   This isn't going to be just a material solution. Its a combination of material and the hit detection portion of the game. Using UDK as a base look in the "takeDamage" function of the actor class. Included in that is a vector for hit location. So for your player class using this material you're creating you can have a hook…

   um.. yeah Kismet is nice, but its not a substitute for uscript. Its more like a "lite" version for whats most used in level design and machinima. If you want to go the particle effect route, which might be the easiest and potentially only way to go without coding something, you can use kismet to spawn a particle of your…

   Actually, that could be problematic, but that also could be useful for other ideas I have, thanks mate! Haha, most likely you WILL get it before me, I'm swamped in work and was hoping to learn a quick shader effect or two for gameplay, emphsis on 'Quick' here, but considering on how bad I am in Kismet, I most likely will…
