Hi. I'm trying to make a weapon with a script that runs on the targeted NPC. I already got the script and everything working but only when the damage is at least 1. Setting the damage to 0 makes the engine think you missed (or at least I'm guessing it does) and doesn't run the on impact script. If the weapon does do damage then the script runs, but now the NPC is angry because you shot him. Are there any simple workarounds for this issue, ideally without alerting the NPC or interrupting animations? I'm aware of the "minor crime" setting that makes the NPCs forgive you if you holster your weapon, but I don't want to have to do that after each shot.
