Help me :)

May we see the code you're using?

Standart Base.

function GM:ScalePlayerDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )

-- More damage if we're shot in the head
if ( hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD ) then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 200 )

end

-- Less damage if we're shot in the arms or legs
if ( hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTARM ||
hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTARM ||
hitgroup == HITGROUP_LEFTLEG ||
hitgroup == HITGROUP_RIGHTLEG ||
hitgroup == HITGROUP_GEAR ) then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 0.25 )

end

end

You should be using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/ScalePlayerDamage]GM:ScalePlayerDamage[/url] if you aren't already. That gives you the hitgroup, and if it's HITGROUP_HEAD, you can do whatever.

ninja'd. I guess it's a bug then.

Try to shoot the bot without it carrying a physgun, as your code looks alright.

With the keys everything works, but if the player holds any weapons, it does not work.

Try using a hook

hook.Add( "ScalePlayerDamage", "HeadShotTest", function( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
  if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then
    dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 200 )
  else
    dmginfo:ScaleDamage( 0.25 )
  end
end )

Shorter version:

hook.Add( "ScalePlayerDamage", "HeadShotTest", function( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
    dmginfo:ScaleDamage( hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD and 200 or 0.25 )
end )

When I shoot straight to the head it does not work, but when it is slightly to the left it works.

Strange, it works for me. Try changing the ScaleDamage number to 9999, it should instantly kill (it does for me at least)

E.G.

hook.Add( "ScalePlayerDamage", "HeadShotTest", function( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
    dmginfo:ScaleDamage( hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD and 99999 or 0.25 )
end )

Make sure you're running that serverside (or shared) by the way - if it's clientside it probably won't work

Edit: automerge

Maybe your models are a bit wonky? By default my bots are kleiner, not the citizen model, and it appears your one doesn't even take damage unless you shoot them in the head. I'm clueless at this point - but it works for me. Sorry

[McNewYork2]

What's wrong with hit box...

Full serverside, I know it.

Try to restart your game as you have overriden the ScalePlayerDamage function and is now using a hook.

When I shoot not in the head and in the left, it works.

[Jompe]

Do as MPan1 said and try to use a different playermodel.

I tryed...

[Jompe]

[QUOTE]This is not called for all damage a player receives ( For example fall damage or NPC melee damage ), so you should use GM:EntityTakeDamage instead if you need to detect ALL damage.[/QUOTE]

Don't know if you should count a bot as a NPC?

[B]EDIT:[/B]
Try to invite your friend to try it on a non-bot.

alright, I will..

Try "sv_showlagcompensation 1", that should show you the hitboxes. Another possibility is that the damage is modified in EntityTakeDamage as it first calls ScalePlayerDamage then EntityTakeDamage.
