[Need Help] Attaching object to hitPosition of unit

[zooloo75 834]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to attach an object to a unit at the exact position they were hit, via the HitPart event handler. I'd like for this attached object to follow the rotation of the selection that was hit as well.

So far from my experimenting, the attached object is not accurately placed where I shot the unit. I've tried various LOD indexes, and the different `selectionPosition` syntaxes but have had no luck. It seems impossible to attach an object to the exact position a unit was hit at and have it maintain a relative transform to the bone/selection that was hit. Has anyone else tried doing something like this successfully and could give some advice? Thanks.

Heya, I was fooling around with this a few years ago. This is as far as I got:

 

this addEventHandler ["HitPart", {
	(_this select 0) params ["_target", "_shooter", "_projectile", "_position", "_velocity", "_selection", "_ammo", "_vector", "_radius", "_surfaceType", "_isDirect"];

	_arrow = createVehicle ["Sign_Arrow_Direction_F", [0,0,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
	_arrow attachTo [_target, [0,0,0], _selection#0, true];
	_arrow setVectorDirAndUp [_vector, vectorUp _arrow];
}];

 

It is about as far from perfect as is possible, but maybe it will give you some ideas. Good luck!

You are correct! I've wanted to do this even before BloodLust. Would be nice to have something like Max Payne 3's impact wounds. The new scripting commands since then make this seem more possible, but it looks like there are still blockers for this.
