Summary
TFTW Combat Duck adds subtle, instinctive posture reactions to nearby gunfire and explosions. Players and AI slightly lower their stance while maintaining normal movement and combat behavior.
Description
DESCRIPTION
Developed for Task Force Timberwolf, Combat Duck uses Arma Reforger's existing dynamic stance system to make soldiers react more naturally to incoming fire and explosions.
Rather than forcing soldiers to dive for cover or go prone, the mod introduces small posture adjustments that simulate a soldier instinctively lowering their silhouette under fire.
HOW TO USE
Combat Duck works automatically with no additional key bindings.
Players retain full control of their stance after reacting. AI soldiers can maintain their adjusted posture for up to six minutes before returning to normal, provided no other stance changes have occurred.
Both players and AI have a ten minute reaction cooldown.
FEATURES
• Subtle standing and crouching posture adjustments. Prone soldiers are unaffected.
• Incoming fire reactions within 50 meters of a bullet's projected path.
• Friendly fire can trigger reactions from shooters at least 50 meters away.
• Explosion reactions within 100 meters, or 150 meters for large explosions.
• Compatible with movement and normal combat behavior.
• AI automatically restores posture when appropriate.
• Players maintain manual control of their stance.
• No forced prone, dives, weapon raising, or custom animations.
• Event driven detection designed to minimize performance impact.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Combat Duck is actively being developed and tested. Multiplayer, dedicated server functionality, and compatibility with other mods require further verification.
Mortar reactions have been tested successfully. Grenade detection and compatibility with community explosives are still being improved.
Source level testing has identified no direct conflicts with TFTW Quick Kill, although combined multiplayer testing is still needed.
Some features described here may not yet be available in the published Workshop version.
