A friend asked me to help start a mod, and I ran into a problem quite early on. The request was for specific damage amount on a headshot.
This seemed like an easy goal, but has me stumped. What would be the proper way to detect a headshot? My first assumption was to check the "hitbox" or "hitgroup" members from the CGameTrace. After searching the SDK, this seemed to be the right method. CBasePlayer::TraceAttack checks the hitgroup there for scaling damage. The problem is, this just simply does not work for me. I added a simple console message to print the hitbox and hitgroup specified, and they ALWAYS show as 0. (Which explains why the different damage doesn't work.) I've not messed with modeling any however, loading the model in the model viewer, I can see the hitboxes are there... I'm starting to think there is something painfully obvious that I'm overlooking here. If someone could please give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
