Z0MBiE 5 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Is there a way to make a dead unit come back to life after a certain amount of time? Would be a bit more realistic for my zombies than having them respawn out of thin air I think. :D Edited July 31, 2012 by Z0MBiE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonekiller 174 Posted July 31, 2012 Is there a way to make a dead unit come back to life after a certain amount of time? Would be a bit more realistic for my zombies than having them respawn out of thin air I think. not that i have found so far even if you use a death animation it seems that you can not make the AI use any other animation after that on a deticated server you just endup with dead bodys moving around have a look at my WALKING DEAD to see how i make biten AI turn into zombies.

Z0MBiE 5 Posted July 31, 2012 Damn, I actually thought this would have been an easy one and was a silly question haha Thanks for the reply anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted July 31, 2012 ArmA is a military simulator not a Zombie simulator, as much as DayZ might want to convince you otherwise. There's not a lot of raising the dead in war. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

celery 8 Posted July 31, 2012 So it's not possible? Well, in one of my zombie mission prototypes, I created a new unit to replace the dead one and made it assume a prone animation while initializing the zombie procedures for that unit. Not exactly pretty, but it conveyed the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

igneous01 19 Posted July 31, 2012 not that i have found so fareven if you use a death animation it seems that you can not make the AI use any other animation after that on a deticated server you just endup with dead bodys moving around have a look at my WALKING DEAD to see how i make biten AI turn into zombies. could try the "agony_start" animation, that makes them drop to the ground and lie in a way that looks dead, after can playaction "agony_end" to make it look like they are back up. You would probably need a handledamage EH to make sure the unit does not get killed, then setdamage some body part to make him look dead, then playactions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
