[Request] Non-exploding Heretic imp death

Post by Sodaholic »

Normally, when the imps corpse lands, it explodes. I would like to have a frame of it lying on the ground but not exploded. Maybe a few frames of bleeding when it's already on the ground like the dead doom enemies would be helpful. Also, gibbing frames slightly recolored would be nice: purple blood turned red (it's only in one frame, I'm not sure why it is either), white ribs instead of yellowish ribs.

Thanks in advance. :)

The purple parts are intestines. The ribs are yellowish due to being covered in a thin coating of blood, as yellow is the more persistent pigment out of a red. (See a faded stop sign, for instance.)

As for exploding, it can look like overkill, yeah, when falling all of a few inches. This is a limitation of using a Crash state. Interestingly, in Vanilla at least, killing one that's touching the floor will leave it stuck in its "falling" frame. Anyhow, I've considered making a plain "flop" death for Gargs, so I'd be interested if someone cares to do this. Would save me some work. :P
