I've set pev->deadflags to another value I've added (since in think function it checks if pev->deadflag >= DEAD_DYING), and my own think function. What I am wondering is which flag determines that the animation sequence in pev->sequence will be for the whole body or just the upper body (and pev->gaitsequence for the lower)?
The reason is that my animation is for the whole body (kneeling), but the player is not dead so I don't want to set any other dead flags.
