

Maybe we can figure it out.

for some reason it hits me 10% percent of the time.I think its just a glitch with max accuracy

yup it was max accuracy was worse then very high.Try using very high instead

Ok, time to sort through the posts.

I spoke to some other friends off forums and we played together for a bit. They all had it in if they were it in the right spot. It was about 10 people [1] and they all took no damage if stood with the correct angle. Slim, it’s team sentry I’ve checked. No barrier or prop inside me or in front. Multiple sentries in various maps affected. This has been happening since early December but now it’s more common and is affecting my map as well. I think it’s just an angle thing so if anyone else has ideas post now before I speak to Gimkit to let the know and get it fixed. I tried on may brothers iPad too and it happened there too. [2] ok fine good. I was a bit worried.
