Civil soldiers?

[oWn]

How to make civilians to enemies? so the AIs shoot them? :-\

[macguba]

Create a civvy.   Create for example an East soldier, make him higher rank than the civvy.   Group the civvy to him, so that East is the group leader.    In the init field of the eastloon write this

deleteVehicle this

When the mission starts the eastloon will be deleted leaving the civvy as an "east" soldier.   West will shoot at him.

I will try that! thanks!
but will the civilian shoot back on the west guys?

[Kaptain_Karl]

I think they will only shoot back if you give them a weapon with the addWeapon and addMagazine commands.  :-\

If you know the model paths for the civilians you could make a "new" addon, basically just a config file in a pbo. It'd select the model and config an alternative version as a west soldier, that way you wouldnt have to go thru all the crap of scripting them.

[oWn]

well they are not shooting back when they have a weapon... I don't think they know how

The civilians will shoot back if you did it like macguba said. There's no need to make yet another useless addon when you can have the same effect with scripting. Here's a run through of the method again.

Create a civilian with a private's rank. Put in his init field: this addmagazine "ak47"; this addweapon "ak47"

Create a east officer with a captain's rank. Put in his init field: deletevehicle this.

Group the above units together.

Create a west soldier nearby the civillian.

Watch them shoot their brains out.  ;D

Nope the civilian dosen't blow anyting out.. he youst lying there as a fool..
When I shoot the civilian the weapon not even reloaded...

[macguba]

You must add a magazine before the weapon.   Write in the init line of the civvy:-

this addMagzine "m16";   this addWeapon "m16"

What happened when you changed the civvy to Player and Previewed the mission?

[oWn]

Please I'm not a noob! Ofcourse i added some ammo! But the civvy dosent do anything! When I test the civilian i can shoot and all.. but the weapon has no ammo in it from the begining, as usual... :-\

Greetings oWn,

Could you post the exact code that you put in the INIT line?

Make sure it matches this format:

Code: [Select]

this addMagazine "AK74"; this addMagazine "AK74"; this addWeapon "AK74"
the "AK74" can be "M16" or any other type of weapon. Be careful, though as some weapons like the G36a have different names for magazines (for example "G36a" is the name of the weapon, G36amag" is the ammo).

This is not a problem with the M16 or the AK74 though - they have the same name for ammo and weapon.

Of course, It could be some other problem. By default, I don't think civies have any proper combat AI (don't respond to doTarget commands, etc.), but this problem should be solved once you put them on the East side. Do the West guys see them as enemies - do they attack them?

It could also be that the west soldiers kill the civilians before they have time to reload. Make sure that you put the ammo in before you give them the weapon. This is the Golden Rule of adding weapons.

Hope that was, in some way, helpful...

Good luck, :thumbsup:

I just tested it and it worked fine for me.     Civvy had ammo and weapon and shot the west loon straight away.

Are you sure you added the ammo before the weapon like I said?


Edit:  just seen PsyWarrior's post

[dmakatra]

Which version do you use oWn?

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[oWn]

version hrm... Iam not at home but i think it is 1.175 (the one you get after installing resistance).

Now when I read that you shood put the ammo Before the weapon I haven't try that...  But when I put out like 12 civil guys with guns and all
[This addweapon "ak47"; this addmagazine "ak47";] and shoot down like 11 off them the one left shot back!  

[Artak]

Maybe he's had enough time to reload  

If you add the magazines before the weapon, the weapon is loaded and the moron is ready to shoot, otherwise they'll have to reload.
