Hey there @BLAZEPunk! With positional damage, there are a number of ways to go about it. This thread goes over some possible choices:

How does one add weakspots to a vehicle?

Hi, you already got a couple of working solutions described in the posts above =) (1) Add scene components (or anything that can be referenced) to your tank where you want the weakspots. So each scene component would be a weakspot. Then when the tank gets hit get the distance between the hit location and each scene component. If the hit location is closer than X distance to a scene component, then you’ve hit a weakspot. You could create a map that maps from the weakspot to the distance X, so ea…

I’m personally a fan of the different overlap boxes as components approach, as you can customize the hitbox, manipulate it programmatically if need be, and is more designer friendly than bones.

However the SKM bone location method is also preferred especially if you are working with characters.
