JBOY SpearGun demo

Description
Demonstration mission for script that converts SDAR into a spear gun.

If you have ever shot a fish in Vanilla ARMA, you know the fish just freezes in place and looks dumb (and is an immersion breaker). This script makes shooting fish fun!
Please rate and comment. Enjoy!

Features:
- Converts SDAR into a spear gun when shooting fish.
- Fish are impaled by spear object
- Fish bleed
- Fish wriggle for a few seconds while dying
- Fish sink
- Fish can be taken/collected by player (for potential use by survival scripts to eat or trade)

Limitations:
- Does not work on turtles. I don't know why.
- Not implemented when shooting human units. This is because when units die and rag doll, the attachTo positions for the spear are no longer accurate. For example, a spear that should be attached to head or arm of unit, will appear visually 1 or 2 meters away from ragdoll unit. So I decided not to support impaling AI units with spears.

You can download the source mission to get the scripts from this editor topic: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/221278-jboy_speargun/

Credits:
- BadBenson for harpoon object. Thanks buddy!
- HallyG for underwater blood effects. Thanks man!

Thanks alot REDBowl, I really appreciate the kind words. Praire Fire DLC also rekindled my love and enthusiasm for ARMA. And I've published quite a few PF specifc scripts you can find here: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/226505-jboy-scripts-compilation/
And there is more in the pipeline!

sorry in advance for this long scribe.you make sp/rp dream mods/scripts, man. you really do. the work seems sharper than the usual experimental mods and scripts ive seen in the arma workshop. the bbq script was so damn wicked as well.

- and hell yeah! please please please if you ever have the time...do that for the spear gun!! the reason im falling in love with arma 3 all over again is the fun im having with that prairie fire dlc.

good luck and thanks again for sharing all of this with the community over the years, jb.
i wish the best for you and yours. cheers

Thanks bisson. Sorry no plans for improvement. I do have a bbq script that includes cooking fish on a fire you can see here: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/226942-jboy-bbq/?tab=comments#comment-3389880

Good job ! are you always improving it ?
In this case, could we expect a "civilian" fishing device like sandows crossbow with an arrow linked ?
Also, an implementation of Feint's suggested fire cooking for a beach party :steamhappy:
