[?<r1551 - r3111]Morphed player cannot crouch

[Edward-san]

Looking at this thread:

When morphing a player using PowerMorph, he/she won't be able to crouch until he/she gets unmorphed.
In other words, a morphed class cannot crouch.

AFAICT, morphed players cannot crouch in 98c, GZDoom 323-ZDoom 2.5.0

Testing indicates that morphed players cannot crouch, both online and offline. But I only had the 'MorphMe' command from the console and Cutman's GvH test actor as a base for my testing.

I made a test WAD, in which you can compare the DoomPlayer, 'MorphMe' and Cutman's GvH class. 'Puke 1' morphs you into the GvH one.

Actually it happens also in latest ZDoom svn. The link to the WAD file is here.

(Warning: I've used the 'search' button so don't blame me if it was already reported here)

For the record, I've never seen a chicken crouch. Even when laying eggs, they usually sit down.

Animals are crouched by default. It's going upright that's an effort to them. Therefore, crouching should be reversed when you're morphed into an animal.

You need to observe more animals.

Especially bipeds like chickens and other birds.

I obviously wanted to refer to those mammals who rise on two legs just to look around.

Not to kill the thread: what about mods where you're morphed from a humanoid to another humanoid? Aren't you supposed to be able to crouch when you're like that, and not some simple animal?

Actually sounds like a feature suggestion in the making, ALLOWCROUCH on the morphed class or something.

My dog certainly doesn't crouch 100% of the time, it stands, on 4 legs

As long as there is a feature to disallow crouching classes if the player morphs into a vehicle or whatever.
