I was wondering if anyone knew a good limb engine or how to make one. What I mean by this is something featured in N:
http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html

or soldat
www.soldat.prv.pl

The dying animations are just so cool, because all of thier limbs move freely. I've tried doing this with a few differant objects for differant limbs but it doesn't work too well. Any help would be appreciated.

i toyed with the idea of this a while ago... i had some vague concepts in my head, of having an active object for each part of the limb (foot, thigh, shin, etc) and making an array holding variables storing which way they move in relation to each other for, say, when the character is walking. i never got round to making it though. i don't think it would be very practical in MMF, because every time the limb moved it might not match up perfectly with the other parts and you'd get gaps appearing inbetween the parts.

You can draw stickmen with points and the drawline object, or in Jamagic. Move the points and redraw...

LOL! I played those dismount games for an hour! That's exactly what I'm looking for, and I'm going to give it a go with the overlay object. Thanx everyone.
