RAGDOLL!!!

[ironman860]

wouldnt it be friggin' awsome if there was a blocko ragdoll that you can just launch or push off a building

[Ad Bot]

Use Search, This has been discussed a Billion times. It's Not Probable that this would happen. It's possible, but Torque Barely supports physics anyway. It's not going to happen. Ever.

[ironman860]

how come you believe that

[pie man]

because its true

[ironman860]

if its possible then it might happen in the future

[tommybricksetti]

It's not possible in Torque because Torque objects move only by animation. (Blockland runs on the Torque engine)

[JDofPivot]

That is true, but if it was completed, it would be super laggy, because it would require a ton of models.

[SuperSnake117]

Actually, infinity models would be required since it would need a model for every very small space it moved and the map loops so = fail.

[BlockBrain]

Hmm... What if it was a simple bot, that when hit by a hammer, goes into like a "Bouncing off skiis" mode? That way you can knock em off teh buildinz.

False. Torque supports bounding box Collisions, but nothing Advanced. Making a Ragdoll would require programming an entire Physics Library and Engine. It's possible, but it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Wait I had an idea...
What if it had joints and when a joint hit a certain surface at a certain speed, the joint would react differently?
Could that be scripted??

No it wouldn't. Ever fallen off skis? Does this require 'infinity' models? No just 3. The player, the skis, and the empty.

Not logically. It would require an action for every force applied. That's an Infinite list of possible Forces and Reactions.

this seems to be the best way to do it.

I'm pretty sure that has not been done for a reason.
