FOR PEOPLE THROWN THROUGH THE AIR..


It is SOOO FUCKEN BORING to see some dude flying through the air with his hands on his rifle at the alert state..

I WANT SOMETHING THAT SAYS "YOU ARE FLYING! FLAIL YOUR FUCKEN ARMS AROUND!!!"

lol..

Use HitByWeaponID

Yeah things get a little weird then stuff are lauched far in the air. I remember once that a small kbot (dont remember wich) was flying in an almost horizontal tragetory and was hit and destroyed in air by the shot of a armed mex of mine. Since they are never that accurate or that fast, it was quite weird :)

There is something hardcore when a flying Maverick fails to flail as he hits a Wind Gen.

this won't quite cut it.

My mortars throw infantry one helluva long distance, sometimes. But other times, they get thrown almost nowheres...

So, could I get it to check if he is still flying through the air? Or, what.. I don't think it would look good to have him flailing around, while lying on the ground, unless dying...

Am i doin it rite?
get PIECE_Y(desu) - get GROUND_HEIGHT(get PIECE_XZ(desu) > x

use get PRINT to check if one of the groundheight checks changes when the unit is flying, hopefully one will.

Wouldnt a bomb strong enough to lauch someone sky high reduce a human to small pieces of burned meat before lauching him sky high? :)

unless it's a space marine!

In that case there would be no gravit to pull in back down right? So he flying like he was walking would be perfectly feasible... :)

Space Marines aren't necessarily in zero G.

Try using something like this:


if(get PIECE_Y(XXX) - get GROUND_HEIGHT(get PIECE_XZ(XXX)) > THRESHOLD);
{
wave arms code here
}

Where XXX is some suitable piece and TRESHOLD is some suitable number.

How about doing the physics calculations in a more artificial and comical way and allowing it to be user defined as well?

- partially interactable curve which the (mobile) target will travel along (length, angle of climb)
- user defined min or max speed/accel.
- either fixed fall damage, percentual based on weapon damage or based on impact strength
- model stays either upright or uses the angle based on 2 points on the curve (i.e. position-1 and position+1)

Animations such as unit spinning in the air, wiggling limbs, etcetera can be done by script, basically what zpock said.

Infantry can climb up mountains, and when hit by nades, they fly low and far
