Just set the sleeping units as captive. Captives dont engange and dont transmit any position of detected units.

Detection triggers dont trigger in that situation. Captives are in fact sleeping units with eyes open  :P

You are right, by mistake I set the enemy group also captive, so both groups ingored to each other. Forget the idea bout the captives  :no:

Can't you just add a fired event handler and have it hint the knowsAbout level when it trips? That will get you close.

Remove all the ammo?  :confused:

You may put the enemy prone soldiers as captive and careless. I think captives are not east/weast so detected by trigger should not trigger.

Hmm. If all that stuff doesn't work, you might try to group him with a civilian colonel (probability: 0%).

Try this:

soldier1 stop true; soldier1 setUnitPos "UP";

Works like a charm for me!

here is what i did....

i used da knowsabout command 4 every1 (removed da detection triger) and set da sleepin man as captive... and put him on sleepin anim (it actually looks good :D... and he wakes up with a smoth anim transition) now i used mandos getpos 2 check... if da player is standin or crouching near him he wakes up if he is prone he stays asleep... if ny1 fires he wakes up... unless its a silenced weapon... :D
