Title: Getting guys to sit on ground
Post by: Soldier8Boy on 29 Aug 2002, 21:23:10

Whenever I use the switchmove and an animation the guy just flickers quickly. It seems as if he did the animation at super sonic speed... can anyone help pls?

switchmove moves the unit to that posistion instantly (well close enough) some animations are switchmove only - but your command isnt

use 'playmove' instead

Maybe you've used a wrong command?

I've found this three but have only tested the first.

EffectStandSitDownVer1
EffectStandSitDownVer2
EffectStandSitDownStill

Try this:

this setBehaviour "safe"; this switchMove "EffectStandSitDown"

or replace the switchMove with playMove

I noticed that the ones with ending 'Ver1', 'Ver2', 'Still' only worked on versions on pre-1.75v.

Hope this helped :joystick:  :beat:

as ive said - on the pre 1.46 animations - switchmove instantly forces the unit to the animation.

If you use a command that can use 'playmove' then they will do a slow controlled movement to the animation - so to make him sit down use:

unitname playmove "efffectstandsitdown"

animations after 1.75 (the new animations) all use swithmove.
