Simple questions for you good script boy!

[frag]

Hi guys,

2 questions (didn't find anything with search)...

1. How can I set a unit hostage having his hands behing their head? (I saw some in a resistance mission)

2. How can I light the campfire object?

Thanks!

1)  playmove "FXstandsur"  
 (I'm 90% sure that's the right animation, if not someone will give ya the correct one shortly I'm sure )
used in a looped scroll to keep his hands behind his head  


2) this inflame true    (works for 1.46 and previous, not positive about resistance.. haven't actually lit one, well not a fire at least  ;D   in OFP:R yet

Kaliyuga,

the campfire is alright...thanks

About the hostage move, I can't get it done. I even try to remove weapon of the soldier and put it (this setcaptive true)

You've to add this SwitchMove "FXStandSurUniv" in a Waypoint (at On Activation) and set the "WP behaviour" to careless...this should work.

I think I read something about to use the PlayMove instead of SwitchMove for Resistance...try yourself.

As mentioned you can also put this in a script and loop it to be sure "to keep his hands behind his head".
Notice you've to name the unit if you use it in a script (name SwitchMove "FXStandSurUniv").

The this inflame true/false works fine in 1.75.

Ok!
You will not need a loop for this switchmove!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

unit switchmove "fxstandsurdown"  from standing position.
unit will stay in this particular pose.
                            OR
unit switchmove"fxstandsuruniv"
This one the unit will leave his gun on the ground.

To change back use  switchmove"" or  switchmove"normal"
remember to setcaptive true, or they will shoot.
 ;D ;D
Hope that helps.
P.S.  I know alot about switchmoves, so I could help more
If needed!!! ;D

Thanks guy,

I am now able to have the move!!!

But is it normal that a unit with the hand behind his head become invincible.

I can shot like 3 magazines on him ... He is full of blood...but dont fall on the ground  

[LCD]

he is not invincible he just cannot change position    ;D he is already dead  

so make a trig like dat

Code: [Select]

condition : not alive unitname
on activision : unitname switchmove "null"



LCD OUT

[lilmat]

Generally what happens with switchmoves is, the unit
is "SWITCHED" to this position. Just like sitting down.
So as LCD has said add the loop and he will fall faster
to the ground then Austin Powers trying to get shagged!!
 ;D ;D ;D

[chrisb1220]

The trigger does not work. Can someone tell me how to make him fall?

[icarus_uk]

Did you replace UnitName with the name of the unit you are using?

[chrisb1220]

YA! I'm not that stupid!

[chrisb1220]

I'm dieing! :beat:
