Hit effects [PICS]

[legacy-Mr Evil]

I thought some of my fellow modders might find this useful. It's code and related resources (sounds and textures) for surface-dependant hit effects, intended to be integrated with custom weapons or other similar purposes.

Here are some screenshots of a few of them:


Glass



Metal



Wood

and get decals on both sides?

That's up to the weapon code, not something that can be done with this by itself.

They've half implemented it in UT2004, but it seems to be unfinished. Instead we get the rather lame sparks on everything Unfortunately there are a lot of materials and meshes in the standard maps that don't have surface types set, so you see more of the default effect than I would like. Not a problem for mods with their own maps though.

Umm... I ... love u...?

Thanks Evil, we were goin to do some cool effects anyways, but this makes it that much easier.

Much appreciated

now all we need is an infinite-decal mutator.

Shall I compile it for you for more convenient mass consumption?

Is there not one already? There was one for UT2003 that will probably still work. It would be quite simple to edit the code so the decals stay for a long time without a mutator, and the particles too so you could fill the map with wood splinters and shards of glass.

If you want to distribute a compiled version then go ahead, but I don't think there is a need. I expect anyone who is in a position to use this code would want to compile it into their own package and would probably want to edit the code anyway.

wow man that looks awesome if only we could use this in any map ,...,.,.:up:

So the materialtest map isn't a working version of the effects in action, I didn't see a mylevel textures package for the sprites shown in the screenshots, plus nothing works except a few surfaces spawn a unique emitter effect when shot.

At any rate, wouldn't it be possible to include the code in a mylevel package and get these to work in any map type for ut2004?

Very neat and useful nice work :up:
