I would like to figure out how to make dead bodies for my battle scene. player is supposed to get there after the firefight and I need Russian loyalist corpses. I have looked in the strecher.gsc, hunted.gsc (crash scene), and scoutsniper.gsc( throwing corpses in pond) but am still overwhelmed. They all have extra functions and parameters that probably are useful, but right now all i want is a dead guy laying in the dirt. If i cant get a simple function for dead guys i may just have to line them all up and shoot them before the player walks in (not very professional imo).

any ideas where to start?

there are a few good models that you can use. i dont remember the names off memory but use the mapper's delight tool ( the xmodel viewer ) which comes very handy for going through models pretty fast. check it out its in the dl sections i believe.

i know there is the marine_demo corpse models, which is what i believe you are referring to. but being set in russia, it would look out of place to see abunch of dead marines i think. I may yet end up useing them, but is there some way to run a looping "dead" anim on a charachter? or should i use drones?

all ideas are helpful

no but i am referring to russian they have dead marines and dead russions as well and even dead opforce. ive seen it. use the mapper's delight to go through it and u will see.

they have bloodied body/head models for the ai/ally/russian_dead guys, but they are alive like all other ai until shot.

I am currently trying to replicate the pond scene from scoutsniper, and if i get that working i might be able to use the dead body functions to make random corpses aswell as throwable ones.

i will look through the xmodels again, but my guess is it is the body models.

ty, and i will reply with results of my first test (fingers crossed X )

ok but know that they do exist lol

The title of this thread is just crying out for a really bad joke.

lol i just got it lol

You could export the dead guy models from WaW...there are three or four there...

there are also some anims. you could just spawn some ai guys(dead russian soldiers exist as ai) and let em play a loopanim.

hope it helps
