Bullet raycasting against ped's body parts

[in0finite]

Bullet raycasting should not be done against CharacterController (capsule collider), but against ped's mesh. The problem is that there is no way to raycast against skinned mesh. The best solution seems to be attaching colliders to each body part, and raycasting against them. This creates additional problems. Should these colliders be the same for all peds ? Or should they be generated at runtime based on ped's model (which adds performance costs) ?

This is needed for:

• Detecting which part of body was hit (so that damage can be applied accordingly).
• Precise shooting - capsule collider doesn't match ped's body.
• Damaging ped while he is in vehicle - currently, there is no way to kill ped while he is in vehicle. In original game, you can shoot ped at the head while he is sitting, and you can shoot him while he is doing drive-by (?).

This issue is related to #34, which also needs colliders attached to each body part.

Doesn't Unity build colliders for ragdolls using bones? These colliders could be used for that.

Yes, he does. That's why I referenced other issue. Still, it's not clear if it can be done at runtime, and how much time it takes.

Done as of commit 8365939.
