BSDismemberSkinInstance
From GECK
BSDismemberSkinInstance is a type of NiSkinInstance that contains data about dismemberment partitions and are required for BodyPartDatas.
Contents
Specifics
Its fields are:
- Data: Should always be NiSkinData.
- Skin Partition: Should always be NiSkinPartition.
- Num Bones: Total number of bones in the chain, from the root bone of the skeleton to the last bone in the dismemberment partition(s).
- Bones: Links to each bone as stated above.
- Num Partitions: Total number of dismemberment partitions.
- Partitions: Visibility and enable flags for dismemberment partitions, as well as which body part they belong to.
- Part Flag: PF_EDITOR_VISIBLE determines if the partition is always visible or is unhidden when dismembered (gorecaps have this turned off), PF_START_NET_BONESET seems to be necessary on the first partition in order for dismemberment to behave correctly, although some vanilla NIFs have it on multiple partitions.
- Body Part: Which dismembered limb the partition belongs to for both dismemberment and Body Parts in BodyPartData. The table below lists all of the ones in Fallout 3/New Vegas.
Body Parts
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| BP_TORSO | The torso of the body. Normally can't be destroyed unless you have Bloody Mess. |
| BP_HEAD | The head of the body. |

| BP_LEFTARM | The left arm of the body. |
| BP_LEFTARM2 | The second left arm of the body. Radscorpions, Centaurs, and Cazadores use it for one of their legs. |
| BP_RIGHTARM | The right arm of the body. |

| BP_RIGHTLEG2 | The second right leg of the body. Most non-bipeds use this for one of their legs. |
| BP_RIGHTLEG3 | The third right leg of the body. Centaurs and most insect creatures use this for one of their legs. |

Notes
- Polygons cannot be assigned to multiple dismemberment partitions, as it crashes the game if a model with them is loaded. This may only be possible with 3ds Max plugins.
- Dismemberable partitions on other dismemberable partitions besides the torso don't dismember correctly and may cause crashes.
- There may be a limit to the amount of dismemberment partitions on a single shape, but it's around 20 and shouldn't be reached unless you use all of them at once.
- The dismemberment system was created by Hugh Riley.
