Title: 3 Questions on Scripting and Positions
Post by: SAS on 04 Jul 2009, 19:49:38

Hi hoping that someone can help me with 3 small issues I have on the Utes map, at position 038018 there is an empty camp, at position 038017 there are 3 buildings I want to have 3 people in the 2nd building however when I place them they always end up on the roof, any ideas for getting them into one of the rooms?

Second issue is this I want a USMC Officer to be a captive in the old days I would just use the code

Code: [Select]

officer setCaptive true with officer as the name of the unit, however this doesn't work in ARMA2 for some reason

Third Issue is getting the 2 units to join me I used

Code: [Select]

[officer, minister] join  me; officer setCaptive false in Resistence and it worked but it fails in ARMA 2.

Any thoughts?

Both commands still have the same syntax as you described above.  Check your Arma2.rpt for any potential errors.

As for the roof issue, you'll have to use setPos (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setPos) to position them in-building.  E.g. (in the init. field):

Code: [Select]

this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 3];
This will place the unit 3 units above the ground level.  You'll have to adjust this for each building/floor.
