tja, het is verorberen en verorberd worden

I'm doing a private project and i came acroos some things:

-When does a monster get hurt? (i mean that it goes through it knees)
Is it timing, amount of damage, type of weapon or kind of random?
I always thought especialy with shamblers it's timing

-and wich monsters have this (afaik: all monsters except for scrags spawns and shub)

-Over all the years i always played with some kind of autoaim, I don't know if this is standard in quake or not: When I want to shoot a button and a monster is partly in the way i can aim what i want but I will always shoot the monster and miss the button. (this is very anoying on e4m7 i will or get lucky or kill two fucking zombies b4 i can shoot that button in the water. Can you turn this of?

sv_aim 1 turns that thing of.
0.93 is standard value.
anything between 0.93 - 1 is allowed (not lower than 0.93)

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

It's random how a monster will take a hit. It might fall down, it might get alittle hurt, or nothing at all can happen.

Hell is where the heart is.

Pain frames : A quick, wildly inaccurate summary.

All non-boss monsters except spawns have pain frames.

When a monster enters it's pain frames it stops what it's doing. i.e. attacking you.

When you inflict damage on a monster it will enter it's pain animation. If the monster has more than one animation it will randomly (not necessarily evenly) select which one to use. eg. the ogre has 5 from jerking slightly to getting knocked on it's arse for severl seconds.

Once the pain animation has finished there will be a delay before the monster will pain again. Typically between 1 and 5 seconds depending on the monster. For nightmare this time will be 5 seconds longer for all monsters.

Some monsters you need to do more than a certain (random) amount of damage before they will pain. Eg. Shambler 0-400, deathknight 0-30, scrag 0-70, fiend 0-200, etc.

Fish ALWAYS pain when you hit them.

Fiends don't pain while flying.

Interesting stuff. I take it all this is done in QuakeC?
