Adding headshots to monsters in GZDoom

[MoustacheManny]

So I am working on this Doom wad and I really wan't the chaingun and pistol to do 2x bonus damage to monster heads but I don't know how to program that into the game. Any help?

[Stabbey]

I think it might be a great deal of work. This thread might be of help, though.

 

 

This thread might also have some links which could help.

Do a search on ZDoom Forum for headshot

and you'll find several mods which have implemented headshots,

for example:

Brutal Doom Platinum

Critical Shots

Hideous Destructor

Nazis Suck

Skeletal Doom

Op Upsilion Delta

etc.

Look at how they are implemented in other modsand try to replicate this approach. When you don'tknow anything about coding, now isthe right time to start learning.
