Removing blood from a unit's Death animation?

I have this villager that I use in a cinematic. I want to knock him down using the Death animation, but he sputters out more blood than 2 korean martial art films.

Anyone know how to turn off the blood in this case?

You'll have to edit the .mdl file for that model. Blood effects are an effect that are done at a specific keyframe in the miodel's animation. You'll have to remvoe that keyframe. Ask around in the .mdl editing forum about the specifics.
