Headshot Detection

[ShadowRanger24 50]

So HandleDamage doesn't seem to be working very well for detecting headshots. It doesn't seem to pick up any hits on face_nub, neck etc. To test this I applied the following event handler to a unit:

 

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {

    _unit = _this select 0;

    _selectionName = _this select 1;

    _damage = _this select 2;

    _headshot = false;

 

    if ((_selectionName in ["face_hub", "neck", "head"]) && (_damage > 0.9)) then {

        _headshot = true;

    };

 

    (format ["[HandleDamage] - %1 - %2 - Headshot: %3", _selectionName, _damage, _headshot]) remoteExec ["systemChat"];

 

    _damage;

}];

 

Output when shooting the unit in the head:

[HandleDamage] - spine2 - 0.0282824 - Headshot: false

[HandleDamage] - spine3 - 3.59421 - Headshot: false

[HandleDamage] - body - 0 - Headshot: false

[HandleDamage] - arms - 0.211573 - Headshot: false

[HandleDamage] - hands - 0.0133059 - Headshot: false

[HandleDamage] - - 0.444013 - Headshot: false

 

Edit: Did some more testing, it's really weird how this event handler works. It seems to be detecting/registering head/face_hub/neck shots more often and properly with pistol shots compared to rifles.

Bump?

I did some tests and sometimes the selection is "" when you get HS 

so i would add it 

_selectionName in ["face_hub", "neck", "head", ""]

The problem is that this selection is used in other situations. So i would add

_source = _this select 3;
_projectile = _this select 4;

And check if source isn't null, source isn't the player, and projectile isn't "FuelExplosion"

For every hit, handleDamage will fire several time. You need to store them all and check what's the higher value. "" usually is the final damage that will be applied, but a lot of time has passed since my last tests

Thanks for the help guys. Do you know of any examples of how to implement these checks? @giallustio I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how I would implement that. Could you please try and explain it to me or provide a small example or something? Thanks in advance.

[] spawn
{
while {true} do {
        sleep 0.1;
	_damagehead= player getHit "head";
        if (_damagehead > 0.9) then {_headshot = 1};
   };
};

I used similiar for fullbody damage map layer.

Still having trouble with this. Can't seem to get it working properly. Any help please?

I tried that what is on your first post and i got positive from every headshot.

Just keep on mind that the original chat only shows certain amounts of lines so you have to open the chat and pageUp to see all the lines.

Alright so I've managed to get this somewhat working. Only issue is, the code I have is making it so the unit will not die when hit anywhere that isn't the head. Not sure if I've missed something that might be causing this.

 

fnc_getPartDamage = {

    params ["_unit", "_selection"];

 

    _damage = 0;

    _index = _unit getVariable ["selections", []] find _selection;

 

    if (_index >= 0) then {

        _damage = (_unit getVariable "getHit") select _index;

    };

 

    _damage

};

 

player setVariable ["selections", []];

player setVariable ["getHit", []];

 

headshot = false;

 

player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {

    _unit = _this select 0;

    _selection = _this select 1;

    _damage = _this select 2;

 

    _selections = _unit getVariable ["selections", []];

    _getHit = _unit getVariable ["getHit", []];

 

    if (!(_selection in _selections)) then {

        _selections set [count _selections, _selection];

        _getHit set [count _getHit, 0];

    };

 

    _i = _selections find _selection;

    _getHit set [_i, _damage];

 

    _criticalHit = (_selection in ["", "face_hub", "neck", "head", "pelvis", "spine1", "spine2", "spine3", "body"]);

    _fatalHit = (_damage >= 1 && alive _unit && _criticalHit);

 

    if (_fatalHit && !headshot) then {

        _headParts = ["face_hub", "head"];

 

        {

            _partDamage = [_unit, _x] call fnc_getPartDamage;

            if (_partDamage > 0.9) exitWith {headshot = true};

        } forEach _headParts;

 

        (format ["Headshot: %1", headshot]) remoteExec ["systemChat"];

    };

 

    _damage

}];
