Hello. Can we have a feature that would show different bigob depending on soldier's gender?

Examples of bigobs are below.

There is already a feature that can do that: Y-scripts.

PS:
We won't be adding new "traditional" ruleset attributes for features, which are scriptable, for 2 reasons:
1. doing something twice is a waste of time (both initial effort and maintenance effort)
2. and more importantly: we couldn't guarantee backwards-compatibility for the already-existing scripts
Or in other words, all oxce functionality that supports scripts will only be extended by extending script APIs... no new "traditional" ruleset will be added.

If this feature can draw different corpses depending on a gender, then is it possible to draw stunned dude differently from a dude teared apart by heavy plasma? If yes, then I have no Idea why modders haven't done that yet!

It could even be changed based on damage type of last hit. Nearly any thing that was available other scripts can be used in determining what sprite should be used for given item.

Because modders generally can't write scripts.

After some research I have noticed "extended --> scripts --> selectItemSprite --> YSCRIPT_CORPSE_SWITCHER" inside "XPiratez --> Ruleset --> Yankes_Scripts.rul".
I have not tested if this code really works, but it looks like it does exactly what we are discussing...
