Anyway to specify if attacker hits head then

[CGHippo]

Hey guys, I'm using the hook GM:PlayerHurt and I can't get it so if the player hits the head it will then do something. I'm not using GM:ScalePlayerDamage as it won't work for what I want. Anyway to fix this?

function GM:PlayerHurt( victim, attacker )
    if ( attacker:IsPlayer() ) and ( attacker:HasWeapon("weapon_fists") ) then
        local pos = victim:GetPos()
        victim:CreateRagdoll()
        victim:SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA)
        victim:SetColor( Color(0, 0, 0, 0 ) )
        victim:Freeze( true )
        victim:GodEnable()
        victim:SetCollisionGroup( 20 )
            timer.Simple( 2, function()
                    victim:Respawn()
                    victim:SetPos( pos )
                    SafeRemoveEntity( victim:GetRagdollEntity() )
                    victim:SetRenderMode( 0 )
                    victim:SetColor( Color(255, 255, 255, 255) )
                    victim:Freeze( false )
                    victim:GodDisable()
                    victim:SetCollisionGroup( 0 )
            end )
    end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerHurt", "Knockout", PlayerHurt )

I want it so if the player hits the head the code will then run

I don't know what do you mean that it wouldn't work lol.

Either I'm just stupid or ScalePlayerDamage doesn't work. I put prints in there, etc. and it just isn't working.

It works fine for me. Can you give me the code you are using for your ScalePlayerDamage hook? If it's incorrect like your code you posted there, that may be the problem.

function GM:ScalePlayerDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
    if ( ply:IsPlayer() ) and ( dmginfo:GetAttacker():IsPlayer() ) and ( dmginfo:GetAttacker():HasWeapon("weapon_fists") ) and ( hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD ) then
        local pos = ply:GetPos()
        ply:CreateRagdoll()
        ply:SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA)
        ply:SetColor( Color(0, 0, 0, 0 ) )
        ply:Freeze( true )
        ply:GodEnable()
        ply:SetCollisionGroup( 20 )
            timer.Simple( 2, function()
                    ply:Respawn()
                    ply:SetPos( pos )
                    SafeRemoveEntity( ply:GetRagdollEntity() )
                    ply:SetRenderMode( 0 )
                    ply:SetColor( Color(255, 255, 255, 255) )
                    ply:Freeze( false )
                    ply:GodDisable()
                    ply:SetCollisionGroup( 0 )
            end )
    end
end

Sorry for late response family problems.

Make something like this, its a simple example but it will do.

[lua]
function GM:ScalePlayerDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )

if ( hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD ) then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 2 )

end

if ( hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTARM or
hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTARM or
hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTLEG or
hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTLEG or
hitgroup == HITGROUP_GEAR ) then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 0.50 )

end

if hitgroup == HITGROUP_CHEST then dmginfo:ScaleDamage(1.1) end
if hitgroup == HITGROUP_STOMACH then dmginfo:ScaleDamage(1.05) end

end
[/lua]

I know how it works,
I'm questioning why it isn't
