I have an idea for headshots, although I'm not sure if it will work. Could it be possible to model the head and body as separate piece and place the head on the body?! Give the head a destroy script that when the head is dead it kills the body. And vise versa on the script. Has this been tried? And could it be possible?

Please tell me if you have tested this before.

Dangit this was a test to see if the sig came out right, and i didn't copy the whole code, lol.

yea, that is still too big, also you don't need to post again, when you change your sig, just use the edit button.

Oh, I didn't know that would matter. I guess I'll resize it again.

[EDIT]

There I think that is a much better size.

Wouldn't it mean only the head would die?

I know I keep changing my signature, so what?

That is all I have to say since it was in my original post. I don't think it would work though because of what bloodeath was saying. It was just an idea though.

I'm going to edit the source code in DBP and just fix the headshot issue that way. Or at least I think I'm going to, hehe. For me, FPSC is an engine designed for the sheer purpose of me tinkering with source code . Anyway, if I can figure out how to fix this in DBP (I don't think it should be too hard, but I'm saying "if" just in case), then with Lee's permission I'll post the segment of code I wrote to fix the issue. I'm not sure how many of you will be able to make good use of that, but it's the best I can do

I'll do my best. I'm probably going to play around with the source this weekend, saturday and sunday probably. But this fix wouldn't help anyone who doesn't own a copy of DBP, unfortunately. I'd basically be breaking up the collision detection and creating different strike zones that way, but I don't think it would be too easy (not impossible by any means, but it'll probably take me some time). Anyway, I'll try to keep you all up-to-date on any progress I can make

when (if ever) you come up with a fix for the headshots, you can always compile a new exe using your DBPro and all the others can use that exe.

I already thought about this. It's the same thing I used for headshots when attempting to make a game in 3D Game Studio. I'm not sure you can do it with FPSC. You would need to have conditions such as:

moveleft=X
moveright=X
movefront=X
moveback=X
moveup=X
movedown=X

And then you would assign the body the smart script where it calculates the A.I., and have the head just move in the direction the bodies moving.

But this sounds like a Feature Creep - ish post, so I'll stop.

I wouldn't be able to release the EXE though, that would be equivilent to giving away copies of FPSC for free... can't do that . I'd only be able to post a code snippet containing the function that fixes the issue, and then the place where you'd put the call for that function. But this all depends on if I can even figure out how to fix it, hehe.

You can release the executable, because the source code does only contain the game engine and no parts of the editor. In fact if you take look at one of the stickied threads on the FPSC Showcase board, you'll notice that I've released a modified FPSC executable and no-one has arrested me (yet ).
Also the readme states:

If a character model uses 'limbs' then that means the head is a seperate limb. Within Dark Basic Pro, someone could make it so that if you shoot at the head limb of the model then that makes the enemy die straight away, I don't know if this could work but it's what I would do if I was programming an FPS in Dark Basic Pro.

what modeling program do you use? if you use 3ds max u can make regions and then make a script so that the "head" region only needs 3 shots while the "body" region takes 5. i just found out about fps creator, so don't ask me how to do it.
