Leave the dead where they Fall!!

I hate how the units disappear really fast when they die. I want to make it like Diablo where things stay put after you kill them. Is there any way/trigger combo/MDX edit to do this? Ive been trying forever and I cant really make it work. It seems the unit is removed and replaced with something else so you cant really edit it once it dies . Anyone know how to pull this off?

set the unit's animation speed to 0 a few seconds after it dies. this should halt the decay animation in theory.

There is a Unit - Suspend corps decay i belive. might wanna fool with that

Fooled with it ... lots. It seems the instant a unit dies it is removed from the game. The Death->Decay Flesh->Decay Bone animations that follow seem attached to somthing else. The only way I can make a corps stay it to creat corse and then refer to the last created unit then slow down the Decay Flesh animation. So i guess what im wanting to do is refer to the corps of the unit that just died/removed from game. Any thoughts on how I might do this? emote_confused

im pretty sure if you use the command in response to "Player Owned Unit Event (dies)

and you suspend corps there, it will work. but i cant say 100%. Ill fool with it later to see if i can get it to work, another thing you can probly do, create a new unit at the position of the last unit and play its decay animation and set the animation speed to 0. that shoul work also.

"Decay" refers to the bones slowly disappearing, not the corpse itself sinking into the ground. So if you suspend Decay, the corpse still sinks, but the bones will remain there.

You can't stop the Decay - Flesh animation from happening unless you time the Death animation of a particular unit, then make a Trigger that detects the Unit's death, waits the specified time, then freezes the Unit's animation.

All in all, an EXTREMELY ugly solution.

Believe me, I've tried SO HARD to make corpses lie on the ground.
