Hi
How to do this for each weapon has its own death animations of zombies (axe-chopping off the head, the gun-breaking of the head) ?

nnn Which zombies? From a model pack. It could be done, but that would require custom animations.

Now something easier would be to make an "alt-texture" when the zombie receives damage
the alt-texture would kick in...just a thought or you could use "limb detection" so when you
hit/chop the head the texture would switch.
What I mean by "alt-texture" is taking the original and "masking out" the head area. (so the head-texture area is missing)
Save that with a unique name, and add it to the characters .fpe file. (alttexture= Name Of File)
The command to use is "alttexture=1" in the characters script. Use together with "rag doll" and you should have a nice zombie death ?
My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..

ncmako is right, if you want every death scene to be different based on the weapon you will need to make animations for each type of death and call them via AI.
Im not quite sure the altTexture solution would work though as it only lets you use a preset texture which would only be good in one type of situation such as headshot. Unless you are able to use "alttexture=filepath" for multiple????

I havent used the following commands/actions in a long time and cant remember if they work 100% but try using :
SHOTDAMAGETYPE=X (1-6) limb #: such as 1 for head or 6 for right leg.
then use the action HIDELIMB=X (1-17) limb # with 1 or 5&7 to hide the head or upper and lower right leg. As if it was blown off.
Maybe put some BLOODSPLASH=X or BLOODSPURT=x to hide the limb as it is blown off and SHOTDAMAGE=X to only take off the limb if damage exceeded x so that your not blowing the characters leg off with a spoon or somethin.

Anyways good luck, hope this led you in the right direction im eager to see how this works. If you cant accomplish it let me know I just may work on this for my project.
As always, Game on! -2S!K Productions

2S!K and ncmako , I don't think this is the best way to do it, it may be better to use disapperactivator command ?

nnn Well the zombie packs are gone now. There's one in the scifi folder/pack I think.
If you have GameGuru I believe it has some.
The alternate texture command "alttexture=x" can be used on any model. It's when the
character (model) receives damage, the script changes the texture for the character.
The new texture would be missing the head part
