Possibility of making car windows no longer bulletproof?

[Bnjemann]

Whats the possibility of making car windows not completely block anything that isn't .50 BMG which just shoots through the car? Just wondering, would be a nice addition.

 

[ErmakDimon]

Impossible.

Through a series of complex calculations you couls detect whether or not the player is hit.

u can shoot through the swat van and hit someone on the other side with an as50 and its funny

How the fuck would you know? I refuse to believe you understand anything like this.

Not everyone is as privileged as you kid

 

[Sorle]

CHECK UR PRIVILEGE NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD AN AS50

 

[Kenty]

@Sorle UR DONE

Nothing is impossible in the realm of code.

You could also calculate the googolplexianth number of Pi.

 

[Zayne]

haha

 

[Sorle]

you could also stop being a fucking nerd kid

I wouldn't call it impossible but it will be very difficult, and just gonna say Rip hit registration.

Could code a hitbox right infront of every window, which could then detect bullets and deal appropriate damage to the corrosponding player?

That's the only way i can think of

It would be a bit odd for sure, but DrinkWater is correct about hitboxes. When a bullet enters a hitbox, it then does an expensive calculation to see if it's going to hit the physics model (in this case the car) and if it hits, then damage can be applied. If we have a hitbox under the chest category (let's say it's the car) and a hitbox under the head category (window area/players) it would be possible to do this. It's just a matter of how much work needs to go into it, and is it really worth it. Also, this isn't going to be accurate at all, like you'd see in grand theft auto games. Don't forget this is the source engine, and vehicles in source are shit.
