Ranged weapon messaging suggestion

[Dzynna]

Can we please have it where if we aim/fire at a specific body part, the messaging informs us that it took?

Currently, if you type AIM <critter> <bodypart>, you get this message:

You begin to aim a shot at a <critter>.

Instead, perhaps it could say:

You begin to aim a shot at a <critter's> <bodypart>.

Likewise, when firing at one, instead of it saying:

<msg>, you fire a <weapon> at a <critter>. <moremsg>

it could say:

<msg>, you fire a <weapon> at a <critter's> <bodypart>. <moremsg>.

i don't think that aiming at body parts works yet.

It doesn't, per se. AIM <critter> <place> is unnecessary at this point because just using FIRE will not work to shoot that place. FIRE <critter> <place> will (but this also does not indicate where you were trying to shoot).

So does that mean that right now, you can't get the benefit of aiming for a specific part? You get the benefit of aiming, but as far as specific targeting is concerned, it's like a snapshot?

[HR-Trevor]

You get the benefit of AIMing no matter whether you do aim chith or aim chith head. It just won't actually try to hit its head unless you do shoot chith head. Using aim chith head is no different than aim chith.

So do we get the full bonus from AIMing if we shoot head or shoot chest? Are all body parts the same difficulty to hit?

can we get a message if we try to shoot at a body part that doesn't exist?

i'm not talking about ones already completely destroied (we get a message for those), i'm talking about like, aiming for the thorax of a borkin.
