Post Help - Homing for the head
Heads are only attachables, so all i can do is aim for
Code:
ClassName == "Attachable"

but that wont quite cut it.

The forum search brought up that someone already created a weapon that god head-homing ammunition, but I can't find said mod, also it seems this mod is years old and with the new lua stuff there should be a better way already.

I can do the target finding and the projectile moving/aiming but how to get the head from the targeted actor?

OFFTOPIC:
Is there some official CC chat/IRC?

Source.

Thanks! Seems the wiki actualy got some usefull information, at least for lua.
So this should work I suppose?
Code:
self.targetHeadPos = ToAHuman(target).Head.Pos

Hmm I use "local raycast = SceneMan:CastMORay(...)" to get a MO in the line of sight.
How to check wether it is a AHuman?

Code:
if raycast ~= 255 and ToAHuman(targetID) ~= nil then

this seems not to work :/


EDIT:
This works, but it fails for actors without head like crabs
Code:
   local raycast = SceneMan:CastMORay(ToHDFirearm(gun).MuzzlePos,Vector(self.weaponRange,0):RadRotate(ToActor(owner):GetAimAngle(true)),owner.ID,0,false,2);
   if raycast ~= 255 then
      local raycast2 = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(raycast).RootID);
      if MovableMan:IsActor(raycast2) then
      self.target = raycast2;
      end
   end



EDIT: Solved!

Code:
         local raycast = SceneMan:CastMORay(ToHDFirearm(gun).MuzzlePos,Vector(self.weaponRange,0):RadRotate(ToActor(owner):GetAimAngle(true)),owner.ID,0,false,2);
         if raycast ~= 255 then
            local raycast2 = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(raycast).RootID);
            if raycast2.ClassName == "AHuman" then
               self.target = raycast2;
            end
         end
