Girl trouble

[xmurderx 0]

ok, so here is the deal, I made a civ female 1, and she is grouped to a west soldier. I used the deletevehicle (name) string to get rid of him. now. if she is the leader she has black hair, looks really cute, blah blah blah. BUT! east soldier will not fire on her because, Iam presuming, that they still think she is a civ. but when I make the west soldier the leader she can be fired upon by eastern forces because she is recognized as west. now, here is the problem. she turns in to a different character. when she is in the group she has brown hair (not what I want), but when she is the leader she has black hair (what I need for the mission). is there any possible way to make her the black haired lady and have her retain western status so she can be fired upon? thanks for your help.

may be try this :

Edit the mission.sqm and change the side of your girl in WEST or GUER (or any opposite side )

[xmurderx 0]

no luck, she changes into the brown haired girl again. does anyone else have any Idea how?

maybe I can use setface?

[Major Fubar 0]

Instead of using deletevehicle, try setting his chance-of-appearing slider down to 0%.

[xmurderx 0]

Ive tried that but it doesnt change her at all.

does anyone know if the faces go in order? because Ive counted her face at being 64 and I tried "nikki setface "face64"

and that didnt work as well. grrrr, this is pretty frustrating

*bump*

over 80 people have seen this to no avail?

[Harnu 0]

Perhaps, look through all the faces. Find the one that you want then when you make her, give her that face that will include the black hair.

[xmurderx 0]

ok, so I tried, but for some reason it wont work, I tried "nik setface "face64" " and it wont work

wahhhhh, maybe I should just extract the p3d and make a whole new .pbo?

[PRiME 1]

In the mission.sqm file there are two sections you need to change to WEST or GUER or whatever.

class Groups

{

items=16.000000;

class Item0

{

side="EAST"; <----- This one

class Vehicles

{

items=9.000000;

class Item0

{

position[]={5762.585449,192.599991,7052.525879};

special="NONE";

id=8.000000;

side="EAST"; <--------and this one

vehicle="OfficerE";

leader=1.000000;

rank="SERGEANT";

skill=0.466667;

markers[]={};

Etc etc etc,

Hope I helped if not then damn

[xmurderx 0]

no luck, thanks anyways. so now Ill goto the addons section and ask for help with the model since this cant be done with simple int commands.

[Guest]

Try killing him (man1 setdamage 1) and then move him away (man1 setpos [0,0,0] ).

[xmurderx 0]

still no luck

this is painful

[Guest]

A quick way that must work is if you set the girl's score to something negative. The downside is that western units will also attack her then

I'll find you a solution as soon as I get home from work in a couple of hours, well, I'll try anyway

[Guest]

I just tried the first suggestion that I made and it works like a charm.

Does anybody know the face names for the Women? They are not "Face64" or stuff like "FaceR12" or anything like that.

[Harnu 0]

Isn't Face99 Angelina? I dunno the rest

[xmurderx 0]

yeah, I tried "this setdamage 10; this setpos [0,0,0]" but she still turns into the brown haired girl.

Aha, I misunderstood your problem. I thought it was that East wouldn't fire on her.

Ok, to keep the black-haired girl make her the leader of a group. Make another group with western soldiers. Make the western leader "join and lead" the female civ group. Kill the western group members.

The "Join and lead" you can do with either waypoints or scripting. Just tried it and it works

[ralphwiggum 6]

using that "Face #" thing,

I think, you have to define

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Face 11="name of character(like Viktor P)"<span id='postcolor'>

in description.ext, and then you can use setFAce command.

I'm not totally sure about this. I got it from Lustypooh's tutorial(?) long time ago.

Denoir's method would be better, if you those that are trying to kill the civilian girl is not in visual contact.

[xmurderx 0]

amazing, thank you very much!!

[xmurderx 0]

ok, umm, I did everything you said, but it didnt work, the eastern soldiers wouldnt fire on the female.

[xmurderx 0]

*bump*

[Guest]

You are doing something wrong. I tried it at home and it worked exactly as it should.

[xmurderx 0]

no, really, I followed every step of your instructions.

this is what I did.

I made a group with the black haired girl as the leader, and another girl as her follower, next I made two western soldiers, but for testing purposes I made them without weapons. now around the corner I put an eastern soldier. next I made the western troops "join and lead" using a waypoint to the females. they joined and led. now the eastern soldier comes around the corner, he kills the two unarmed western soldiers and just sits there and looks at the females. I even armed the female with a beretta and increased the number of eastern troops. they come around the corner and kill the western troops while she kills all the eastern troops as they watch her. I think when you tested it the female was in the way of the eastern solider line of fire and he ment to only kill the western troops. so she never changes.

do you think maybe I can just make her a unit? does anyone out there know to make single units out of existing in game characters?
