This VScript will make your gameplay more excruciating than it probably already is and temporarily immobilize the survivors if they take fall damage. No longer will the survivors pull themselves up by their bootstraps and suck up the pain, they will now stumble like a newborn calf or even collapse to the floor, depending on how hard they fall.

  • You will stagger if damage is less than 15. If under the effects of adrenaline, you will not stagger at all.
  • "Charger get-up" animation plays if it's over 15. If under the effects of adrenaline, the "Tank punch get-up" animation will play instead, which is faster.
  • [list]
  • I might change these values later.

[*]An animation will also play if you fall and get incapped. [*]The animation will not play if you're getting punched by a Tank or getting bumped by a Charger carrying someone while taking fall damage. [*]Does not alter damage values. [/list]

Also went ahead and spruced it up by adding appropriate particle effects, sounds and slight screen shake.

NOTE:

  • The animations will play for the bots normally and have their movement restricted as intended but they'll still be able to interact with stuff immediately after collapsing as if nothing happened.
  • This is a whole new script and is not meant to be used with Staggering Fall Damage. Use one or the other.
  • The hitbox does not update accordingly when the animations play.

Here's the stagger only version if you want

Special thanks to Shadowysn for the force animation method discovery.

This will only work in singleplayer or a locally hosted server.
