Headshot Bonus

[Shoemaker]

For the past few days I have started looking at files to see how to get a headshot bonus system working but as usual I end up with a headache :oops:

I did find this line in _globallogic:

//if(sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_HEAD_SHOT") attacker.pers["score"] += level.ex_headshotbonus; //Joker - Needs testing

If you ever get time to work on this I think it would be a great addition especially for sniper servers that currently use longrange rifles which you only have to clip a toenail to kill someone.  With bonus points for a headshot it would add a skill challenge that many players would enjoy.

Not a must have, but a nice to have.

Thanks for reading.

Why does this thread confuse me?

It's already a feature of X4, located in the monitoring.cfg...

Code: [Select]

// Reward system for Headshot Kills
// 0 = Off (default)
// 1 = On
set ex_headshot_reward "1"

// Points to be award to a player that gets a Headshot
// 0 = min (default)
// 99 = max
set ex_headshot_points "5"

How did I get this...

A couple people -- like Kid and you Wanna -- have gotten it as a by-product of another fix

I was thinking that myself, we've had it running on our server a few weeks now, didn't know it hadn't been realeased.

I beleive if i remember right was something to do with the LR script fix or something along they lines that Sniperone posted a while back.
