I'm seeing people shoot up or down with laser. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Either they are using pyramids to bounce them, or _shotsKeepVerticalVelocity is set to 1.
If neither of those are true, then we have a problem on our hands.

Exactly. the vertical velocity might be more and still shoot up and down...Were they jumping when they did this dandaniel?

The variable _shotsKeepVerticalVelocity is not one with varying degrees. It is either on or off, 1 or 0. Yes or no. So when you say
the vertical velocity might be more
that is not true. Vertical velocity is either on or off, no 'half' vert. velocity.
Games don't make people violent, lag does.

If you
think something, then why don't you just say:
Exactly. I think the vertical velocity might be more and still shoot up and down...

With _shotsKeepVerticalVelocity set to '1' the vertical velocity of your tank is transfered to the shot velocity. If you jump up the shots rise, if you are falling the shots will angle down. It can be very handy. Of course you could have seen a simple ricochete of the laser off of an object.
