Title: Make a unit sit on a chair
Post by: Loup-Garou on 17 Feb 2004, 15:33:30

Is there a simple method to do that ? In the unit's (or object) init field ? Something as easy as giving a unit / object a specific height (this setPos [getPos this select0,getPos this select 1,1.5]) ??????  :thumbsup:

Extra note : I'd like to know what to do if the chair is already (by default) in a house  ;D

Don't think there is a chair already in a house that you can get a muppet to sit in. However there is, if I recall correctly a chair in the editor that you can just tell a guy to get in with a waypoint or have him sit in using the;

This moveindriver chair

command.
I don't know which chair it is tho. Plus you need to have downloaded the editor addon form the addon depot first.
The great Fin mod has one too.

unit switchMove "onChair"... (or playMove, can't remember :P)

There's only one chair that the AI is willing to sit on politely... Maybe it was chair x... The others usually need the setPos tinkering and even that won't usually help...

Is that moveInDriver even actually possible...  ???

The house I mentioned is a white one, in Trosky (Novoga). I've already fit up it with a computer, a phone, a steel bed and a radio (did I hear : space problem ?)  ;D

HateR_Kint's solution does work.   Try harder.

You need to check the syntax of the command and ensure that you have the correct chair.    You may need to adjust the positions of the chair and the loon a little.

Yes it does work... I tried it myself just now...

Let me guess: You tried to put the command in the units init field?
Now, don't do that... It will not work in 9.9999989 times out of 9.999999...

Use a trigger or a script instead...
Use it as unit switchMove "onChair" and with Chair X which seems to be the only one that seems to accept to be sitted on...

  That moveindriver thing is a good idea..  ;D

but it's only the chairs for the FDF mod that have it AFAIK...

 I could probably make a simple little wooden desk chair that has the same properties though..  

think it would get used much?

:cheers:

Thanks, HateR_Kint  ;) . You're right ! I used a trigger and it worked !

Example : unit : civilian, name : Civ1. Linked (F2) with a trigger: on Activation : Civ1 switchMove "OnChair"

Note : as you said, it works fine with ChairX ; but it might be working with other chair types, because seems the animation works even without a chair (lol). Perhaps with some trick like getPost (ajust the chair's height...).
Anyway, topic is SOLVED ! Thanks again  :thumbsup: !
