as far as we know it's fun when merc assault squad kills sombody with discintergrator they turn into skeleton
but then i wonder: a heat & flame weapon (bossk's grenade, orbital bombardment) should turn infantries into skeletons as well. how come they didnt do that?
plus tyber zahn says the incenerator only disentergrates flesh on organic targets, so the skeletons left behind should be white, not black. it's a disentergrator it shouldn't BURN the bones?!

1.) I reckon they should - albeit flame could make charcoal coloured skellys - chris could retexture them in a heartbeat
2.) Very difficult to do  - would look the same and we would have to decide on what bits of armour don't decay so each unit would need their own as we can't steal the ones from disc integrators.

I could do a nice charred infantry-man texture; but not skeletons from a flamethrower; they're not that powerful.

For the second point, A) no, in the time a battle takes they wouldn't decompose realistically and B) it'd take a hell of a lot of advanced animation for little purpose.

and to make it look realistic enough, they would all have to have individual decay patterns, alot of work, and even if they didnt, the coding would be really hard from what i understand.

[Dr. Doozer]

Yeah, although it'd be a nice realistic effect, it's not worth the extreme amounts of code rewrite and restructure needed for it. Charred people from flamethrowers and flame weapons would be nice, but to decay is too unnecessary and complex for the Alamo Engine.

alright. ditching the decaying thing. new issue up please read my top post again.

resume discussion.

[Doktor von Wer]

This is really one of the most pointless suggestions to date.

This is more of a land option request is it not?

[Argonnath]

Who cares. This topic is pointless. If you hit by flamethrower you wont turn into skeleton. So why are you even posting to this. Let this die already... -.-

[Prototype]

Every request has a meaning, whether it's of little value or a lot.  Regardless, I want this is the correct area.  Upon reading this more, it is indeed a land request so it will be moved.
