Changing damage to enemies for different parts of the body

[majestic]

I’d like to set up enemies so that some parts of the body can damaged more easily.

For example, take the head. I can see how to use Add Extra Body Member to get the enemy to give damage from its head (e.g. a zombie bite), but is it possible to configure it to take damage (e.g. an enemy receiving more damage when hit in the head)?

select your body part e.g. the head and add a Damage Modifier Value. So its Base Damage plus the Damage Modifier for the Head.

Thanks dreadlord, I did try that but it's not working for some reason.

Quick follow-up question: I've defined the head as a new body part, but now I'd like to remove it. After deleting its hitbox and removing the vMeleeAttackObject component, it's still listed under EnemyAI > vMeleeManager > Body Members. Is there any way to delete it?

On the MeleeManager, select your body member and hit the X button to remove it

Hmm...I'm not seeing that when it's selected, and I haven't modified the vMeleeManager script.

It may be a Unity bug, or something I've changed somewhere else. Hopefully this will work when I reinstall the codebase with the 2.0a fixes.

All OK now - reinstalling vMeleeManager fixed this.

Nice! Glad it's fixed , it's pretty cool how know, it does all the arms/legs all in the melee manager :D
