Simple Scanning

[plugger 0]

G'day,

I have several AI snipers in a mission manning rooftops.

Because of the variable entry points of the player controlled units I end up with situations where the snipers are looking in the wrong direction.

How do I get the snipers to 'scan around', eg. continuously search all around ?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Plugger

I use this, mostly for search lights or mounted MC guns but it will work for simple units.

// Obj is the units name who will  search;
// Deg is the area that the unit will search  0 - 359;
// null=[obj,deg] execVM "movegunner.sqf"
// By F2kSel


//if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_unit = _this select 0;
_deg  = _this select 1;

_face = getdir _unit;
_gman = (gunner (vehicle _unit));

while {(alive _gman) &&  (alive _unit)} do
{
_gman setformdir _face+((random -(_deg)+(_deg/2)));

sleep (random 6)+2;
};
