I know this is a noob level question here, but where is the info held for the hitbox? The reason is this, I would like to see how its set up in darkplaces, and try to port some other code over to implement location damage on the player models (e.g. leg shot, head shot, etc...). After that, I'd like to try to figure out on how to add rotational forces dependent upon area of impact (e.g. spinning around some when shot in the arm or leg, possibly flipping on headshots, or falling faceward on footshot). I know it sounds crazy, but humor me. Thanks.

you can to some extent firure it out by checking where on the hitbox the shot struck. i added some simplpe head/toso/leg shot checks for the mod running on the MoN server, it could be expanded more.

i changed the FireRailgunBullet(...) function in w_common.qc like so:

Code: Select all

      // apply the damage
      if (ent.takedamage || ent.classname == "case")
          if(ent.classname == "player") {

                if(self.crouch)

                    f = 49 - ((hitloc_z - ent.origin_z) + 24);
                else
                    f = 69 - ((hitloc_z - ent.origin_z) + 24);

                if(f <= cvar("g_balance_nex_headshot_tresh")) {
                    deathtype = DEATH_HEADSHOT;
                    armor_blockpercent = armor_blockpercent * 0.5;
                    Damage (ent, self, self, bdamage * cvar("g_balance_nex_headshot_multiplier"), deathtype, hitloc, force,armor_blockpercent);
                } else {
                    if(f >= cvar("g_balance_nex_leg_tresh")) {
                        Damage (ent, self, self, bdamage * cvar("g_balance_nex_leg_mutiplier"), deathtype, hitloc , force ,armor_blockpercent);
                    } else {
                        Damage (ent, self, self, bdamage * cvar("g_balance_nex_torso_mutiplier"), deathtype, hitloc , force ,armor_blockpercent);
                    }
                }

            } else
...


the height og the hitbox is 69 qu, not sure abt the width.

thx 4 the info!
