Solved Is it possible to set the different hitflash to different object in the same freespecial?

[darkneo]

Hi, I have a little problem about the hitflash effect, for example, I set the hitflash "spray_blood" in the freespecial so when I hit the enemy the hitflash can show, but my problem is if I hit the object like wooden box, it also show spray_blood, maybe you can say it's doesn't matter but I think it's weird. So is that any solution can solve? Thanks!

i hada similar question a while ago,
one answer is to give some enitities a bunch of hitboxes (looking to be a new feature for next openbor) or another is to implement a system where an invisilble sprite could be used to create different hit reactions,
unfortunately pixel accurate or "hitpixels" are something that would be very taxing for most game engines if not all of them...

however

@DCurrent shared a solution that may solve this kind of by the pixel problem in the folliwong thread posts

Theoretical question about Bbox

I was just wondering, how come bounding boxes (bbox) need to be defined and must be a quadrilateral 4 sided shape. I understand this is the norm for pretty much all sprite based games, but why is that? In OpenBor, could there not be an option that states "all pixels NOT the first color on the...

,so i have no doubt that a variation of this can resolve this "pixel materials " issue, knuckleheads like me would need a demo & a tutorial to even begin to understand how to do the "battleship" scripting trick tho...

Usually it's solved by giving the box personal flash when it's hurt by anything. It's done with these commands on header:

flash   flash2
noatflash 1

flash flash2 means this entity will show flash2 when it's hurt.

Straight fork the manual:

.noatflash {bi}

When {bi} is 1, this entity will always play it's personal 'flash' when hit, instead of the attacker's. Useful for obstacles.

Thanks for you all the solutions! They are very useful and good experience! I will try them.

Is it possible to replace the hitfx as well?

The best way to use hitfx is to not use it at all. It's a legacy command and kind of pointless honestly. Just play a sound in the animation of your flash entities, and you're done.
