JTD Flies

JTD Flies v0.2

Adds flies to dead bodies. After between 2-5 minutes, flies will begin to gather around a body, increasing in density each 15 minutes or so, up to a maximum fly density. You can tell *very roughly* how long a body has been dead, and coupled with a suitable blood addon that simulates blood splatter (there are a few, ACE2, GL4 and SLX for example), you can perhaps work out what, where and even when something happened, in a very general and rough way

Also, it might allow you to find a body among severe clutter when you're looking for one, for example when you're out of ammo or something

*V0.2 update improvements*:
Sound added.
Flies now spawn around a random area centered on the center of body mass instead of the feet.
Tweaked fly size.
Tweaked fly movement.

*edit*
Forgot to mention - there will be no flies if it rains OR if fog value exceeds 0.75.

*edit 2*
Dayum, forgot to mention CBA dependency

Place the addon in whatever @Modfolder/Addons folder you see fit (hopefully you already have a @JTD folder

).

This addon will disable if/when JTD_WeatherAndClimate is installed, as this functionality will (hopefully) be included, but in a way appropriate for each climate.

I will perhaps add sounds to a future revision of this. As far as performance goes, I haven't seen any hit. All bodies only emit flies when player < 100m, and the script exits if the body is deleted.

The addon is SP/client-side eye-candy only, although no MP issues are expected. I expect JIP to be nonexistent however, only units that are killed while you are in the game will be processed.

Exactly the same i'm working on currently but i use the default ArmA 2 flyes which may look not as good as yours.

Pretty good work so far i like the way how steady the flyes are flying over the dead body.

Downloading.

Forgot to mention - there will be no flies if it rains OR if fog value exceeds 0.75.

in the forthcoming JTD Weather And Climate there will be similar logic, but it will also be subject to location of map and time of year etc.

ok now thats just not right. Next we will see the JTD smell the dead body addon that shoots the wiff of stale pig entrails at you while playing. :-)
