shaunsap 5 Posted May 11, 2014 I am aware that rag-doll physics are currently being implemented, but I would like to see some bad-ass kill animations to match! Battlefield had the knife animations, and Skyrim... Skyrim has a ton! And they're becoming increasingly common among games nowadays. DayZ is a zombie apocalypse game... It should reek blood and gore! The current weapon swinging etc makes killing zombies a little boring after a few goes, however I think adding a unique kill animation for each weapon that will trigger say 10-25% of the time you make a kill would really step up the action and gore in the game!A few ideas: - burying a machete or axe into a zombie's cranium!- thrusting a screwdriver into a zombie's eye and into it's brain!- puncturing a hole into a zombie's head with a pickaxe!- smashing the face of a zombie in with a shovel!- clubbing in the side of a zombies head with a pipe wrench!- and finally if the ability to turn around your gun and use the stock as a club, it would be nice to see your character repeatedly smashing in the head of a zombie with a gun stock! Of course all of this wouldn't be complete without perhaps blood that squirts and splashes out and maybe have blood dripping down your screen!Did you know I like gore? Haha I'm getting carried away here... :blush: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daemonkid 493 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Not possible on the engine unless you want to be locked into an animation where you can't break out of it if say; someone started shooting at you. Edited May 11, 2014 by Daemonkid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Burd 107 Posted May 12, 2014 This isn't CoD Zombies: Chernarus, nor is it the Battlefield 4 Chernarus DLC. Go play Battlefield 4 and CoD Ghosts if you want kill animations, or you can wait until that Crysis/Elysium/Titanfall/Halo rip off Advanced Warfare is finished. On a related note: This is impossible with the current engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggb45s 14 Posted May 12, 2014 I would like to see tracers every 3rd round or so maybe only on assault style weapons. Animations would be ok if only the weapon stuck in the zombie or player once it died. Then you would have to reloot the item off the body. But I'm happy with either style.

qww 287 Posted May 12, 2014 what i dislike about animations (thinking of battlefield 3/4) are that they take control of your character for a moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattceran@live.com 6 Posted May 12, 2014 I've wanted these things too from time to time in Dayz but it won't fit the game ethos; Realism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted May 12, 2014 I think shaunSAP is new. Welcome ! :D With time you will see the many limitations of the arma engine in the way of hand to hand combat... sad we know. Notice the collision detection is already feeling very seedy when in hand to hand combat. With time hopefully we can see some decent improvements for the melee system.. but for now maybe hang ten and play skyrim or something ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha I'm getting carried away here... :blush:I don't think kill animations would be good, at all. although more gore would be quite amazing, maybe something along the lines of CoD WaW gore, you know limbs and shit flying everywhere but I don't think that'd really apply well seeing as there is no high powered guns yet and hopefully no time soon. unless of course they were super duper rare and could only be found in the NWA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperionguy 3 Posted May 25, 2014 Bullet trails? seriously.... Tracer ammo should definately be added, right now the amphibia round leave tracers but like, what even are bullet trails..Look up some videos on it. You can see the bullet slicing through the air in some cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saint tyrone leroy smith 1 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) They're should be an execution animation button for killing players. For zombies they're should be an animation when you hit their head with an axe or a knife or something. I would imagine an execution for a zombie looking like this: And for players it might look like this: Edited March 7, 2015 by saint tyrone leroy smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
