Point Blank

While shooting a firearm, if you are within extreme proximity of the target zombie, the target will instantly die. (Or take alot of damage, if you configure it in sandbox options)

---SANDBOX OPTIONS---

___Point Blank - Effective Range___
Zombies shot closer than this range will be affected by point blank damage
HF_PointBlank.PointBlankEffectiveRange = 1.85;

___Point Blank - Instant Kill___
If TRUE, when shooting a zombie within point blank range, they die instantly. If FALSE, the values below help determine bonus damage
HF_PointBlank.PointBlankInstantKill = true;

___Point Blank - Minimum Bonus Damage___ (ONLY USED WHEN InstantKill is DISABLED)
This is the minimum amount bonus damage that is applied. IE, if your damage is .0001, it would up the bonus damage to .2
HF_PointBlank.PointBlankMinimumBonusDamage = .15;

___Point Blank - Bonus Damage Multiplier___ (ONLY USED WHEN InstantKill is DISABLED)
This multiplier is applied to your bonus damage from above. This does NOT affect BASE damage value, ONLY bonus damage.
HF_PointBlank.PointBlankBonusDamageMultiplier = .4;

___Point Blank - Min Ticks Between Point Blank Kills___
You can set this higher to enforce a "cooldown" between point blank kills. By default, this ensures point blank cant trigger multiple times in a single tick

___Point Blank - Disable Multiplayer Command Updates___
For debugging purposes. You shouldn't change this. But if you're having server/client/networking issues, this will disable synchronous server/client updates. Without this, when you pointblank kill a zed, there can be a delay for them appear dead for other players.

Damage Equation: TotalDamage = BaseDamage + PointBlankDamage
PointBlankDamage = (Max(BaseDamage,PointBlankMinimumBonusDamage) * PointBlankBonusDamageMultiplier )

Hidden from sandbox options, for debugging:
HF_PointBlank.bAreLogMessagesEnabled = false;
