Is it possible to be able to attach a script to the bullets of something? I tried doing it through an object hook but then I found out that it didn't catch things such as bullets, etc. Sad

Is there a better(or another) way of getting something's GameObject? Right now I'm just attaching scripts to them in my object hook.

Bullets aren't gameobjects and you can't attach scripts to them.

Yeah, more's the pity. Sometimes it would be SO useful to have events for both weapon firing and bullet impact (including WHAT it impacted on and x,y,z location of final impact etc).

*sigh*....

If where bullets land are client side, then how would the server know if the bullet hit the head or arm or leg or whatever?

The clients sends it Wink

Because big head isn't server side, lol.
You still send info about where you are shooting.

If it was serverside, big head wouldn't work.

What RoShamBo means is that damage against infantry and vehicles is clientside.. I don't really know what he's trying to say about bullets only being clientside though. Because if they were then buildings would be invincible. ;[

When someone has a RoF hack, if the bullets were server side, everyone would see it stright away. Instead, they don't because all the clients sends is that you are shooting and in the general direction. All you see if the player shooting like normal. The server will look at the path and if it collides with a building mesh then it does the damage.
