Procedural Hit Reactions

Breathe life into your characters with Procedural Hit Reactions – a modular, lightweight, and powerful system for dynamic, physical hit responses!

No need for countless animations or complicated setups — whether you're making shooters, action RPGs, VR games, or anything in between, this asset gives you smooth, believable hit reactions with minimal effort.

This system is actively updated and evolving — many more features and improvements are on the way!

🌟 Key Features

• Bone-Specific Reactions: Easily attach reactions to any bone or body part — head, chest, arms, even props.
  
• Customizable Reaction Profiles: Use simple ScriptableObjects to define reaction strength, rotation, translation, blend curves, and timing.
  
• Directional Awareness: Make impacts feel real by reacting to incoming bullet vectors or contact points.
  
• Additive or Override Modes: Blend reactions into your existing Animator-driven motions — or skip animations entirely and apply procedural motion directly to Transforms.
  
• Advanced Blending Controls: Fine-tune blend-in/out speeds, simulate heavy impacts with Slow Blend Mode, or carry over previous reactions for ultra-smooth realism.
  
• Follow-Through Effects: Make connected bones (hair, weapons, gear) naturally trail behind the main impact motion.
  
• Plug-and-Play Projectile Integration: Easily add our included HitReactionTrigger script to any projectile, melee weapon, or explosion — and automatically trigger hit reactions on collision. Supports both Rigidbody-based and Transform-based projectiles!
  
• Minimal Setup, Maximum Power: No runtime rig rebuilds. No heavy Animator constraints. Just plug, configure, and react!
  
• Full Flexibility: Works with animated characters (Animator) or static objects — all handled procedurally through Transform overrides when needed.

• Third-Person Shooters
• First-Person Games
