Forced Exit on Exploding Vehicles Leads to a Sure Death
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you are taking fire or perhaps run over a mine and take damage, sometimes the engine Ejects you from the vehicle. (I guess depending on damage taken) This is about the same time you go to the action menu and try to exit the vehicle. By clicking on your default key (middle mouse button) The timing of this is so quick that what actually happens is you get ejecte automatically and then when you click your mouse button, you get locked into auto heal animation, which is the first thing to come up by default because you are injured in the small blast.... So because you can not move... a second or two later, you blow up as the vehicle explodes...

Steps To Reproduce

Place mines and drive over them slowly and try to react in normal way to situation, you will see that you find yourself healing just about everytime you get ejected from vehicle.

Additional Information

Think its best to just remove the auto-eject feature... or prevent healing..

I think Arma engine needs to possible test a "break action" command that can be used every 3 minutes or so... Say "Alt-X" would break any animation or thing its doing. This would remove all the clumsiness the player feels. The timer would be added to the command to avoid abuse.

In this case, i could go.. eject and hit the heal button by accident, Realize "oh crap im healing", But hit the break command and run to safety and not be entirely pissed off that I died from game mechanics going run, which are unrealistic, people can change minds quickly.

(being ejected and not being able to enter are caused by the same issue)
