How to make a civilian throw a grenade at a policeman

[Cerberus094-PL- 10]

Hey guys, I need help. I want to make a civilian throw a grenade at a policeman, so I have written a small script for this:

man1 addWeapon "HandGrenade"; man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";
~1
man1 selectWeapon "HandGrenade"
~0.2
man1 doTarget police2
~1
man1 doFire police2

But it doesn't work :confused: Does anyone has an idea how to make the civilian do it?

It doesn't work. I was not able to force AI fire handgrenade. I tried doTarget, doFire, fire but nothing seems to work. I also tried to make the cop enemy to civil and set the cop's addRating to -5000 but I failed.

I works perfectly if you give a gun to the civil but when you try with handgrenade you have no succes.

So, I found solution with CombatRunThrowGrenadeStart animation and createVehicle a nade to the target position. SP/MP compatible.

~3
if (_ls) then {boom="GrenadeHand" createVehicle (getpos _p)}

#ende

exit

IMPORTANT: don't forget to name dir.sqf and not sqs

Thank you guys for help, but today i found out that there's a nice addon - "Gimbal Tossers", it adds civilians throwing bottles and some other things at enemy and it works without any ingerence from the missionmaker Sorry for taking your time ;)

I was able to get civillian to throw grenades.

It doesn't work. I was not able to force AI fire handgrenade. I tried doTarget, doFire, fire but nothing seems to work. I also tried to make the cop enemy to civil and set the cop's addRating to -5000 but I failed.

errrrm - civilian has weapon - "Throw" - meaning you did not use removeAllWeapons man1?

man1 addWeapon "HandGrenade"; man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";

~1

man1 selectWeapon "HandGrenade"

~0.2

man1 doTarget police2

~1

man1 doFire police2

Try the below instead:

man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";

~1

man1 doTarget police2

~1

man1 doFire police2

hi,

man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";man1 addMagazine "HandGrenade";

man1 doTarget police2

man1 doFire police2

Yes I know that civilian have throw and put weapon by default and using removeAllWeapons doesn't change anything.

Sorry maybe I'm doing something wrong but your script doesn't work for me.
