I say we do the following for headshots:

- Make them blow up, nuclear size explosion.

- Make them fly back 200 feet, 66 yards, however you want to swing it.  Basically, headshot bullets have a million tons of force.

- Make the spy catch the bullet with their teeth by biting it, but later the spies eventually die of lead poisoning in the game.

- Make the spy go "wtf was that?" and continue to live.

- The spy's head gets pinned to the wall, but the spy can still use his arms/legs/sticky shocker and all other gadgets.



On the serious side, I do really want rag doll, but it may look stupid in some cases.

Overstatement

I hate how ragdoll is the solution for every kind of death.

But, this isn't a ragdoll thread.

I'm sure your teachers might like to see some of the things you're doing for this project.
I don't know, maybe.

But your camera gets moved to the point of your head, so it's hard to see anything :P

lets make it so when the merc hs the spy, the spies camera follows the bullet towards himself, and when this happens you can control how wide his mouth is/ big his teeth are to stop the bullets, but its all in slowmotion ofcourse  ;)

But back on topic, yeh ragdoll would own. is it alot more work to have ragdoll? (sorry it comes across as an assy question but its not)

It takes some time to make the actual physics assets for the players, but when that's done, it's as easy as pie.

If my heart ever heals, I will make sure it'll never break again.

Actually it would be cool to see how you died, kinda like DA style.

Farley4Fan

No kill cam.  That just led to issues.  And you can usually tell where you died from.  If you couldn't tell where you died from then you don't deserve to see where/who you were killed by.

Xris

OK, well seeing the last bullet goign throught your body would be cool, agreed if u cant tell u were blown up by the proxy mine beside you, you should not be playing....

Multiple times i've been killed IN kill cam so I say no.

Project Stealth is only allowed by the Mod License to run on the full-game. So no demos.
I don't know what implications this has for non-legit copies of UT3. I advice to confirm if its legit and if not, get a legit one.

This is probably something you would never want to talk about really.

frvge

Correct, if you PM me, I'll remove it.
