Setting up critical hit locations

Post by AceMastermind »

Set it up like you would a collision primitive, it needs to be geometry.

Example: imp_walk_atst.msh
Hidden/Spoiler:

imp_walk_atst.odf - HitLocation property:

Code: Select all

HitLocation	 = "p_crit_hit 4.0"
[color=#FF8040]odf_guide.doc[/color] wrote:HitLocation – The location of its critical hit point. The number at the end determines its multiplier. For instance, the “4” means this location causes 4x the normal damage
An 'Argument 0' error on export is typical when exporting primitives but this does not affect the exported msh.

For more information on how to set up collision primitives please see the art_guide.doc included with the BF2_modtools documentation.
