 Is this possible? I've had this ridiculous idea for a long time in my head and I thought of asking if its possible to do with Lua since I'm quite certain its not possible through normal ini hacks.
Neck Snap.
Basically makes the opposing actor's head make a nice HFlipped = 1 while the rest of his body stays still. Or if not that, then atleast detach the head, and then flip it.
In the process the victim recieves -100 hp and gives a nice *crack* sound.

Re: Is this possible? Since the head is an attachable, it's most likely a no go.
Maybe in B24?

Re: Is this possible? You could easily do it now without the head twist.

Re: Is this possible? You've freakin' stolen my idea.  Well yeah, it is perfectly possible, I was gonna use it in an actor as soon as I was finished with the mod contest. You just use mail's attachable script to search for actors near your unit, get their attachable's MOIDs, detach, and perhaps add some AngularVel to make it seem like their necks broke. Bloody cool, if you ask me. I might code it for you when I'm done with that contest thing. (There is one problem, though: other attachables, such as armor, would also be detached. But I'm sure a workaround solution can be found for that.)

Re: Is this possible? yeah, like searching for a presetname with head in it.
yes it is possible, though the HFlipped thing could be an issue.

Re: Is this possible? Ever since I finished Metal Gear Solid for the first time, I've been addicted to neck snapping ever since. : D Just now I decided to ask because some guys have done wierd Lua hacks I cant understand and are able to access attachables when it was thought impossible. I was thinking it would work only when the actor is unarmed and to perform it, you have to hit the "fire" button 3 or 5 times very fast, just like in MGS (although that needed like 10 presses : x). Also if HFlipped fails, I'm cool with RotAngle = 180; too.

Re: Is this possible? Both do the job equally well.

Re: Is this possible? Code: for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
x = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if x.ClassName == "Attachable" then
local head = ToAttachable(x);
head.RotAngle = math.pi/2;
local actor = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(head.RootID));
if actor then
actor:SetAimAngle(math.pi/2);
actor.Health = 0;
end
end
end This snaps all actor's heads back in the level by making their heads look directly up. When it's snapped this quickly and then they slump forward, it looks pretty convincing. That said, if you still want the real 180-degree head turning deal: Code: for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
x = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if x.ClassName == "Attachable" then
local head = ToAttachable(x);
local newhead = CreateAttachable(head.PresetName);
newhead.Pos = head.Pos;
newhead.HFlipped = not head.HFlipped;
head.ToDelete = true;
MovableMan:AddParticle(newhead);
end
end However, if you try this code, you'll notice that it also affects armor on actors and if there is any attachable such as a helmet on the actor's head, there will end up being 2. So probably the first method is best.

Re: Is this possible? Go right ahead. Just make sure to adapt the script to an actor, this just does it to everything on the level. You might also want to discuss with numgun considering the fact that this is his thread, after all.

Re: Is this possible? Excellent!
Now all I need to do is to figure out how to do the tapping key combo work.
EDIT: Say, is it possible to make the head unattach from the torso?
So after decapitating the head with a neck snap, the head would fall off the body?

Re: Is this possible? Problems : ( So far it works, but it keeps snapping the user's neck also. Its funny, but not intended. Code: --NECK SNAP. >: D
if self:IsInventoryEmpty() == true then
if self:GetController():IsState(Controller.RELEASE_PRIMARY) then
self.presses = self.presses + 1;
if self.presses == 3 and self.cancelTimer:IsPastSimMS(300) == false then
for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
local x = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if x.ClassName == "Attachable" then
local head = ToAttachable(x);
local actor = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(head.RootID));
--local dist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos, actor.Pos, true).Magnitude
if math.abs(actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X) < 30 and math.abs(actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y) < 30 then
actor:SetAimAngle(math.pi/2);
head.RotAngle = math.pi/2;
actor.Health = -1;
end
end
end
self.presses = 0;
end
self.cancelTimer:Reset();
end
end
if self.cancelTimer:IsPastSimMS(300) == true then
self.presses = 0
end How can I prevent it from snapping my own neck? I've tried self == false, actor ~= self and not self. Noone of these worked, wtf am I doing wrong here?

Re: Is this possible? It works! Hell yeah! Now all is left is that pesky emitter to show an effect and play the sound. Going to put an extra loud *CRACK* sound for this one.
