How to keep Color and Hull Size on Death?

[Dobbi124]

Is there a script or hook that when my Antlions die, they retain their Color and Hull Size? Or even if they are shrunk by like 50%, and they are killed, can they retain that ragdoll?

You will probably have to use GM/CreateEntityRagdoll and manualy set the ragdoll model scale and color

It's something that I'd want to fix in GMod by default actually

Good luck changing the scale of the ragdoll... I gave up on that.

[Dobbi124]

Is that even possible to do? Like rigging the ragdoll to be in the exact position, velocity, etc?

TTT does it with regular human ragdolls atleast.

i fucking hate this editor

Did not realize SetModelScale does not work properly with ragdolls, my bad.

[Dobbi124]

Huh. That's impressive. So it would be a custom function then. How would I make that custom function?

function ENT:KeepNPCTraits(npc)
local npc = self.npc
if IsValid(self.corpse) then 
self.corpse = ents.Create("prop_ragdoll")
self.corpse:SetModel( npc:GetModel() )
self.corpse:SetPos( npc:GetPos() )
self.corpse:SetAngles( npc:GetAngles() )
self.corpse:SetSkin(npc:GetSkin())
self.corpse:SetNotSolid(false)
self.corpse:SetNoDraw(false)
self.corpse:SetColor( Color( 100, 0, 15, 255) )
self.corpse:Spawn()
npc:Remove()
end
end
I'm not great at coding... :P

Actually NPCs ragdolls are ClientsideRagdoll, as I know.

[Gmod4phun]

Only if ai_keepcorpses is disabled. Otherwise it creates a regular prop_ragdoll

[Dobbi124]

Oh wow, it's very nice to see this officially in the game. Good job Rubat!
