Start group in prone

[Aodan 10]

Hey everyone,

I searched this up and nothing came up, so here it is.

I'm trying to make an ambush mission, where a group of marines in walking by a highway, which is near farmland (This is all in Zargabad by the way), and I am trying to make the Takistani units start in prone mode and be lying in the tall grass so the marines don't see them, and then they suddenly attack upon the marines reaching a trigger. Any way to do this? It's probably quite obvious, I may be just missing it. Thanks for your help!

Put them in stealth mode or try:

this setUnitPos "DOWN";

in their init field.

Thanks.

this setUnitPos "DOWN"; doesn't seem to work.

Could you be a bit more precise?

It does work just fine, that's for sure. Maybe that instruction is counterbalanced by something else in your case.

{
   _x setUnitPos "DOWN";
} forEach (units (group this));

Should work for the whole group in the Leader's init.
