kerbal stuck on the ground

[ouion]

when i eva sometimes i make him fall and then he is stuck can't get up.Why is this happening!?

[softweir]

There are two causes I know of. The first is when a Kerbal is sliding along too fast, and the game decides he shouldn't be able to get up. The other case is when a Kerbal's rag-doll animations have left him with limbs colliding with other body parts in such a way that the game can't recognise that the Kerbal has come to a stop.

You can sometimes fix this by switching to another craft and back, but that can also cause the Kerbal to vanish.

Try turning on the RCS pack, though that doesn't always work. Also, you can try having another Kerbal come over and give him a push (run into him).

For some unknown reason this amuses me rather. Just the idea of a Kerbal laying on the ground groaning after a brutal fall and a 'friend' running up and booting him while yelling "Get up!"

one time i try to use another kerbal to get that one out,but i stomp it over and over again and he died.
