[WIP] Ragdoll Physics

[Sithani]

Hi

Just wanted to share a little something I've been working on - adding ragdoll physics to Jedi Academy's single player.

Still pretty rough, it's a big pain, not gonna lie, but I'm excited about how it's shaping up.

You can tell how much of a pain it is watching the progress in a few clips, from the very first basic test to where it stands today.

First test:

 

Starting to get bones to actually move:

 

Kinda starting to work?:

 

Current state, still very rough:

First video my first thought immediately went to: 

 

 

But seriously, it's amazing work you're doing,

Nice! This game needs real doll physics for a long time!

And free slicing of models

Ground/wall collisions kind of work now. Still very very rough, but it's a milestone for me

Good job dude, this is cool!

Jedi Academy's single-player campaign already has ragdoll physics.

 

Right?

I believe in your coding strength!

It has limited ragdoll with the broadsword command, but that's no-where near as advanced as something you'd find in say Garry's Mod or most games since then.

Type /broadsword 100 ingame, experiment with values like 1 to 100 to 1000 and do /kill to quickly check

It's ragdoll like death animations
