You can't make the bodies stay. I once made a hack around that by spawning animated models on players' deaths, but it required quite a lot of state machine tweaking, and there were some FX issues (e.g. the sound of the body hitting the ground was played twice, twice as much smoke sprites etc.).

Not worth the effort IMHO.

//
// ----- change log -------
// V2 Released 23 Jul 2003
// ... Added in code so spectators can be ghosts ;)
// ... altered body code, so head isn't buried in ground
// V1 Released 22 Jul 2003
// ------------------------
//
// ----- How 2 use --------
// put this after 'level waittill spawn' in the main map script
// it spawns permanent dead bodies, and blood trails if player takes enough damage
// pass parameters <bodies> <blood> <health> <ghost_specators>
// where bodies = 0 or 1, blood = 0 or 1, health = health points below which blood is left as a trail, <ghost> = 0 or 1

Oil like blood?
I'll try this, thanks

Try it and you'll see it looks like crap. The bodies are left in the idle animation and it looks awkward overall.

I would've given my script to you, but I've lost it. And I don't really feel like writing it again.
