[Safe-Keeper puts on orange traffic-directing vest, picks up stop sign-on-a-stick]

I'd like to detour everyone to this thread. Could this be done?

Incorperate a keypress for Stop-Drop-and Roll !!

Would look good using FRAPS to vid 25 people all rolling around on fire !!

The first strike team could even use a framecapture to make your character look like Simon Weston after a good toasting !!

Just set an animation for it......and maybe make the charcter lose control until he gets burned alive or put out.....

that would be nice, but I dont think they are goint to do it becuase you dont even have blood in battlefield (I dont know if it is in this mod it would be very cool if I would). These things will give people nightmares (I know that sounds lame but there are some sensative people on the world)

EDIT, a flametrower would be cool to.. (dont know if I need to use 1 or 2 o's)

If you made it so they couldn't put them out if they were on fire. You could take the kit away making them a zombie, then have their health drop rapidly so they die. Not too fast though.

The other thing is Lucas Arts doesn't look favourably on people making starwars games/mods that gain a rating of M15+. Setting people on fire could very well push us over that boundry.

That's not really going to work. A player can't get up automatically after dying...

A player can be killed by fire. But I am 90% sure he cannot be lit on fire.

A rebel soldier can take more damage from being near flames but thats not good game balance.

You can give a medic a fire extinguisher, but thats kinda lame because:

A) Probably can't get ragdolls to light on fire
B) The guy would be dead within 5 seconds.

then just add fire damage......

say a stormtrooper is more resiliant to a nearby explosions fire wave or whatever.

but a rebel soldier aint.... being a cloth wearer..... and Wookies?..... lets not even go there

if you could somehow come up with a code that lets a stormtrooper take damage.. not get ignited... and get thrown some distance via ragdoll.. then stand up that would be cool...

even better if you can get the rebel soldier to take MORE damage get ignited.. and also get thrown some distance via Ragdoll.... only not get back up.

it could be possible because of that thingy what distingwishes (im dyslexic gimme a break) metal from cloth

only problem would be the being flinged about by the ragdoll... and then getting back up from it

AND setting the peramiters for it... you dont want to be like 8 meters from a grenade.. take a little bit of damage but yet fall to the ground because of the ragdoll.

you could also set it so that if a person gets ignited... ragdoll turns on... and they fall to the ground.

it would also be awesome if you could put a twitching animation in while the ragdoll is active.

give the medic a fire extingwisher..... or i suppose you could use a cryoban grenade to extingwish the flames.

waddya think of that TY2?
