Ragdolls need to be more...ragdolly

[Qonfused]

Most of the ragdoll deaths in CS:S look...weird and not life-like. I'm not sure how to exactly explain it...like when they get blown up from grenades the fly straight...weird. I was just thinking it would be better if it was like America's Armys' ragdolls.

Anyone else think so...?

tell me, have you ever thrown a grenade at a real person ? you know what happens, theres nothing left of them.

so really, all you need to do is accept you cant create a physics engine to beat theirs and you'll be fine

 

[Dem0nEgg]

Grenades don't blow people apart, they shower shrapnel from the casing (and sometimes pellets of metal) at high velocities... which of course imbeds itself in any "soft targets" who may be nearby.

Real life != Quake Deathmatch

I don't know if the force of a grenade explosion would blow people into the air, it would sure as hell knock you off your feet if you were close enough.

(I think a grenade would only blow you apart if you were holding it when it went off.... you wouldn't have an arm left for sure.)

 

[Drizzt]

ya, a grenade does not have enough power to blow a person apart.

People survive grenades blowing up right next to them. The have slight burns and shrapnel embeded in the faces, but they survive. Grenades don't pack enough power to get a body air bourne or to blow a limb off a body.

They dont? hold one in ur hand and try it then

Yeah but it sure makes it more fun..

 

[jmjneary]

grenades = different from land mines


well if you packed a grenade in theroy it could blow limbs off but that would make no sence because they are ment to be small but you could have like a c4 basketball thatll do

 

[FictiousWill]

only about one in 10 cs:s deaths are ragdolly, the rest are collapses and slumps againsts walls and look damn good imo. I like the cs:s ragdolls much much better than hl2's because they're much heavier, like farcry. Have I ever mentioned I loved Farcry's ragdolls? yes? well ok then.

That would blow your hand off perhaps, but not your whole arm. Also, it would knock you off your feet, but not into the air. But as someones said...it sure looks pretty

 

[Pesmerga]

Grenades do cause enough force to quickly knock someone off their feet, for sure. If the explosion occurs above the waistline then you're more than likely to be forced to the ground. I just don't see why a simple force equation is applied to the bones where the explosion occurs. Although I'm sure the mechanics in ragdolls are more complicated than that.

 

[MurderScene]

damnit people, CS isnt a realistic game!

 

[Hectic Glenn]

yeah that combined with the fact most people complain the rag dolls are too bendy. e.g. a body wouldnt lean backwards on its knees, it would fall forward due to joints and stiffening of muscles after death. They are just different to real like and AA which sucks tbh. Dont get me wrong though, im not defending source, i dont like it either (DM is my food for thought)

 

[Qonfused]

Well, if you come from CS to AA, you're gonna hate it. If you come from AA to CS, you like both.

 

[krig]

I like both.
