UT2004 Custom "Headshot" Sound

[legacy-CyberHawk5]

Is it possible to add a custom "HeadShot" sound in UT2004? I'd like to have the script written into my gun mutator. If anyone knows where I can find tutorials or personally know how to do it I'd be much appreciative. I've been racking my small brain on this and I need sleep! Thanks in Advance.

I think the headshot message and sound are called from the damage type. Like in DamTypeSniperHead:

class DamTypeSniperHeadShot extends WeaponDamageType
	abstract;

var class<LocalMessage> KillerMessage;
var sound HeadHunter; // OBSOLETE

static function IncrementKills(Controller Killer)//This makes it display a "HeadHunter" sound when someone gets 15 headshots.
{
	local xPlayerReplicationInfo xPRI;
	
	if ( PlayerController(Killer) == None )
		return;
		
	PlayerController(Killer).ReceiveLocalizedMessage( Default.KillerMessage, 0, Killer.PlayerReplicationInfo, None, None );
	xPRI = xPlayerReplicationInfo(Killer.PlayerReplicationInfo);
	if ( xPRI != None )
	{
		xPRI.headcount++;
		if ( (xPRI.headcount == 15) && (UnrealPlayer(Killer) != None) )
			UnrealPlayer(Killer).ClientDelayedAnnouncementNamed('HeadHunter',15);
	}
}		

static function GetHitEffects(out class<xEmitter> HitEffects[4], int VictemHealth )
{
    HitEffects[0] = class'HitSmoke';
    HitEffects[1] = class'HitFlameBig';
}

defaultproperties
{
     KillerMessage=Class'XGame.SpecialKillMessage'//I believe this is the client sound thats played when someone gets a headshot.
     WeaponClass=Class'XWeapons.SniperRifle'
     DeathString="%o's cranium was made extra crispy by %k's lightning gun."
     FemaleSuicide="%o violated the laws of space-time and sniped herself."
     MaleSuicide="%o violated the laws of space-time and sniped himself."
     bAlwaysSevers=True
     bSpecial=True
     bCauseConvulsions=True
     DamageOverlayMaterial=Shader'XGameShaders.PlayerShaders.LightningHit'
     DamageOverlayTime=0.900000
}

Hope this works!

Thanx Slip777 appreciate it

I got it to work but used a differnet method, check this out:

class DamTypecXTHeadShot extends WeaponDamageType
abstract;

#exec AUDIO IMPORT FILE=Sounds\HawkScreamLoud.wav NAME=Scream GROUP=Sounds

var class<LocalMessage> killermessage;
var sound HawkScreamLoud; // OBSOLETE
var sound HeadHunter;
static function IncrementKills(Controller Killer)
{
local xPlayerReplicationInfo xPRI;

if ( PlayerController(Killer) == None )
return;
UnrealPlayer(Killer).ClientDelayedAnnouncement(Def ault.HawkScreamLoud,15); // HeadShot Sound (cXT)
PlayerController(Killer).ReceiveLocalizedMessage( Default.KillerMessage, 0, Killer.PlayerReplicationInfo, None, None );
xPRI = xPlayerReplicationInfo(Killer.PlayerReplicationInf o);
if ( xPRI != None )
{
xPRI.headcount++;
if ( (xPRI.headcount == 10) && (UnrealPlayer(Killer) != None) )
UnrealPlayer(Killer).ClientDelayedAnnouncement(Def ault.HeadHunter,10);
}
}

static function GetHitEffects(out class<xEmitter> HitEffects[4], int VictimHealth )
{
HitEffects[0] = class'HitSmoke';
HitEffects[1] = class'HitFlameBig';
}

Defaultproperties

{
HawkScreamLoud=Sound'Scream'
KillerMessage=class'SpecialKillMessage'
WeaponClass=cXTRifle2k4_2.ZoomcXTRifle
DeathString="%o's head was severed by %k's ripping bullets!"
FemaleSuicide="%o shot herself while cleaning her weapon."
MaleSuicide="%o shot himself while cleaning his weapon."
