Quick static cows would only last a few seconds, until players start pumping them with their M4 and wonder why they don't bleed or die.

Even the simplest of animals need basic AI and animations. Actually, cows would only really need five anims:

- stand

- walk (trot?)

- run (gallop?)

- eat (grase?)

- die

And their AI would be:

- stand around

- eat at random intervals

- make a "moo" sound at random intervals

- walk a few steps to a random location at random intervals

- run away a few meters if in danger

That's all really. Damn I want the tools. All this thinking about cows has made me want to make a cow.

I want to make a cow!!! yay.gif

c0ws are allot more sophisticated!!!

They have sex too!

He forgot watching trains and cars passing by.  tounge2.gif

...and...

"following you about - even if you throw stones at them to shoo them away",

"suddenly appearing out of the darkness at night and scaring the crap out of you",

"coming over for a chat when you're trying to spy on the IRA",

"going insane and stampeding with a bunch of cowfriends through your bivouac"

and of course...

"dropping manure" (the latter could be implemented as a landmine in ArmA -

making a squelching sound rather than a bang)

LOOOOL

imagine:

you have been crawling for an half hour to get to that perfect spot to snipe the bad general and end the war; the most important mission of the war. Just a few minutes and his ugly face wiil show, allowing for you to give him an extra hole in his head for breathing through......

Suddenly your belly feels kinda moist and a bit warm.... funny smell all of the sudden too...

You get up a bit to see what this is and you are shot immediately by a sentry you missed. Mission screwed.....

Lost the war thanks to.....

cowdung!!! confused_o.gif

No...... let's not do this smile_o.gif

Cow poo could also be used as a weapon. No ammo? Throw dung!

i would probably enjoy making a joke version that does explode, maybe without damage or maybe with. imagine an airport being disabled because of cow dung.
