Title: Sit the f**k down!
Post by: Urbanebula on 23 Jul 2004, 10:42:51

How do i get soldiers to sit down and clean their weapons like in one of the intros? Oh and you can do it yourself but nobody else does.

Hey, I tried that once, but I have a problem with it... The units got up pretty soon after they had sat down, is there a way to fix this? Or do I have to script it to repeat the move?  ???

Thanx!

Then just look unit switchmove "effectstandsitdown" with a delay of about 1 seconds (~1) in a script

I have never needed any loops... But triggers or script would work more reliably than init line...

and mode 'safe' will be just fine...

If the units you are trying to get to sit down belong to a group, you must set their 'special' to 'none' instead of 'in formation' and then doStop the units before using the "effectStandSitDown"...

Otherwise they just jump up because they start to form the formation they are set in...

ok make a sqs file call it sumthing like sitdown.sqs

now in there put:

Code: [Select]

_unit=_this select 0

#loop
_unit switchmove "effectstandsitdown"
~3
goto "loop"
exit;
now in the soldiers init that you want to sit down put:

Code: [Select]

[this] exec "sitdown.sqs"
you can put that in as many soldiers as you wish

Hope this helps

cheers, Philly

With that script how do the soldiers get up? Are they going to be stuck in lazy sleep and sit mode all day?

Put another check in there, like radioaplha = true: goto "getup"... ::)

pmsl

ok use this

Code: [Select]

_unit=_this select 0

#loop
?standup=true:goto "end"
_unit switchmove "effectstandsitdown"
~3
goto "loop"

#end
exit;


so when u want to make then stand up, put:

standup=true

in the trigger/waypoint activation

Hi, try this

Code: [Select]

Unitname action ["sitdown"]

And they wont stand up, unless they feel hostile presence...

Thanks quys! That's the way I would have scripted it! Though I tried putting them careless or safe, and it didn't help... but I think that DoStop works....

Thanks alot! :D
