supershots

Great question,Guzman.

The first time i've ever heard of it though was from Derek,once we were chatting on msn and he told me about it(when the old electrotank was running) but he made clear that it didnt worked on multiplayer.

Now that what you're saying makes lots of sense,maybe there are more hints hidding in there that we havent discovered yet

Well, I remember at Slingo, i'd just played Mig and he was telling me about how he managed to get -31 or something. Of course I replied with, HOW THE FOOK! And he told me the secret, then when I was talking to Supa over messenger, I told him how. He seemed shocked like hell, so I'm pretty sure it was the first he'd heard about them.

So i'd have to say Miguel discovered them, but it was me that gave them the name 'supershots' (not that it matters, lol)

Wow,then im totally wrong,but i can assure you that im not the one who found about it,i know,for sure that i was told about how to make them

Ksbunker · Expert Golfer

I vaguely recall you saying, don't tell anyone about this as only you and I know about it, hopefully the electrotank scoreboard will get fixed and we can rule it.

I might be dreaming or imagining this or even wrong completely, its really not important when you think about it, lol

Your memory is not failling you,KS.

I remember it like if it was yesterday,but the only reason i said that was (as i said before) that the person who told me about it made a point of letting me know that it was good for nothing,cuz it only worked offline.

Wow,now its coming to me,it was a kid who couldnt even make a score of -26,....wait....ouch,as soon as i remember who that was i'll let you know.

I remember telling Miguel, and then ks when u told me I thought u got them to work online thats why i was shocked, someone told me but i do not remember who

Miguel34 · Expert Golfer / Moderator

Sorry to burst your bubble Supa but KS is right,someone told me about it,(still cant remember the damn name),then one ..(night here)maybe day in Australia,on slingo i told KS about it,actually it was on the same game that i told him a tunnel for hole 14 and he told me another shot

PS:If you and KS were sharing all the shots i dont see how he didnt knew about it when i told him

SupaGolfa · -29 Golfer

sharing shots, not supershots, it was such a long time ago no one can remember for sure, all I know is that I was told by, I have no idea

Miguel34 · Expert Golfer / Moderator

Same here,LOL,i bet they'd sent someone from electrotank to tell us about it,hahahaha,they couldnt believe we havent found them yet

I have no idea, I've been playing the game for ever but have only really become a big timer within the past year. It was Ravinator who originally told me, but it was already quite commonly known by then.

Can't say I ever noticed about the up and right on instructions, but I'd guess it's just coincidence. I wonder if the first person discovered it by pure chance or if they looked in the source code of the game or something.

function shoot(rot, factor, shotType) {
if (shotType == 'manual' && ballNumber != myBallNumber || shotType != 'manual') {
stopped = false;
_parent.setStrokeText(ballNumber);
maxSpeed = 14;
if (key.isDown(key.UP) && key.isDown(key.RIGHT) && _parent.version != 'mplayer') {
maxSpeed = 20;

That's what does the magic.

ummm actionscript *drools*

SupaGolfa · -29 Golfer

lol you computer geeks

lol

Ksbunker · Expert Golfer

it doesn't actually say UP and Right it says 38 (UP) and 39 (RIGHT), because it uses VKeys (virtual keys) where keys are represented via number, not that it matters, but yeh..

actionscript is where all the flash goodies are stored! how do think flooding programs, scoreboard hacks, itsagame, etc... have been made in the past, just by viewing the AS

if (shotType == 'manual' && ballNumber != myBallNumber || shotType != 'manual') {
stopped = false;
_parent.setStrokeText(ballNumber);
maxSpeed = 14;
if (key.isDown(key.UP) && key.isDown(key.RIGHT) && _parent.version != 'mplayer') {
maxSpeed = 20;

how did u find these codes???

and from 'maxspeed = 14, and maxspeed = 20', does the first one mean normal shot, second one mean supershot???? and does that mean supershots arent twice faster than normal shotS??
