Post-mortem Jetting

wat would happen if just there legs got shot off, or they got cut in half, would parts of u go flyong, cuz thatd be cool since most people DO go to pieces(pun intended) wen they die

Wow, I hadn't even thought about that.  Hmm... that could go either way.  Either jets could stop when the body comes apart, or the jets could keep working even if the leg Gostek was flying around all by itself.

It would probably be better if the jets stopped when the body came apart (except for the head Gostek) so that individual body parts wouldn't be rocketing crazily around.

I would have imagined that, given the power (or lack thereof) of the jets, and the nature of the way they work, combined with gravity, if a ragdoll corpse was constantly jetting, it would merely writhe around on the floor a lot. Maybe it would spring up a bit every second or two, but I very much doubt you'd be seeing bodies flying around everywhere. I could be wrong, but that's what I would have thought. Implementing this would probably be a lot harder than merely keeping the jets switched on.

i just dont see the necessity or even the funniness of this after the first few min., then i would get kinda stupid and people would hate it

[Hootie hoo]

The corpse wouldn't fly around. Because of the way the jets work, the body would just float up.

*beep*

The corpse WOULD fly around. The only reason it normally flies up is because the animation has the soldat's legs facing downwards. A corpse with active jets would flail insanely because it's moving totally according to ragdoll alone, not any set animation.

Um, no, the jets wouldn't influence the direction of the bodie's legs, I guess that's what I meant. It'd most likely fly in one direction: Left or right.
