Execution script?

[SOSyourself 10]

I need some help trying to get an execution going...

Main issue is, I don't know how to have the soldiers fire. I tried changing their ROE to open fire and placed invisible targets behind the civilians but they did not stop shooting when the civilians had died.

Also, I tried to make the civilians put their hands behind their head but if I loop that animation it makes them invincible for some reason? (animloop.sqs)

Thanks in advance

shooter doTarget victim;

shooter doFire victim;

Of course they keep shooting on the invisible targets because they are the real targets and not the civilians.

And the content of that animloop.sqs we shall guess now I presume?

I assume do fire will either fire once, or fire until the victim is killed?

and here is the .sqf

_unit = _this select 0;

_animation = _this select 1;

_switchMove = _this select 2;

_unit setVariable ["BIS_noCoreConversations", true];

if (_switchMove) then {

while {true} do {

_unit switchMove _animation;

waitUntil {animationState _unit != _animation};

};

} else {

while {true} do {

_unit playMove _animation;

waitUntil {animationState _unit != _animation};

};

};

EDIT: Yeah the script works perfectly, now I just need to address the issue with the hands on the head and being invincible.

It's not that they're invincible, but rather they stuck in the animation. I use one of two methods, depending on the situation. The easiest for a hands-on-head animation is to call disable movement:

dude playMove "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon";
sleep 1;
dude disableAI "Anim";

The dude will keep that animation state until you do:

dude enableAI "Anim";

At which point he will usually come right out of the hands-on-head animation. If not, you could try these:

dude switchMove "";
dude playMoveNow "AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon";

One or the other, you don't need both. Sometimes one won't work, that's why I listed both.

As for *when* to come out of the animation state, I use event handlers.

_ehEvent = _unit addEventHandler ["killed", {_this execVM "stopAnimation.sqf"}];

where stopAnimation.sqf has the code to enableAI "anim". There is also "firednear" and "hit". You could use all 3, or 2 of them, whatever suits you.

I'm just throwing different techniques that I employ at you. Maybe something will help.
