Add a new Crushed state

Post by **Nash** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 1:54 pm

This is related to my rejected "Gibs = RealGibs" thread.

Since it's impossible for the two things to be one, I suggest a separate Crushed state so that I can do whatever I want when the dead monster is crushed by a ceiling/door.

Thanks.

Why not?

What do you mean, "why not"?

Anyway the other thread I posted has been marked red, and Randy himself said that it's not possible for Gibs and RealGibs to be one thing.

So I think the best solution is to make a Crushed state. Then you can have things like robotic monsters smashing into a pile of mechanical parts, or organic monsters play a satisfying squish sound.

And even make larger monsters have different crushed sprites. You KNOW it just looks downright silly for a Spider Mastermind corpse to be reduced to a tiny pile of gibs when it's crushed (Doom 2 MAP06).

I agree with you and considering the work involved I see no problems adding it. The current crushing mechanism is a little too limited.

Is it possible to add this into the unofficial build, or is it beyond your scope? Just asking.

Heh, if only that was always the case with some of these requests.

Like the face in status bar bug. Then we wouldn't have to show them all the bug reports before that.
