Ability to disable ClearLastDamagedBone

[SH42913]

Hey!

There are a lot of other script mods that rely on Last Damaged Bone(eg, my GSW2 mod) and when users tried to use both(DTF and GSW2) they encounter that one of mods clean damaged bone first and other got SKEL_ROOT always.

I see only one solution:

• All mods disable their ClearLastDamagedBone any way. GSW2 has that as an option in config, while DTF may have its native call under special define and release separate .dll with or without that.
• Special script with name like zzzzzzClearLastDamagedBone.dll that run last and only call native for all of peds

If you have any other solution, I will be happy to hear that

Hey there!

Sorry about the long wait, I was away from home for a while and missed this!

That's definitely an issue I had been aware of, but had been running under the assumption that "any other damage tracking mods are simply incompatible" due to the way that damage has to be tracked in GTA V. Though I can see now why that would be problematic when it comes to running different mods for different purposes under RPH and SHV...

Off the top of my head, I don't think this is a good solution as it will lead to missed damage for both GSW2 and DTF depending on execution order.

Something like this would be nice, I just wonder,, is the execution order done alphabetically? Does it differ between SHV and RPH at all?

One solution that would potentially work is to make a non-functional modified version of DamageTracker and then pass the data from GSW into the shared memory for DamageTrackerLib instead. That way everything will rely on GSW2. Or do it the other way round and release a version of GSW2 that relies on DamageTracker instead.

I could also look into hooking for damage updates but I'm not currently super active on this mod so I'm not sure what timeline I'd be able to give there.
