Ragdoll Effect

MrShad · November 2009

You know when you die there are certain ways u fall? It doesnt seem to realistic when a little part of your footis on the ground but the rest is floating. What the ragdoll effect would do is that the body would let loose and bend to its obstacle and it would fall off. And it would be funny when somebody gets killed by a grenade there body would blast to the wall then slide down and watch there blood go down the wall as the body slides down the wall.
Well what do you think?

I hope you get wat i mean

That'd be sweet.. But i doubt they'd be able to do it.

lol they dont have that in a lot of games..they have it in warrock..sorta..but yea..it wuld be cool..but this wuld probably be one of the..latest patches they'd have XP

It sounds like it'd make the game better, but that seems like it would be too much for the company to change the code of the game and stuff to get it done, so not much of a chance of them doing it, expecially with a free game.

Sounds doable but... having ragdoll physics implemented would mean some major re-writing of the game code and it would raise the system requirments and lead to systems with lower specs freezing or crashing (since the last patch my PC totally freezes when I get a "in your face headshot" with the blood turned on) so if you had to start crunching ragdoll motions you would run into some problems. It would be really cool for different death animations since the standard "get shot, body half flips in air, lands" is kinda unrealistic, but its a free game so I'm personally satisfied with the effects in it now.

This will alter your system requirements and a major code overdo in the engine, is all this work necessary for just having people die a bit more realistic?

MrShad · November 2009

I'm not talking bout flips in air, im talking bout ur body doesnt have a ceratin way to die, its a ragdoll wen it dies. and wen i said "go flying" i meant that wen u get killed by a grenade,u get thrown into the wall (if ur near one). And it isnt that hard, and i think it would be easier on the system requirements not harder on it. Because they have multiple codes to die sertain ways, if they get rid of those, they only have to put in 1 code saying to let the body lose. So that eans way less codes. And if ur computer cant handle patches, then get a new cpu or dont play CF.

You mean ''spiderman''?

When you fall you usually float, thats our friend spiderman, RIGHT THERE!

Id go for it, lots of fps games dont have that, wonderful idea m8

Not true, using ragdoll physics, yes physics, would require a way more processing power than it does now. right now if you die the game goes:
Chrachter is dead run scipted animation. which doesnt require alot of proccessor power
if you introduce Ragdolls your processor has to think about tragectory, velocity and distance. which increases the ammount of power needed by the proccessor, and say the body hits a wall the proccessor then has to think about the force of the rebound off the wall.

What Memory said...

http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=28 This is the official thing

Technical: Number 11 ( I think)

iShockeR · November 2009

Thats not a bad idea and yes I get what you mean it doesn`t look as if you "die", you just fall down the ragdoll is a good idea so it looks like you actually "died"

lBoTcHl · November 2009

What happens when you shoot a dead body?

Striker755 · November 2009

Like memory said it is much harder on the system requirements, also it is A LOT MORE code than you might think. Far more than the current animations infact.

Floobs · November 2009

Would be nice, cant say i care for watching how people die though.

Would be too much work too.

It requires a MAJOR reworking of the game engine and code, and I mean MAJOR. The patch required for it will probably screw over everyone's game. Also, it requires more processing power as your computer must calculate trajectory, rebounds, velocity and such. Is all this necessary for just one little thing?

Dude, that would be cool. But, my computer lags enough as is. it would be nice to have ragdoll death but then it again if it were to happen, it would probaly be after zombie mode or if the CrossFire team have nothing better to do.
