How to make corpses last forever

So, how to make corpses last forever?

Erhm. Wouldn't that make the game lagg after a long game?

i dnk, maybe i will change it if it does. Or at least how to make them disappear slowly?

Depends on corpse number, 100 will not lag but if you get 1000s it will.

Look up the death actors, that would be a start.

It seems that the disappearing of a unit after it dies is part of the model animation. And i have no idea how to slow or stop that animation jsut before it starts to disappear(other then editing the model, but its just not worth it).

Try altering the events. There are events for death, before the actor is destroyed try adding a delay of some kind (if possible) to see if it delays it.

i currently have this in my map. what i do is make a behavior thats applied when the unit dies, then i think after 4 seconds in the actor events i paused the animation, so its still when its on th ground and doesnt animate through the ground.

i actually made it spawn a new unit, and just took out the death model, so its a new fresh model that looks like the old one dying, so my corpses are actually alive, i did this so my units can pick up / move / blow them up.

My map is fps and after i added the doodads i think it will lag with corpses laying around too. So i will not make this.

Only if you add too many. Just make a buffer so the last 100 corpses or something remain. Additionally you could try to make it so corpses no longer visible will be removed so no one will notice the removal of corpses.
