Infantry don't turn into skeletons when killed

People , something i need to know is can or is there any and i mean ANY possibilities of making infantry decay much slower? OK so what do i mean? Basically when a GI is shot and KIA he flips and dies right? Ok here is what i want to do instead of the GI turning into a skeleton immediately can he stay like that for a while? Just laying there dead without becoming a decaying skeleton would make battles look way more grand and epic!

So after let's say 2 minutes he turns into a skeleton and decay like usual i know generals has such thing but I'm not sure if RA2 has it....can it be done?

You'd need to extend the last frame of each infantry's death animation by 3,600 frames to make the anim last 2min (30 FPS x 120 seconds = 3,600 frames).

Or you could use Phobos to make the each infantry spawn a dummy "dead version" of itself when it dies, which then kills itself after 2min. This would probably conflict with the special death anims (flame, electrocute, radiation melt, etc) tho, with infantry being vaporized and then a body pops up out of nowhere etc.

Having a bunch of semi dead infantry everywhere would quickly fill up the map blocking unit movement, so I wouldn't recommend either tho.

So it's model editing? Well if a dead unit occupies space then that sucks usually in the games i have done this including generals once a unit is dead then it no longer occupy any space if it does then that shuts down the whole thing Sad

Thx for info

It's editing the .shp I think where you just copy and paste the last frame 3,600 times.
This won't block anything since it's an animation. The second part of what Mig Eater said was basically spawning a unit.
It could become a block, but most tanks squish infantry anyways so the "dead" infantry won't be a problem.

What a strange way to solve it lol , copying frames.....i need to have a SHP model editor right? Or can be viewed using txt reader?
