Does anybody on here know how I can get the Base Damage value and use it on an enemy to calculate it’s health?
I have a the check for if something is dead on the enemy BP but I need to hook in what the actual damage is it is calculating and I can’t see how I do this?

Each weapon has Base Damage and I assume that is per bullet that hits, but how do I track this on an enemy please?

EDIT: Okay forget that I sorted it. But I wondered how I check for hit location of the bullet? I need to know where a bullet has hit so I can apply different damage modifiers (for headshots, weakspots etc)
Any ideas?

Thanks
Daz

Hi Daz, I’m to do something similar. I would anticipate the Character Pawn containing the necessary components to define specific areas of collision, possibly using shapes or meshes for Weakpoints, Destructible Armors, Swap-able Mesh for Gore. Physical Materials and Psuedo-Physical Materials may come in play too. I plan to use the collision check of the projectile to tell me what Character Actor is hit, then perform a OnHit Event on that Character Actor to determine what component was hit. There are several BP Event Nodes to choose from for collision checking ie : OnHit , Overlaps , and Traces. I still have to figure out how to get the projectile mesh to display.
