"Search" animation...

[Archangel35757]

After playing Sniper Elite / Sniper EliteV2 -- I really like how they have a "search" animation... where the player kneels down to search a corpse. If you are prone you play a different search animation... it adds more realism I think... rather than having an NPC drop what he's carrying-- except the primary weapon (not grenades) does get dropped. Grenades, ammo, etc. are taken off corpse.

 

They also have a "carry corpse" animation (over-shoulder style) where you can hide the body-- for those missions where you have to remain stealthily hidden... and you have patrolling guards.

 

I think these features would be nice to have.

They would rock. I'd love to have similiar functionality in my mod.

I don't think such a feature would be good for JK2/JKA's gameplay.

How so? You search with your free hand... you never drop, or put away your weapon... however you can't fire until the search finishes. This could also let you take the command keys/pens off of dead imperial officers. Rather than run into an icon on the floor.

Would be awesome. Seems like a lot of work though. You'd have to code in a loot system, where the NPC's are carrying those items. I'm all for it, but we are still a very small team. If someone wants to volunteer this function, go for it.

Here's a screen capture of how the animations look in SniperEliteV2:

 

 

There would be a variation of a prone search...

I could see it being useful for rp

fwiw, there's a debug command that lets you drag NPCs around by their arm. Could probably apply that to dead bodies, but it likely wouldn't affect gameplay.

I know it's been almost a year but... do you know the name of that debug command?

g_breakarm i think?
