Could the concept of this script be remade into an escort for someone that is handcuffed? So far I have got that there is an scroll wheel option on the AI That says Handcuff and they play the animation GUARD. Could you make an option once handcuffed that says Escort and it works in the same way as Dragging dead body's? and then an unescort which will let go of the guy and Leave him standing still in the GUARD Animation? I think this would be a cool idea also things like putting Handcuffed AI into vehicles and a way to release them. I guess this is quite complicated and Im a noob at scripting but Ive got this basic script so far that allows you to Handcuff someone: [badguy1, "GUARD", "ASIS"] call BIS_fnc_ambientanim; Thanks

This is great Bangabob, yet another very useful script by you. Will try this in MP later tonight. I just tried this on spawned AI through eos and debug console but I get 

Error in expression <  [uNITtest] spawn H8_addUnits;>
 Error position: <H8_addUnits;>
 Error Undefined variable in expression: h8_addunits

I cannot find the function h8_addunits. Am I missing something?

Thank you for all the great scripts BTW.

Thanks a lot.

I have done some initial revisions based on my feedback.

The function to addunits to the script is renamed "H8_addDrag". (So it will work properly now)

Bug : (JIP units do not see the moved body in its new position) NOW RESOLVED

Bug : (Other MP units do not see the drag animation) UNKNOWN

Please download this version or copy the code and let me know how it goes :)

Is it possible to make this an addon?

I have no experience with add-on creation.

But this is very simple to install into any mission anyway.

There are several scripts I always use but they get a little cumbersome. Im starting to prefer these things as "always ons."

Thanks Bangabob,

Ok I can drag AI now, but when I release they stay attached to me on hosted server with no other players.

"Bug : (Other MP units do not see the drag animation) UNKNOWN"

Don't know if this is related to this bug, but to be safe maybe execute animation on all machines if possible?

[ [ _pilot, "AmovPercMstpSsurWnonDnon" ], "switchMoveEverywhere" ] call BIS_fnc_MP;// animation
[ [ _pilot, "" ], "switchMoveEverywhere" ] call BIS_fnc_MP;// revert to default


//function
switchMoveEverywhere = compileFinal " _this select 0 switchMove (_this select 1); ";

Is this on a local server or a dedicated server?

I have only tested on dedicated servers.

Thats very strange since no actions are on the player. I tested it in dedicated too. Maybe it's some crazy locality issue when the player is also a server.

Anyway! Sit tight. I had an epiphany and i think i can make this script much more flexible and 'light'.
