[CODE] Dragging monster corpses and pickable items

Post by m8f »

This mod allows moving monster corpses and pickable items.

- "Stupid dead cacodemon! Blocking my view!"
- "This switch releases an archvile, if only I could move away all those revenants lying around..."
- "I see you, blue armor, standing in this narrow passage, but I will need you later."
- "Evil chaingunner dropped his gun on the ledge where I cannot reach it. I just need to pull it a bit..."


How to use:
1. Look at the corpse or pickable bonus,
2. Press the bound key (default: K),
3. Move somewhere,
4. Press the bound key again or look away.

features:
- if you look away from the corpse that you are moving, you just leave it there
- make "oof" sound when you start to drag something
- moving pickable items across the map is the perfect way to break intended level flow!

bugs/limitations:
- corpse decorations cannot be moved
- not usable without mouselook
- things cannot be moved up the steps
- single player only, I think
- things sometimes get stuck in steps

feature/bug:
- many things can moved at the same time. Nice hoover effect.

version: 0.2

changelog:
0.1 - initial version (dragging corpses).
0.2 - added dragging pickups and "oof" sound.

It can be useful for stealth mechanics, like Hitman, or Dishonored.

Yes, it would be great if there was some way to make monsters react to their comrades' dead bodies.

Also, added dragging pickable items. A dozen features more, and this can become a useful mod :D

reminds me of Resident evil or Quake where sometimes dead zombies are standing up again ^^ with no weapon to shoot them into pieces you would be better off kicking them down the cliff before they stand up again.

I've been having this mod in my autoload for 2 years and I love it.

If possible, can you make a version that sort of works like close-quarters version of half life 2's gravity gun where I can pickup/pull and hold stuff infront of me (essentially stuff hovers in midair a meter or two infront of the player) and then launch/throw it away at will. Would make picking up corpses in steppy locations less prone to abrupt drag disconnects which annoy me in the current version of this mod.

As a welcome bonus it'd be awesome to allow picking up explosive barrels - or even pick up live monsters, carry them and toss them forward a few meters.
