Bullet Holes and Blood Splatter?

[Oni]

Can anybody please tell me how to go about making bullet holes appear when an active object(bullet) hits a backdrop? I would really appreciate it.
Also, can anybody tell me how to make a blood splatter effect whenever an enemy NPC gets hit with a bullet? Preferably make it splatter at the impact point. Thanks a lot, guys.

well, for blood splatter at the impact point, the best way is to make an active object for the blood, and when the bullet collides with the NPC - create the blood from the bullet itself, and then destroy the bullet object.

Hope that helps a bit.

I was hoping for more of a particle effect for the blood splatter.

so when it happens, make it run a fastloop to create lots of blood? you can make it make more than just 1 you know.

The bullet hole is ease, it's pretty much creating an active object where the bullet used to be, then pasting that active into backdrop and destroy the active.

That only works if the backdrop is one color, because anything other then a solid color will leave a noticeable mark.

How exactly would I go about doing this?

Andos have made a great example of this.

What? Why would it do that? That really depends on the image, and whenever you use a decen alpha channel image.

The method I've seen used in many examples just cuts a hole out of a backdrop by pasting a black circle onto it. The background has to be black for it to not stick out. I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but that is the main way I have seen it done in the past.
