We have just posted posts (:)) at the same time.

To make a player start prone just make the same...I suppose.

Isn't there a switchmove command to go in the init field?

this switchmove "combat to lying"

or something that would at least start the player off lying but he would still have the ability to stand up.

I'm guessing that Davies1 justy doesn't want to start a stealth mission with the player standing up in the middle of an enemy encampment

try

"crouchtolying"

"weapontolying"

or even...

"treatedtolying"

I've got this whole list of random commands and I haven't tried most of them.  Would have before this post but I'm on a different console

I remember Tomb asking a question about getting the player to start of lying down binocluaring. Since he never gives up until he has an answer I would suggest you IM him.

If you get a working answer post it here.

Cheers

now this is going to piss you off :D IT'S ME AGAIN!!!!

Right another way is to change the line of the script that says lying no aim to "combattoLying"

Or even better to have

unitname switchmove "combattolying" in a trigger....
The only thing is that you will see the player do this.... and the only way is to fade the game in.
Right im spent.  :moon:
