Sabin Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I think knockback should be added to the game. For those who don't know what that is, it is when object, area, or entity is hit with a certain amount of force, that thing with move by a certain amount from it's present location to another.

Jerry Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 (edited) Unless you are hitting them with cars and such, knock-back (in the real world)is negligable at the scale involved. Edited August 20, 2003 by Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I believe this has been discussed, check the "Cars and Explosions" thread And we were talking about grenades and exploding petrol tanks knocking you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Also, check for the ragdoll physics thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGold Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 (edited) Hehe - I'm going to use this thread for my selfish promotion of an implemted RagDoll Physics Engine. It keeps popping up, so perhaps its worth REALLY looking into (please dont hurt me RK, I know I know). Are there absolutely no new coders in this project that wish to take it on?!

Cpl. Facehugger Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Ragdoll is a great idea GG. Just wait, once the most important coding is done, I'm sure someone will take up the banner of ragdoll physics coder. I would like to see ragdoll as soon asap though...

Aosar Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 as soon asap "as soon as-soon-as-possible" That's some odd wording, don't you think? Yeah, rag dolls. Rag sectoids! I think knockback should be added to the game. That would be included in the 'rag dolling'... Unless you are hitting them with cars and such, knock-back (in the real world)is negligable at the scale involved. Yeah, in real life. But this is a game, and I'd like to see the "flying sectoids" perform... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Poss with grenades and BB's etc. but it looks really fake when someone is blown 5m back from a rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Even if that bullet is a 40mm ap shell launched from a heavy cannon? Ragdoll and knockback are good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aosar Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 but it looks really fake when someone is blown 5m back from a rifle. Yeah, but they can fall backwards wich falls( :: ) into rag doll physics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 U tellin me that it's gonna be 40mm? That's like AAA fire, they gonna carry that round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aosar Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Even if that bullet is a 40mm ap shell launched from a heavy cannon? Actually the Heavy Cannon uses 20mm ammo, at least according to the latest CT... And I should know, har dee har har! U tellin me that it's gonna be 40mm? Yeah, he's telling you that, I'm telling him otherwize... :: Sorry, it's late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Well, even a 20 mm shell would knock you back quite a bit.(oops, thought we were basing it on grenade launchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 So I guess we all agree that knockback from explosive force would be a nice thing once there are coders with time on their hands.... Is there anything else to discuss about it that hasn't been brought up in the ragdoll physics or cars&explosion threads? If there is, let's post those ideas in one of those 2 threads, as this one hasn't opened any new angles. I'll close this thread so we don't dilute the ideas between duplicate threads.
