Check for pulse, way to tell wounded from corpse

[Nick_Gunar]

Thus, I think everyone would appreciate a way to determine if a body belongs to someone who can be revived. Seems totally reasonable to me.

Playing a medic, a white cross icon will pop up over dead bodies as you are close to them lol.

yeah,like it.
medicsystem is allready full with hassle,woundeds slide in hills,get stuck inside trees,stones,etc.
add some sound,mark or something to the wounded.
and i like to see in training serves that you can practice be a medic.
maybe add some bots there?

Here is a suggestion somebody made with insufficient post count to post.

I wanted to reply to your post in the suggestion thread but I don't have the necessary post count.

Any way, here is what I wrote:

Why not just use what's already there in the medic's arsenal? To check if some is still alive do some cpr. If still alive make coughing sounds. If not, then you get silence.

*I think its from Boark or something*

Breaking someone's ribs via CPR isn't a good way to check if they are alive.

if i recall, doing CPR properly can cause a fair amount of damage to ribs. but im no paramedic.

IMO We don't need it.

We have mumble or if not, I ask any wounded to call for medic on Commo Rose with my minimap zoomed in.

The problems come when it is a non squad blue, who anyway should have a fellow SM(s) near him anyway.

I admit to being a mumble fan, so if more guys got mumble sorted they would have more revives from non squad medics!

We all have our own priorities and techniques for medicing!

It's an excellent way of telling if they're alive...

If there's an absence of normal breathing, you commence CPR - if they then start breathing well enough to smack you in the face and yell when you start cracking ribs, you can stop CPR safe in the knowledge that they're okay

dude i was thinking bout this. how about having the soldier cough? or if you crwal very close to the wonded soldier you could hear thier heart beats.

Yeah but to go up to a body on the floor and start doing CPR is silly

Anyway - best way to tell if someone is alive is to kick 'em in the naggers. Tough Love baby.
