Setunitpos

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setunitpos

FYI - These last 3 commands I use like this:

I have guys set to kneel (soldier_1 setunitpos "MIDDLE") behind sandbags, as well as (soldier_1 disableAI "MOVE") to keep them in place.

Then have a trigger over the area within their immediate perimeter set to Blufor present, when that trigger goes off it triggers (soldier_1 enableAI "MOVE").

This makes it so they hold their position if you are at a distance but when you compromise their position *trigger goes off* they can move around again if need be.

(I don’t really understand the dialog stuff yet but I know its important!)

I am looking for good video tutorials to learn to use the editor with a mix of scripting. Do you know of any guys ? Thanks in advance.

Yea if a moderator wants to sticky this that would be cool, they can remove the "I've compiled" part in the thread name.
