Title says it - A character dies, and the corpes disapear shortly after. Is there a way to change that?
Can I make them stay?

I've tried to do this myself. But what i find is you can get the characters to die/ragdoll. but then they teleport back to a given position. No way that i can figure out on how to get them to ragdoll and recover. Maybe someone has figured this out?

Would be great if GG had more spawning and respawning options in the property panel to help out with these processes. We used to have something like this in FPSC.

Spawn at Start (start spawned on map or wait to be triggered)
Respawn (enable or disable respawn)
Respawn Time (Duration)
Respawn Count (how many times it can respawn)

can you just use the preexit?


afaik a model shouldn't be cleaned away until it reaches the exit(e) function and the above will stop it doing so
though keeping a bunch of fully animated and detailed models for dead bodies is a bit of a bad idea in general unless you only have a few AI in the area

In this vein, but different, (apologies for hi-jack) is it posssible to make a character spawn as a corpse? I'd like to make a disaster scene, using characters that had been alive in previous scenes.

if they ragdoll then simply set their hp to 0 right away
SetEntityHealth(e,0)
if not you will just want to play or set the death animation
SetAnimationFrames(#,#)
PlayAnimation(e)
(if you don't want the entire animation to play out set the frames to the end of the animation)

doiing it in the init(e) part should be fine

I actually prefer the death anim without the Ragdoll.
Weird I know. But they do look daft in mid air

I think so, bad idea for perfomance sake.

Thanks smallg. I'll give it a go. I have such low performance kit that the performance hit may actually be the killer
