Trying to get hitbox of bodypart from player using raycast

[hasty kettle]

I tried to see how it could be done, but I have no explanation when I looked at NW code how they did it, it was even more confusing so yea

I've tried raycast.Value.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<HitboxIdentity>();

I've did it

just need to raycast for hitbox layermask and not all layermask

I was very wrong it did not work

I'm pretty sure just raycast.Value.collider is the actual hitbox of whatever the collider collided with

[hasty kettle]

Player(clone)

wait I haven't tried logging the collider itself only gameObject

I'll try it

Collider: Player(Clone) (UnityEngine.CharacterController)

[mighty yacht]

This works

This would be a bit of a safer way to do it

Of course you'd want to log before the returns so you get the right info

[hasty kettle]

you actually got the hitbox identity

what a legend

[mighty yacht]

Anything for you @hasty kettle ;)

Haha

[hasty kettle]

TheGuy has this method that would be good to be added

[mighty yacht]

If you're cool and like Harmony patches

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(HitscanResult), nameof(HitscanResult.RegisterDamage))]
public class LogHitbox : CustomItemBase<LogHitbox>
{
    protected internal override string Name => "LogHitbox";
    protected internal override Rarity Rarity => Rarity.Custom;
    protected internal override string Description => "Debug thing";
    protected internal override ItemType ItemType => ItemType.GunCOM18;
    protected internal override Color PickupLightColor => Color.white;

    public static void Prefix(IDestructible dest, ref float appliedDamage, AttackerDamageHandler handler)
    {
        if (handler is not FirearmDamageHandler dh ||
            dest is not HitboxIdentity identity ||
            !CustomItemData.ContainsKey(dh.Firearm.ItemSerial))
            return;
        
        Logger.Info(identity.name);
        appliedDamage *= 0.5f;
    }
}

Something I whipped up

The relevant bit is

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(HitscanResult), nameof(HitscanResult.RegisterDamage))]
public class FirearmStuff
{
    private static bool Check(ushort firearmSerial) => true; // If this is true, run the half damage code
    public static void Prefix(IDestructible dest, ref float appliedDamage, AttackerDamageHandler handler)
    {
        if (handler is not FirearmDamageHandler dh ||
            dest is not HitboxIdentity identity ||
            !Check(firearmSerial))
            return;
        
        Logger.Info(identity.name); // The name of the body part you're hitting
        appliedDamage *= 0.5f; // Changing the applied damage, not necessary but it's a typical example of what you'd use this kind of thing for
    }
}

@ashen kettle I know you said no Harmony patches but they really are a useful tool, and this is something that'd work for your purposes, and would prevent the need to do double raycasts every time a person shoots a weapon (unnecessary server load)

Might actually be a noticeable performance improvement when handling larger gun fights

Raycasts tend to be decently expensive

[ashen kettle]

Yeah

[mighty yacht]

Especially because the game runs on a single thread

[ashen kettle]

I'm not using patches because I just don't know how to do that, no tutorial ever worked and I just kinda gave up on them

[mighty yacht]

They're pretty easy, there's just not a lot of good resources out there

Let me send you the site I look at for docs

https://harmony.pardeike.net/articles/patching-prefix.html

Pretty good stuff

[ashen kettle]

Figured, been trying to learn but when all I see is 40 lines of instructions I feel like there's a more obscure reason hid in the game files that I actually understand

Rather than patching I've just publicized my assembly csharp and did everything using that

[mighty yacht]

The hardest bits are transpilers but they're niche and able to be avoided

[mighty yacht]

I had to do both haha

Publicizing is good for avoiding needing reflection

Not necessarily avoiding patching

[ashen kettle]

Anyway

do you know

how the game handles item animations?

Cuz' I've been trying to force one but I can't seem to find anything that actually plays the animation

[mighty yacht]

In order to force an item animation you have to force the item to be used, as animations and things are handled client-side

[ashen kettle]

Cant you send a fake sync to the player just to play the animation?

[mighty yacht]

That only works if animations are handled by network messages, but I don't believe they are

Fake syncing is the server telling the client something that isn't true

The server knows it's one thing, but tells the client another

@mighty yacht could you check your dms?
