...if the enemy is stationary, this illusion could be pulled off easily, using .fpi script.

Stock FPSC lacks the ability to have a moving enemy drop anything when killed, other than a weapon...

make a global variable for all the enemies in the level, and every time that variable is reduced, spawn stuff... but I dont know how you could spawn stuff on the enemys carcus. maybe just GIVE the player the stuff

...this would be one possible workaround for this illusion.

Enemy Killed = Pickup Spawns

Have pickups spawn in an area out of player's view, with .fpi tweaked to allow instant pickup by player.

A variation on this (giving more control to the player) would be to have the player press a key, to pickup the item.

A timer could be used, so that the item would only be available for a certain amount of time.

Other than the fact that the player would never see any of the pickups, it'd work like a charm...

You could always display a HUD that shows what item is being picked up. There wouldn't be a physical representation in the immediate area, but if you spawn the HUD until the timer runs out or the player presses the key, maybe this will give the illusion that the item has been dropped?

...this is true.

A HUD would be a good way to enhance the illusion.

If you can't tell by now, I'm BIG on HUDs. Love them!
