Title: How do I use setHideBehind
Post by: BensTooCool on 15 Apr 2007, 18:39:15

I'm want to make an AI unit move into a building to a specific hide position. I've looked at the command sethidebehind but I don't know how type it I tried this in the final waypoint acct field

Code: [Select]

unit sethidebehind[objectid, hidepostion]

You may start checking these:
setHideBehind (http://ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=715)

findCover (http://ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=557) or just use a known object. Not object id, but real object (you may use one of the nearest@@@ functions to get it).

getHideFrom (http://ofpec.com/COMREF/index.php?action=details&id=576) It seems this determines from what you are hidding, so that the unit does really hide with the hidding object between the unit and the enemy.

At this time I cannot add much more info about these  :whistle:

I think getHideFrom returns the point where to hide behind an object to be hidden from a unit.
I've always seen [0, 0, 0] returned, so I dropped working on the command, but now I see setHideBehind (this command had skipped under my radar), perhaps in fact getHideFrom returns the position where unit should hide in the hiding object model space.
It doesn't really explains why I always got [0, 0, 0] as result, though
