When you killed someone can you make the body respond on your shooting? Farcry does this really good. Or is the body just dead and is like an unmovable object. Do bodies disappear after a while? How? Do they just dissapear, like !POEFF!. Or do they fade away?

I hope the fading out is optional, since I'd like to be able to make the bodies to pile up!

I don't suffer from insanity:

I enjoy every minute of it!

You can change the FPI script which is executed when the entity is destroyed - so it may be possible to stop the fade-out.

Can you, by any chance, replace it with your own coding?

But how are the physics for a dead body? Can you make the arm move a bit when you shoot on it? Or aren't the physics that good?

There isn't any real time phyiscs yet. Apparently it's coming in either v1 or a separate pack.

I'm pretty sure the physics are in a separate addon.

Will there be spirits rising?

Can you put the bodies into coffins and invite people to the funeral, then go to church on Sunday and sing gospel music in celebration of the contributions they gave to the video game industry, or do I have to code this myself.

No this feature has been included in the EA release. You will be able to insert bodies into coffins with a single button click and an adjustable FPI script controls parameters including day_of_week_for_cermony, amount_of_mourners, and choir_volume. Unfortunately the time it took to program this feature has restricted any other feature from being included therefore sadly EA will ship with:

no melee weapons
no physics of any kind
no green goo or laser firing style weapons
no cutscenes
limited HUD capabilites
and
a reduced number of AI scripts and animations

Additionally due to bugs with the shader system and some deep rooted collison detection errors all 3D components will be temporarily removed and play will be limited to 2 dimensions. These issues *might* be revisted in v1... and then again they *might not*... it's really all rather hard and bothersome to post a conclusive answer to any question posted. Best you just wait and appreciate what you are given. Your input is just not necessary at this juncture.

disclaimer - easy big fella, yes i do have both a tongue and cheek... and one is planted firmly in the other.

Anybody remember that old TV show,

the effect when an alien bit the dust?

Seems like there could be a variety of death effects.
How about the Wicked Witch from East of Oz?

A new cottage industry?

Peace, the anti-Bush.

That's just plain cruel, Pogo. Even though Anoneweb *seemed* to be kidding, that doesn't mean you should just plaster him with complete sarcasm.

If you think I'm taking jibes at Anoneweb then you've missed the point completely. Besides he seemed to get the joke.

Anyway American humor tends to be more crude then dry.

Bottom line - it's just a joke. I keed. I keed.

I now return you to this important thread about the physics of dead bodies and thier included afterlife options or lack thereof

At heartbone, wow havnt heard of that one for a while, i was like 5 and it was on after thunderbirds !
I do agree would be nice to be able to fiddle with how the dead bodies are handled, most other stuff is fiddle-able-with so i hope so.
We shall see...

Once the ragdoll physics are here, will the carcasses kind of "jiggle" when you shoot them? And how much do you think the physics addon will cost? I assume it won't be free!

I believe there's another quote in response to this. . . :
Quote: " You can change the FPI script which is executed when the entity is destroyed - so it may be possible to stop the fade-out."

How hard it'll be, I don't know.
