When you shoot someone and see the X indicating a hit, is that decided by the shooter's computer, the server or the target's computer?

Well it's not from the taget's computer, as you get the X on single player.

the server would be my guess.. it syncs and determines if your bullet hit or not..

but its only guessing..

Server I think....

But does it really matter? - all you need to know is that if you see the "x"''s, then the shots are registering.

That's actuallly the point of the question.  Does seeing the X guarantee that you actually were credited for the hit? 

If my computer generates the X, it uses the location of the target when I shoot.  But the target could actually have moved without that being sent to my computer in time.  So I see the X even though the target wasn't truly there anymore.

Server i would imagine as they can turn the X or hit indicator off.

Hit reg. is server side.  Unless you are on single player, which is why there is no hitbox lag when you TV in singleplayer.

An 'x' ALWAYS means you've hit the target. So i'm guessing its the server.

the X is sent by the server to indicate a registered hit.  If you fire into someone and it doesn't reg you get no x.

I'm saying that it isn't from another persons PC, if you get the Hit indicator on SINGLE PLAYER (No actual person behind their screen) then that must it's from the server.

It is from the server. In the server settings (RCON, not Daemon) you can set the hit indicator.

End of discussion!
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
