separation of body parts from the shot

[sevenx]

Hi, how can i do next ?

1) When I shot in monster , for example, just in head , that head is detached from the body.

I want do this , but which programms for animation i need to download ? With what code i need to work ? And what i should to change ? And what exactly i should to do , that achieve it ?

I wouldn't call this too easily done in vanilla Quake unless you heap lots of models on top of each other, since you mean you still want the enemy to move around and such right?

Play the severed quake patch. Good and well done.

It depends on what you want to happen after the head is shot off.

If you want the enemy to just stagger around a bit and then fall over, then you could add some more frames to each model - some of the damage frames might be good to duplicate, and obviously you'll need to do the dead frames too - and move the head vertexes to somewhere they won't be seen, like inside the body. You'll need to do this manually for each and every MDL file as the Quake models don't contain any headless frames.

Then you need to add locational damage to the engine because the Quake engine doesn't have locational damage. This will need per-poly hit detection - another thing that the Quake engine doesn't have. Without this there is no way of detecting whether or not an enemy has been hit in the head.

Then you need to test it, bug fix it, and make sure that it plays nice with other mods and maps.

If this sounds like too much work (and it is) then just download the patch you were given and study how it was done in the patch, which can be a useful way of learning how to do things for yourself.

Sevenx, maybe a bit late but..,
I'm willing to help you with the animation.

I would like to do something alike with the knight,
make it end up like this.

Haha, that's awesome.
