removing body parts when shot

[thommoboy]

this could quite possibly be the hardest thing i have wanted to do and i know nzp and l4q have done it but how is it done? for psp i might add so no darkplaces addons

[Jukki]

you need to make hte bodie parts as separated entities and then code it to follow the body

[gnounc]

Just create alternate models with body parts missing and swap them out when shot.

[thommoboy]

yeah but how would you change models?

[Ghost_Fang]

when you want to change the model, just call setmodel(entity, "progs/model.mdl");
And L4Q has no dismemberment or model switching, if you get a headshot it plays a separate dying animation, one in which the head is shrunk to near nothing and tucked inside the shoulders/neck. Aren't we sneaky?

yeah but how do i change it to the arm when the player shoots the arm or the leg when he shoots the leg?

[leileilol]

The old "Severed" QC patch does it by making new frames for player.mdl that just is a pain frame sequence with a limb missing. It'll quickly use up all the 256 frames though, unless you had a frame limit raised in the protocol you can do more dismemberment variancy.

yeah i got it working but its

setmodel(self, "progs/Necromorph.mdl");

Your going to have to work out that math sadly. Work out the offsets from their origin.

how would i do the trace line thingy XD like find its arm?

[thommoboy]

if i give you the mdl can you code according to it just so i can know what to do for others?

[ceriux]

it would be cool to see a mod which helps you find cordinants sorta like the one for the vwep mod.
