Graveyards... Cemetery...

Wouldn't this be interesting to have AT LEAST an animation death? I mean... the poof and teleport home is kinda... boring.

And with that... how about a sim graveyard? Or something like a cemetary? Perhaps a gravestone where your avatar decayed. Or EVEN a llDetectDeath(integer decayed) funtion call in LSL where we could make these ourselves (and get creative).

I'm not super pro-death... but seriouslly, dying in this game is rather uniteresting, almost to the point where it there should be no reason to have it. It works too similar to Teleporting the agent home.. and somewhat close to ejecting from land. We just get a simple "you have died and have been teleported home location" message. yay.

More exploration in this area, please!

An animation where your Av appears in a grave, and claws its way ou would be cool.

How about a Tombstone that kept track of the number of time you die.


IE: Here lied Tommy Joe
He Died 212 times
Be back soon!

Right, Ryen.. I'm aware of that.

But it should sequence when you die. I looked through the gestures... and I don't see "When you die" ... "Play this sound" ... "Do this Animation" ... etc. It just happens so quickly. Surely they could allow enough time for some type of animation to play and then teleport you.

Water, you'd get tired of seeing the same "death animation" over and over after one of our fragfests. *runs for cover*:p

ONLY if there is a death animation, dammit!

I want to see you choking... gasping for air after I pummel you with shot after shot. Slowly falling to your knees... with a final plead for life escaping your trembling, bleeding lips, as I watch your eyes sink into the back of your cracked skull, and one more left-leg twitch for good measure

Okay.. that sound sadistic enough to get it!

disclaimer: This death sequence was not related in any way or vision to that of which I see with Carrera LeFay (although she'll never know). Furthermore, no Avatars were harmed durring the making of this sequence as they were teleported safely back to their death.. err, HOME location.

"I want to see you choking... "
-Choke on this.

"gasping for air after I pummel you with shot after shot."
-The only multiple shots you ever get in are when you cheat and shoot while I'm spawning.


"Slowly falling to your knees..."
-From laughing so hard over poppin cap after cap in ya.

"with a final plead for life escaping your trembling, bleeding lips, as I watch your eyes sink into the back of your cracked skull, and one more left-leg twitch for good measure"
-Now that's just disturbing and wrong on sooo many different levels.

"Okay.. that sound sadistic enough to get it!"
-You scare me. Seriously, dude, you really scare me.

Your starting to scare me now, Water. ;)

No, I think there should be something... I think the LSL event would be the neatest. (Although I think LSL commands for everything is the neatest....)
