DecapiNation
Don't lose your head!

Description

Here is a little bit of fun. DecapiNation provides headless models and heads for CS:S and some code to decapitate players when headshot, knifed or gren'd.

The fun part is that you do not immediately die when decapitated. Blood spurts from your neck as you lose blood and health. Your Point Of View changes to that of your head model (wherever that may be!).

I have designed this with LDuke's excellent Grabber:SM plugin (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthr...hlight=grabber) in mind. DecapiNation should be installed alongside it. With this combination, you can pick up peoples heads and move them around. Their POV follows the head and yes you can _re-attach_ the head thereby saving the player and stemming the blood flow! (Note that this is not a required dependency, without Grabber you just cant re-attach heads, nor can you carry your own ).

Known Issues

• I haven't LOD'd all the models - its a PITA
• The view of the players own body when decapitated is not simulated. Therefore the weapon model does not show, cartridges eject from your head and the muzzle flash will also be attached to your head!
• Occassionally the dark borders you get as spectator do not disappear when the next round starts.

Oh my god that's hilarious! haha reading that just makes me want to buy CSS and use this plugin!

So if your head flies off your body, you can see your body move around and whatnot? In other words, your view will still be in the eyes of the head?

Yes, I attach the player view to the head entity - it makes you very dizzy if your team mates start throwing your head around with Grabber hehehe

[paegus]

can you change the health loss to something like a point_hurt from the player (if any) who swung the proverbial axe? that way they retain the credit for the hits and the eventual kill.

I had considered that but it was not done for the following reasons:

• Adds complexity to code in that you then have to submit the timer events with all the player_hurt data. This gets messy when the attacker leaves the server or times out etc.
• The player bleeds to death and is not killed as such. The attacker needs to finish the victim off or the victim needs a buddy to put his or her head back on.

If I see a bunch of requests for this feature I will add it.

[paegus]

true. though the only things you need are the player number and the weapon id: 2 integer array {client_entity, weapon_entity} if possible.

I was looking at it without really wanting to re-attach the head. things like AWP shots, point blanks and grenades basically killing them almost instantly. but giving them that ZOMG moment as their view spirals away and their body dies within moments.

hope it does make it in

Hello..

Will this work with HL2DM??

[bolinux]

Nice plugin, I run it on my deathmatch server.
My request, can you please add cvars like:

name: sm_decapination_headshot
default: 1
help: decapination on headshot

name: sm_decapination_knife
default: 1
help: decapination on knifing

name: sm_decapination_he
default: 1
help: decapination on granade

So it would be better to customize, depend on which mod you use.

Could you have a setting where decapitation only works when a person gets a headshot kill, like if I dink someone they will be fine, it I get them again in the head their head falls off.

[lassiter]

I am getting errors models instead of the player models I put everything where it goes any idea's?

Never mind had to restart server.....
