Title: coupla probs
Post by: Foo on 14 Jan 2003, 12:50:47

how do u get units to kneel? like when they take something from ammo crates or lay satchel charges?

Also, anyone know how to make artillery that hits randomly(or within a cretain radius)....basically, i need to have triggers ingame if posible....i tried doing it by placing game logic wihtn a 100meter radius, then creating a shell at that pos, but, although it hits in a different place every time i play it, once the artillery is fored it hits the same place...hellp, in anyway, would be welcome

that particular animation can easily be achieved by using this syntax:

unitName action["REARM"]

Well, it works well for human players, with you crouching down and crouching up again when you move (like when taking stuff from an ammo box). I'm not too sure of how it effects AI players though...have to try it I suppose.

But I bet the animation also exists somewhere among the play and switchmoves...you just have to see if someone knows it, and if not, try them out for yourself :P

g'luck!

Wolfrug out.

Hey

I got back, now, type this in the init feild of your player to make him sitting down instantly (Good for the star of a mission:

this setbehaviour "safe"; this switchmove "effectstandsitdown"

Put this in the activation field of a waypoint:

unitname playmove "effectstandsitdown"

Or

unitname action ["sitdown"]
