Title: unit selectWeapon "Binocular" wont work???
Post by: Scratchdat on 09 Jun 2004, 18:04:37

Should be quite simple but apparently its not.

Basically I want a unit to use his binoculars, but

unit selectWeapon "Binocular"

doesn't seem to work, even though the unit has binoculars in his inventory.

Any ideas?

 :) yea, dude. ya need to use the default "play/Switch-Moves" from a list, pref. using a script :

Name a guy Bob, then in a scroll you put:

Bob playMove "StandToBinocStand"

..or whatever the code is. And then a short delay before you loop the command. ;) :thumbsup:
And finally, a trigger could fire the magic word that would cut the loop & exit the script.


Example:

Code: [Select]

#loop
~2
bob switchMove "CombatRunFtoLying"
~2
bob selectWeapon "binocular"
?notbozoBinocing: bob switchMove "auto", exit
goto "loop"
som'n like that would make bob lie down & use them binocs  ::) ;D

later :-*

Works for me, make sure you put the unit in SAFE behaviour.

@Tomb

Code: [Select]

bob switchMove "auto",
???
do you mean ?

Code: [Select]

bob setunitpos "AUTO"

 :) nope, m8
I was talking about animations... If you selectWeapon Binocs, he'll pocket them again
after a short while. To avoid this (for cutscenes or alike), a looped scroll works better. :thumbsup:
