Make horses take damage when colliding with a solid object

[Son Of Odin]

I remember very clearly dying from a fall when I was riding. The horse had low HP and me too, we both died. It was from up the walls on ruined fort.

It is known.

I tried it when we built this to the duelserver, and yes even the rider dies if the fall is high enough:

pappy I'm also aware of how fragile a horses lower legs are.  they break just running sometimes on flat ground.  I don't think 250 lbs "bracing" for a horse charging at you would put up much resistance for the horse however.  Yes, they could break a leg, but they would demolish you in the process.

Changing the argument? The realism argument is that the horse would take damage charging into infantry with all sorts of sharp and pokey things, not that humans would take no damage. Currently it can take half the health off of a player and run along foot loose and fancy free. Twas a human shaped fog bank it was!

[Oberyn]

Add realistic trampling, then health off horses from charging would make sense. Then horses can be the kamikaze death missiles they are meant to be. You want a horse's leg getting broken to put the horse out of the fight? Apply the same to players. Oh did you just get charged by a sumpter horse at full speed that proceeded to then walk all over your prone body? You're dead.

[Tears of Destiny]

Realistic bump damage would be hilarious, considering analysis of the skeletons in the americas showed what massive trauma a mere unarmoured conquistador horse can do to an unarmoured man (One shot kill).

Now imagine slightly larger and significantly more armoured horses slamming into people

It still doesn't change the fact that they would take damage running into 250lb plate armored human. Horses break their legs and are put down from simply running a race on flat ground. Don't think for a second that they wouldn't take damage while running through a thousand pounds of men and armor and long sharp pointy sticks and long metal blades whether those objects are being swung at the horse or not.

The horse in the video only went through the windshield and a tiny part of the hood. It doesn't take that much force at all. Notice how the horse doesn't actually collide with the car but steps on it. If the horse was not stepping on the car it would be a much different situation.

The car will still run, a man can't fix his spine...
nice job changing your argument...
