Title: Unit move to Unit acting weird
Post by: Jh62 on 04 Aug 2012, 01:05:15

Hi, this is annoying me...

I have this code:

Code: [Select]

_zombie = _this select 0
_man = _this select 1

_zombie setUnitPos "UP"
_zombie setBehaviour "CARELESS"
_zombie setSpeedMode "FULL"

removeAllWeapons _zombie
_zombie addMagazine "StrokeFist"
_zombie addWeapon "StrokeFist"

#loop
? (_zombie distance _man) > 5 : goto "move"
~1
goto "loop"

#move
_zombie GlobalChat "Moving..."
_zombie doMove getpos _man
goto "loop"
The _zombie moves to _man and stops when it's above him (touching him).

Now, if I change the distance check to any other number than five in ? (_zombie distance _man) > 5 : goto "move", the _zombie will move until its like 5 meters away from unit and I don't know why!

I need the _zombie to "touch" the other unit, and "distance > 5" is not useful because if i move a few steps away, _zombie stops moving...

And I have another issue:

I give _zombie "StrokeFist" weapon and make it Fire when it's near _man, but it won't stop doing the stroking animation even when I issued "doStop" or " _zombie switchMove "" ".

Any help???

[EDIT]

Close combat is a very... problematic topic in OFP/CWA.

If you want the zombie to move closer to the unit and actually attack, you should do something like

Code: [Select]

? (_zombie distance _man) < 5.5: _zombie switchMove "CivilRunF"; goto "next"

goto "loop"

#next

_pos = getpos _zombie

_zombie setdir ((getpos _man select 0) - (_pos select 0)+.001) atan2 ((getpos _man select 1) - (_pos select 1))

~0.6

_zombie playmove "StandStrokeFist"

~0.2

?_zombie distance _man < 2: goto "damage"

~1

goto "loop"

#damage

_man setDammage ((damage _man) + 0.25)

;;(maybe also some soundeffect, etc...)

~1

goto "loop"

It's pretty much a workaround... the problem is that units don't use the Strokefist or Strokegun weapon...

Yeah, thanks.

I've done that to get the results i've wanted and now it works perfectly.

I've manage to make a pretty good zombie script that targets closest unit (civilian, animal, etc...) and chase it as long as he knows where it is.

Glad it works. I wasn't too sure if I made any mistakes.
