Toxic corpse mod idea^^

[xzanderain]

I was thinking it should be dangerous for the player to loot stagnant corpses. So In that vein of thinking. I suggest when the player loots a brahmin,ghoul, or some other radioactive corpse. They should release a radiation cloud on the player. Any ways I hope some one makes this happen. I rather enjoy a toxic environment. The more radioactive the better.

I think that would be an easy one to do, just using the ondeath block for a critter, or a disabled effect on already existent corpses. Can you find a visual effect that has the radiation cloud lyou'd like to see (a pic might be enough to id it)?

I have no idea where to look for such a cloud. But you may be able to find something similar to the idea in ghoul rad tweaks in fo3's mod data base. As the ghouls let out a circle like burst of radiation off their glowing ones. So you could in theory look at the glowing ones for possible files. Unless that mod created it completely custom. Then you may have to find some way of obtaining permission or build your own from the ground up using their idea as a blue print.

Yeah I can do the radburst (I would think) if that's the one you'd prefer

I believe it should be dependent on the corpse. For example, a busted robot should have an electrical burst, or plasma explosion. While a Brahman from a caravan that was attacked should have an explosive burst. As its mentioned that they are rigged to blow up on people who would rob them. However, undead corpses, glowing ones and the like should be radioactive.
