Is anyone using the death animations/Severity at all?

[Snipawolf]

I plan on doing quite a lot of stuff using this, is anyone else doing so?

I am planning on normal severity being infantry just falling down, then 150 will have them losing a limb or two, then 200 will guarantee at least 2 parts lost, 250 or more and they will fly through the air as best as scripting can, while losing a couple of limbs.. Then anything more than that and splat..

I am planning death animations in the next version of NanoBlobs. I was planning to put it into 0.6, but ran out've time.

Good death animations and explosions probably take as much effort as the rest of the script. That's the only problem. :S

I can't wait to see the horrors that Snipa will inflict on his scraming infantry men. If they are HALF as amuzing as the death animatinos in Fallout, then I'm going to be happy playing your mod.

How sophisticated are these death animations, by the way? Very or very not?

Ginta has some death animations, but I'm not sure how good they are yet.

The GINTA infantry spawn a modeled red blob when dying and is probably using the explo generator as well for some red dirt.

Not too sophisticated, just a limb or two popping off and some red bloody explosions.. And that sweet death sound I found.. Or, something, like an arm, or leg.. Them screaming while falling to the ground groping at their leg, or arm..

Depends, I don't think I'll describe all of 'em..

What really limits this is the fact that we don't have ragdolls, or physics, to make them fly a lot easier..

I'm not using the explo generator yet because I never managed to make custom explosions work. The explosions got removed in a later version since they create an explosion sprite that looks out of place.

Buildings collapse and tanks have their turret blown off, though.

Animations are already too hellish for me to bother with right now. I plan to use it in the future though.

Id actually like to kbots get damage that shows, like lose an arm at 50% percent health, or show some missing parts, no one has done that yet.

[Snipawolf]

I will

50% health for infantry will show a 50% move speed decrease.. At 30% he will lose a limb And move speed and accuracy with it..

10% and he can't move/fight..

[1v0ry_k1ng]

should have a propaganda unit which after a battle can be used to capture all the enemies under 10% health units... only units would attack the 10% units till they were dead not leave them crippled

[Snipawolf]

Or just have a unit run around and capture them,..

[1v0ry_k1ng]

is there a capture unit?

[esteroth12]

heh... you could do some pretty cool things, esp. with a krog, white base/gaw, and pretty much anytihng else that big

when they are flea-sized, its going to be pretty hard to make it obvious that the unit is doing anything other than dying...

[KDR_11k]

Final Frontier has ships that lose parts as their damage gets greater.

[rattle]

My thopter randomly loses a gun while getting damaged (and the weapon locks up as well) and the rocketlauncher on it when below 25% of health. It's really easy.
