Headshots/Weakpoints?

[NQNStudios]

Could this possibly integrate with the Mobs mod and allow different mobs to have different weakpoints, i.e. the head, legs, etc. that each run a different event when they get shot?

that's not necessarily within the capabilities of 4dguns due to engine limitations. Engine limitations aside it'd entail creating an entirely new type of hitbox system as well as predicting the locations of bones on the client. Animations are run on the client so we'd have to deal with all sorts of latency issues (those are the aforementioned engine limitations). That being said I have considered making a mod for body parts, but it'd be a separate mod really.

I have been working on creating math libraries that would allow for calculations like that though, that's why guns4d hasn't seen a lot of progress as of lately.

latency, however, would be more difficult. It'd really require clientside mod integration- the required features for it to work may not even exist in the CSM API right now.

Could there be a more crude calculation, like calculating the angle between the top of the mob’s head and the gun barrel position, then comparing the player’s view angle to that angle?
