Note: as far as I could tell, P_SpawnBlood is the only function that handles spawning blood actors (and not particles, which is what P_BloodSplatter(2) are for, I think). If I'm wrong and the patch is incomplete, just let me know.

PUFFGETSOWNER on Blood actors makes them target the owner
As the title states, this simple patch will allow it so that if you put PUFFGETSOWNER on a spawned blood actor, the blood will target the owner of the blood.

I can imagine using this to calculate the height difference between the blood actor and the owner to simulate headshots...

Do want! I imagine it could be used with various other calculations to simulate other types of hits too.

Added. But it had to be copied to P_RipperBlood, too.
P_BloodSplatter did not need to be handled because it spawns the blood as a projectile which always gets an owner.

Ah, ok. I wasn't sure since I'm still poking at the source code and learning things, so that's more for me to know.Graf Zahl wrote:P_BloodSplatter did not need to be handled because it spawns the blood as a projectile which always gets an owner.
That's exactly one of the things I intended this for.Nash wrote:I can imagine using this to calculate the height difference between the blood actor and the owner to simulate headshots...
