How to use setUnitPos

[Joe98 92]

From the Wiki I tried:

this setUnitPos "DOWN"

_this setUnitPos "DOWN"

Afterwards I named the man Blue and then tried

Blue setUnitPos "DOWN"

_Blue setUnitPos "DOWN"

But the unit began the mission standing upright.

Try putting that into a waypoint init

Also for group

{_x setUnitPos "DOWN"} forEach units group this

I don't know of a way to get a unit to start the mission laying down or even crouched. If it is absolutely necessary to not see them standing, place the unit out of sight and use the setUnitPos "down" to lay them down. Then use setPos to position them after they have layed down.

You're using it right, works fine here w/ CO 1.60 beta (latest). Must be something your end. Also, I don't think this works for player units.

My experience is that it is hit and miss with player units. Works fine for AI units.

Player.

It seems that is the answer.

So you want the player to start the mission lying down? Use an animation.
