Title says it all - an explosive should throw a character back and it ragdolls at the same time as it is technically dead.

Hmmmm. interesting concept. However, I dont suppose that changing the damage would do it. maybe making the explosion solid, but the entities con go in until they are covered in the fire, and then it throws them back - with the player too would be good.

It is not, currently in ragdoll all acceleration is set to 0, so the character just falls where it is.

I'd change the world, but I don't have the source code

You can set their "Explode" Field or something (not on development computer ATM) towards the physics section to "Yes". That should make it once you destroy the entity, it will ragdoll while exploding.

EDIT: If an explosive force is applied to a ragdoll'd object, shouldn't it fly back since there's force applied to the front. Of course, you can make it use the throwragdollback.fpi script by putting:

Somewhere in your code.

Thing is, the character will perform its fall-back animation, then ragdoll. This normally means he is laying on the floor just as in pre-1.17. In any other FPS/TPS game, a grenade will make a character fly up in the air, rather than just take damage and fall a bit further back as in FPSC.
If I set the Explode field to Yes, the character will disappear in a puff of smoke with a bang and I will take a bit of damage.

And in the first post, I meant that if I chuck a few grenades at it or shoot it with a LAW or bazooka. But nice concept of characters exploding when dead instead of just dying.

FPSC applies ragdoll AFTER the physics explosion, which is why they are only meagerly effected by the explosion.

The way it should be done (and the way it's done in many other engines) is to apply damage first, then if need be apply ragdoll to the models nearby, THEN apply physics impulse velocity.

I also would have enjoyed it if characters could go ragdoll... and then get back up if they still have health remaining.


The one and only,

That is an awesome idea. will you be including it in project blue? (assuming you still work on it)
