rye1 21 Posted August 24, 2012 Doesn't have to be simultaneously in such an exacting fashion if the guy behind can stay close and go over a shoulder of the lead. Does for some techniques, but then again if there wasn't the same opening for each building maybe we could see slightly bigger openings where it was at least possible. Then again if we are allowed, through character collisions, to maintain closer spacing during a stack or entry then that would work too but not to the best extent of gameplay.

smookie 11 Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think it will be possible, I think it will be similar to the prone to stand transition where one hand is used to push the upper body off the ground. man of little faith... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted August 24, 2012 Isn't that "ye of little faith"? :D Anyway, I'm liking all the little hints we've been getting these past couple of days. New info is always good, even the small things. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madeon 6 Posted August 24, 2012 man of little faith... Holy crap! Well that's awesome news Smookie, the amount of detail you guys are putting into Arma3 is incredible, I look forward to seeing these new animations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rye1 21 Posted August 25, 2012 How would you end up on your back? Ragdoll? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chortles 263 Posted August 25, 2012 I'd actually be interested in that, as BRINK had a knockdown mechanic (leaving the character supine but able to fire their weapon), however so far there's the manual option of Ctrl+W from prone to go sitting/supine (I prefer the "Last Stand" name for trolling purposes though).

BasileyOne 10 Posted August 25, 2012 How would you end up on your back? Ragdoll? :p why not ? after players checked "yes im 18yrs/21yrs old and aware about UN/UNESCO/FBI articles #xxx and #xxx and signed here and here" checkbox, of course ;-) bad thing to properly used it need lot of [high-freq and (rel)high-res]physics to work/perform realistically/meaningful. and that can consume LOT of [CPU or OpenCL(never ever heard about DirectCompute approach to physix or ragdoll sim)]resources, sadly :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rye1 21 Posted August 29, 2012 Sorry didn't see this post. Yes I know it can happen in reality but in game I was asking specifically, is it actually engine-gameplay wise possible for A3 engine? Related video, some good practices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Regarding ragdoll stances - a lot of things can be done with it, including, Heaven forbid, jumping. :icon_mrgreen: The way I understand it, is that your character is no longer tethered to the world/ground as had been the case in previous ArmA iterations. I could be wrong, but the impression given off every time you somehow ended up even a millimetre off the surface, that it was not meant to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only activates when you've already lost control and the game engine is just processing your poor broken body :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a point, wonder how the char reacts to landing, reacts to certain fall distances and types. Static landing, bend the knees? Mobile landing, fall to the floor or break roll? Does your character do an animation whilst falling as seen in GTA IV? EDIT: Ninja'd by DMarkwick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It only activates when you've already lost control and the game engine is just processing your poor broken body :) I'd think the world-character interaction would change in some way. :/ Can't believe it's going to be "miss one step and keep flying on a linear trajectory down the stairs."

No, world-character interaction will be unchanged. Ragdoll is implemented upon death (or also perhaps unconsciousness/stun fingers crossed) and has no functionality before that.

smookie 11 Posted August 29, 2012 I had my limbs removed for that session. My earlier remark concerned the falling & (lack of) ragdoll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collision detection/physics would be improved thanks to physX, though i dont know if its any better in A3 as i havent played it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
