Shock status?

[Xianyu 820]

Okay, so...lets get this straight.

Shock status comes from damage and being shot at, right? And glitches, yeah?

I found my first unlooted helicopter just earlier. A little northwest of Berezino. Literally ran into the sucker. Got myself a FAL with 4 spare mags. I'm happy with that.

Now, being the opportunistic little bastard I am, I decided to take cover in some bushes nearby and see if anyone would come along. So I gets on my stomach to crawl through the bushes, when I realise that I can't. Their bases are too close together.

Now, while I'm on the ground like that, there's no sound. No damage. No bleeding. I'm just suddenly in shock. Instantly. There was no warning, nothing. I didn't go unconscious.

I stood up, and zig-zagged my way a good three clicks to the treelines, waiting five minutes for pursuit...and nothing. No gunfire, no pursuit.

Can you get random shock status for just...crawling against a tree? As I said, there was not a single bit of damage associated. Not ONE point of blood lost.

This would probably get a better response in the bug report section.

I'm not sure if it was a bug or not. I MIGHT have been shot at...but I heard nothing. I was merely asking if it's a known thing to go into shock when you crawl at bushes.

Most likely a bug, there are a lot of nasty critters in the Arma II foliage which have a strong bite, there are numerous cases of fatalities occurring. ;)

On a more serious note: It was most likely a bug, just like how you can get hurt by crawling over small rocks or when a player runs into you whilst prone. The collision detection is very poor, if in doubt it seems to just hurt/kill you.

Crawling against a tree can kill you.

It's a bug in the ARMAII engine.
