This is the source code to my hit location system.
When used, this code makes weapons do more or less
damage to the victims depending on where on the body
they hit. The damage factors are listed below :-

Chest –          Normal damage
Front of legs –  25% of normal damage
Face –           200% of normal damage
Back –           150% of normal damage
Back of legs –   37% of normal damage
Back of head –   300% of normal damage

To add and use this code in a mod, follow the following
instructions :-

1. Open up the PROGS.SRC file, and insert the words "hitloc.qc"
without quotes after the words "subs.qc"

2. Open up WEAPONS.QC and scroll down to one of the weapon
damage routines. This only works with weapons that use
T_Damage, not T_RadiusDamage. Just before the
T_Damage line, add one of the following lines:

hit_loc = HitLocation(trace_ent, trace_endpos);

hit_loc = HitLocation(other, self.origin);

Use the first line if the weapon is a direct trace weapon, e.g.
axe, shotgun, lightning. If the weapon is a projectile
one, e.g. nailgun, rocket launcher, then use the second
line.

Then, edit the T_Damage line in the following way. Just before
the final bracket, add " * hit_loc" excluding the speech
marks. Here is an example for a nailgun:-

hit_loc = HitLocation(other, self.origin);
T_Damage (other, self, self.owner, 9 * hit_loc);

3. Compile as you normally would and enjoy.

This code is totally public domain. Do with it as you will.
