: In many engines, such as Valve's Source engine, damage in excess of what is required for a kill is converted into physical force. This can lead to "low orbit" launches for lightweight classes hit by high-damage projectiles.
This paper explores the mechanics and limitations of ragdoll physics in video games, specifically investigating the factors that determine how far a character model can be propelled. 1. Abstract How far can you ragdoll.txt
The distance a ragdoll travels is not infinite and is governed by several critical factors within the game's physics engine. A. Input Forces and Momentum According to Newton's Second Law ( : In many engines, such as Valve's Source
