Strange behaviur with shotgun in bubblehead minigame

[ThePlatinumGhost]

In bubblehead Even if I aim to the head with the shotguns, they don't do any damage
with other weapons all works fine

Ps: As far as I understand the damage block is only applied to bullets right? so the crowbar can do damage anywhere

Yea that's a problem with GMod / the hit detection of shotguns. It seems that headshots are not possible with shotguns (not as headshot detections), maybe I need to do the detection on my own to make it work :/

And yea, currently just bullets are restricted

[TimGoll]

headshots with shotguns in general are not possible

[Alf21]

I could scale any damage dealt as "no headshot" down to e.g. 10% (ConVar), that could solve this issue and still keep the focus on making headshots...

[ThePlatinumGhost]

In the current state with new users I always have to specify not to take shotguns that don't work, is there really no possibility to count the shotgun headshot?
One solution would be to remove all shotguns on the map for one round only, but I think it's impossible

Maybe this gonna work, I'll investigate it if I got some time: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/GM:PlayerTraceAttack

Marked this as rejected because I don't have the time investigating deep gmod issues currently. Probably one of the active ArcCW / ... (weapon base) devs could give a look into :)
