I can pick up corpses?

LordSpoon · May 28, 2001

This came as a surprise to me, I didnt see any mention of it in the manual or the updates.

Select a pistol, point at a body (you can tell you are pointing at it if its lighting does that annoying flashing thing) and press the use key. You will drop it if you fire your weapon or press the use key again, and you cant run.

How long has this been around for?

for a looooooooooong loooooooooooooooooooooooong time

hmm, I guess not many people knew about this...
Some people like to stack up dead bodies(not me)

And it can be used as a cover

poaw · May 28, 2001

You can't possibly tell me none of you has made a body barricade.

[amel_#umper · May 28, 2001

thats quite a good idea... a body barricade....think i'll try that 1 day

works great in OFP. I frequently use bodies of fallen comrades and enemies for cover

itskeiagain · May 28, 2001

Is OFP out already?

The_Fur · May 28, 2001

demo DUH!

itskeiagain · May 28, 2001

When will it be out on your side of the world then?

vincenzo_og · May 28, 2001

why is it ike a cheat almost then?.... shouldn't u just be able to press grab and pull them around?... i mean, not just for baricades but u can tell if an enemy is around by the dead bodies and such...so it'd be cool if u the enemy (well u being the enemy that is) could easilt move the bodies

itskeiagain · May 28, 2001

Who said it's a cheat??
It's not a cheat.

NoXiD · May 28, 2001

I tryed to pick up a dead body today, cant, using the use key...

do i need to be crouched or something ??

i just cant seem to pick up anydeadbody

The ability to grab things is here since Unreal 1. Back then I sometimes use this to move aound crates and other small things to create some stairs...
I could find this and how this worked by looking at the code, it was something like you can only grab things when using a 1 handed weapon (Dispersion pistol, automag and ripper for Unreal). And the handedness of the weapon was decided by it's weight.
Probably that you can only grab corpses when using grenades or a pistol.
This is some old legacy code. I don't know if the Inf team changed this...

The_Fur · May 29, 2001

Lol, all somebody has to do is make a crate that looks like a riot shield and were ready for some police action

poaw · May 29, 2001

You know, that's actually a good idea Fur.

itskeiagain · May 29, 2001

Yeah, I might try to make something like that in my map

Lolo Konijn · May 29, 2001

This could also be used to implant cars...

Just like the good old Flintstone car

just wear your car

The_Fur · May 29, 2001

just try to pick up one of those drums on EP, you carry them right in front of you all they need to be is transparant and they would act as shields.

I can pick up corpses?
