Wound Effects in OPF.

 

The script below is taken from the Armed Assault Guide on Shack  Tactical.

Ive changed it to OPF, as the mod for ArmA does not exist yet, and the review is based on WGL5.1

 

 

 

In un-modded OPF, being wounded has two side-effects, depending on the severity and location of the wound. You will almost always find your aim to be very jittery and unstable, with the amount varying somewhat based upon how badly you've been hit. In addition to that, if you're hit in the legs, you will find yourself unable to move while standing, instead being forced to crawl or briefly job before being forced back to the ground. This is relatively easy to deal with, since there's no risk of progressively declining health. In this situation, simply call for a medic when possible and get yourself patched up. Medical attention will cause both of the wound effects to go away.

 

 

WGL5.1 Wound Effects

 

The fun begins when you play a mod like WGL5.1, which sports a much-improved player damage system. In WGL5.1, you will notice several additional effects:

 

 

As you can see, being wounded in WGL5.1 can be a much more serious and urgent affair. Since we will be primarily playing WGL5.1, the 'reaction to being wounded' text will be based upon it.

 

 

I'm hit! What do I do?

 

It is important that players are familiar with what is required of them if they get wounded. Being shot and confused as to what happens next can easily lead to you being shot again, bleeding to death, or generally meeting some kind of unpleasant fate. These guidelines generally apply to WGL5.1 (like the bleeding, blacking out, etc), but can be used in 'vanilla' OPF where appropriate.

 

 

If you are shot...

Example voice call: "This is Fish, I'm hit bad, pulling back for a medic... marking as "dsl medic" on map... (brief pause)... marked."

 

Man Down

 

For now, the only thing to remember is that if a person is killed, it needs to be reported to their element leader. Thus, if your buddy goes down and is KIA, let your fireteam leader know that they're dead.
