if no one can i'll try my self.

Well, if you want one like in that relatively disturbing game, then that would be fairly easy. Just set the hot spots and action points according to where the limbs attach to each other.

What seann33uk is asking for is to be able to calculate ragdoll physics, someone was supposedly making an extension for that, but don't know if they made any progress.

You're talking about the physics extension? He's still working on it.

[seann33uk]

that will probably be it, but ifs not been developed yet i might go for more complex hot spot-joint version

It will be released sometime in the next two weeks.

Wow! That's great!

I've got a fairly limited ragdoll engine working, I'll post the source for you...

Sorry I had to blitz the colours to be under the size limit. Also sorry the codes loosely commented. Making a good, extensive ragdoll engine is very difficult.

All the little persian guy in my ragoll demo is is 6 objects tied together by stick constraints (obviously programmed by me, not a feature of mmf hehe) to make a stick guy. However you will notice that the guys legs can twist round as much as you like without stopping. This is because i havent put any angular constraints into the engine.

Also it only supports collisions with the floor. But it still shows the basic maths for connecting two objects with a stick constraint, which is the heart of a ragdoll engine.

lol, good one stuckboy. Someone should actually make a mini game like that ;P

OMG that was so funny!
I could watch that for hours. I like the way if it goes fast enough, the head flies off! LOL! The slowmotion is kind of annoying.
