Head shot damage increase

Is there also a way to increase the damage ratio from critical hits on infantry?
Code: Select all
MaxDamage = ""Page 1 of 1

i think i recall seeing it in the unit odf, some line about critical hit, and where the critical hit is....i dont think it would be in the weapon odf

According to psych0fred's docs
As far as I know, he never did make it specifiable. But there is a line that lets you specify damage multipliers for vehicles on the basis of individual parts (ie, leg, belly, butt, etc).A headshot on a soldier makes damage x 3.
This is at the moment hardcoded, let me know if you need to specify it per soldier.
A vehicle/flyer/walker/turret can specify a multiplier for a specific collision body.
Look in the atst odf for an example, temporary I put in a multiplier of 1.5 for a hit in the head.
HitLocation = "p_head 1.5"
When a bullet hits a body that has a damage multiplier greater then 1.0 it displays an extra flash.
Its "headshot.fx" if anyone is interested in playing with it (in common). Same effect for vehicles and soldiers.

I see. 
Okay, I'll see what I can do with that.

As a tag-along to this, is it possible to alter (perhaps through hex editing) the location of a soldier's critical hit point? I assume it's bone_head or whatever, but can you shift that designation around?

i doubt that you can change the bone

No; but can you change which bone is the critical hit spot?

You can alter set the CollisionHeadOffset which is what defines where the head is.Fiodis wrote:As a tag-along to this, is it possible to alter (perhaps through hex editing) the location of a soldier's critical hit point?

They use it for the droids and the wookiee.cis_inf_default wrote:CollisionHeadOffset = "0.0 -0.2 0.0"

im not shure if its practical for more than just changing the height a bit because the collision will still move woth the headbone
